Cereal box size vs content weight tested

My fellow myBB members... Stop eating sugar loaded cereals.

Buy Instant oats and add a scoop of your favourite protein for extra flavour.

Your heart and health will thank you later. Have a blessed life...

Spot on.

I buy the red box of Jungle Oats. Cooked in high fat full cream milk, no sugar. Added few spoons of whey powder and 4 spoons of Ensure.

It's enough to for an entire day's worth of energy.

That's like a heart attack just waiting to happen! Also, totally haraam.

Eat the box instead, it does not contain any valuable nutrition, but neither does the flakes.

How much cereal you really get in a box

Testing by MyBroadband revealed that cereal boxes give an exaggerated perception of the amount of cereal in the box but that you do get what you pay for.

The size of cereal boxes is a widely discussed topic, with some arguing that oversized packaging creates the illusion that it contains more product.

I can see that you're a cereal box half empty kind of guy

FIFY

a) Is this how low MyBB has sunk in trying to come up with articles. I thought the "lets send off some letters via SAPO and see what happens" were the low point ...

b) Can you do another one, but this time remove all the crushed up stuff at the bottom of the bag that you never eat anyway? I want to know how much the actual edible full pieces count for in the box.

Don't like the premise? Don't read it. This type of journalistic investigation is valuable because journalists keep companies accountable.

This article may even inspire change (such as reducing the packaging size), which will benefit everyone.

Sounds miserable.

You could add some cinnamon, apple and vanilla essence (if you are feeling fancy) and you will then at least enjoy it.

Eh. Too much bacon, yeah, I would agree. But there is nothing wrong with eating eggs every day.

My cousin stayed over ofr a few days recently and her little princess only eats Coco Pops. R58 for a 350gram box. I was tempted to tell her to stop thinking the sun shines out of her little brat princesses a$$

Shop somewhere cheaper.

Pronutro is SO nice but jinne that stuff makes me poof duk stukke.

Pronutro can also be used as a substitute for cement. Could probably build an entire house with that stuff.

I'd probably go with less bacon, but otherwise for me a better breakfast than any type of cereal.

Ah Pronutro..

An ex used to survive off the stuff for months that carried him through extreme financial difficulty.

We used to argue about the perfect way of making it.. milk first, last, cold, heated, microwave, stove top, stirred anti-clockwise etc.

One thing we agreed on was: you never turn your back on Pronutro, 'cos regardless of how you make it, it will harden the **** up the exact instant you turn your back on it.

 

[duckgray]

Now do one on bags of chips.

This stuff is expensive..

I buy this 5kg bucket from Dischem for R200, blend it when I need a finer texture, make oat milk & crunchies, literally lasts me forever..


Actually I prefer the steel cut oats (where incidentally Woolies has the better price/kg) but it takes way longer to cook so I keep that for weekends..

Just Googled, the air is actually nitrogen gas. I had to check because I know air to be an enemy of starch.

Can reuse it to fill up my tyres though?

This was my cousin that stayed over for a few days as she was up from Cape Town. This is the only cereal her spoiled child eats.

I'd like to read about condom sizes. Those freebees in the change house doesn't even fit over the tip. (And i've got a small pecker) Maybe it's from china ?

Your pecker is from China? Wouldn't you know where it's from?

I am partial to Corn-Flakes, during the colder seasons...for the rest Jungle Oats FTW ...keep weetbix and that super moisture absorbing sand, I mean Pro-Nutro far away from me...

Want to see the difference what you consume makes to your system...for a couple of mornings, just have a couple of bananas , few ground nuts - that you have soaked overnight ... and sone honey....
