        Hmm… on second thoughts, perhaps one shouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to grow up. You have my blessing to remain a HamBoi until you’re ready for the big time

          I think you swallowed the advertising whole .

          Good with a little hot water , milk n honey for a warm breaky in winter.
          Admittedly I haven't eaten for many years as there's much more variety in breakfast cereals these days , but growing up , a little butter and peanut butter on top make for an improvised snack if there was nothing else in the cupboard.

            I see you successfully made the transition to adulthood. Congrats!

              @tharlow: Maybe you should try transitioning to an adult yourself

              This is a staple , cheap and healthy food for a lot of low income households.
              How about some positive alternatives suggestions ?

              But Instead

              Somehow you think your funny but it's just going down like dry Weet-Bix.
              Don't give up your day/dole job .

          Yes wheat is mostly carbs. It enabled humanity to have high calorie food that stored well and easy to produce/grow. Enabling civilization.

            @Kommodore: We are no longer hunter/gatherers though, so do not need a high card diet.

            • @jv: According to the Mayo Clinic, 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories should come from carbohydrates. That’s equal to about 225 to 325 grams of carbs if you eat 2,000 calories a day.

  • I heard some people eat these with water or just on their own

    • Yeah I eat them on their own. I can’t stand these or any cereal with milk it’s too much of an odd texture for me to stomach

  • i eat mine with fruit and almond milk.

    Not a bad deal, though not as good as half price Vita Brits 1kg, which I'm hoping for next month, based on the specials over the past 2 years.

      I prefer vitabrits but eat weetbix because it's supplemented with iron

    How many boxes of these do I need to build a small house, and whats best to use as glue and prefer something that won't melt in the rain?

      Apparently concerns have been raised about the structural integrity of Weet-Bix, especially when they get wet.

        " Weet-Bix, especially when they get wet"

        Are you really the only person who hasn't let some dry in the bowl and needed a sandblaster…

  • Thanks OP, just in time!

  • I love my Weetbix with honey.

    • +1

      What kind of honey?

      • Pure honey from a beekeeper in Great Western

    • You've done it all your life?

      • Yep, around 60 years

      Weetbix with frozen fruits and a dash of Beechworth honey plus Vitasoy soy milk. Easy, fast, fulfilling, balanced breakfast

    Aldi Bix are a good substitute, also less added sugar.

    • So Vitabrits then…

    • bet 99% of people who eat these add sugar in some form anyway (fruit/honey/milk/yoghurt) so why does that matter?

      • only eat weetbix with milk no sugar

    • Yes.

      I looked at 3x brands and placed their boxes side-by-side in Woolworths,
      ie. Weetbix, Wheat Biscuits, Vita Brits,
      to compare their salt and sugar content, and they all vary.

      It's not so clear-cut, as to which is better,
      but I tend to buy the in-house brands (eg. Home Brand 'Wheat Biscuits' or Aldi's 'Bix'),
      because they seem to be the "healthiest".

      • Weetbix has iron supplemented which is why I choose it

    This was ½ price two weeks ago at Woolworths.

    • Kids eat like there is no tomorrow

      Not really… it’s half-price. So it’s more like stealing from God
