Is Weetabix a treat?

[holyzombiejesus]

@simonmaginn

Having trouble deciding between Corbyn and Johnson? It might help to think about the food-bank volunteer who found a woman in tears with a young child and took them to the supermarket. They bought Weetabix: the child thought this was a 'treat'.
Just let that image play.
Think.

This made me feel so fucking upset. Can you imagine being a young kid and considering a box of Weetabix 'a treat'? Maybe if it was the 48 pack with extra Dr Who cards, but I'm guessing this happened in 2019 rather than 1975.

Grim.

oh but legend bozza. hes a cunt like me. Crobbins is like genuinely empathetic and i can't stand that

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

You know on the right wing fun clubs they are constantly pushing that Corbyn is 'a millionaire who doesn't understand normal people'.

It's all about Get Brexit Done and if a coalition of Saddam Hussain, Raoul Moat and Marc Dutroux were leading it then they'd ignore all their faults too for the sake of the One True Goal.

Fuck the Tories obviously but 3 dry Weetabix covered in flora margarine is one of my guilty food pleasures. Eat the first two over the place then turn the last one upside-down and pick up all the Weetabix crumbs with the marg side. So nice.

Are you aware that you're a dreadful cunt?

For some strange reason, I'm seeing Neil Kinnock doing the voice over for the "Finger of fudge" advert. Which comedy show of the late 80s or early 90s was that?

Made me angry.

Something has to change.  Each of us carries responsibility for making that happen.

Are you eligible to vote?

[Buelligan]

I've already done it.

To be fair if anyone held me at gun point and asked me if Weetabix is a treat I wouldn't be able to deny that it is.

When I was in a German hospital for 2 months due to retinopathy...sharing a room with a farting former Nazi-youther, breakfast consisted of leaded schwarzbrot and ham. It was killing me until my then girlfriend found a shop selling Oatibix - THIS WAS A TREAT BEYOND TREATS

Depends how old the child is, my son is two and if I wrapped a dog turd in a piece of grease proof paper and told him it was a treat he would get excited. Weetabix is stretching it though.

I too had a similar experience with hospital food and actual Weetabix.  It's a bit like daddy or chips though, neither are great but one is not completely shit.

It's expensive, in fact all big brand cereal seems expensive compared to own brand equivalents which taste almost exactly the same.

Phil Cool's BBC2 show.

They should do adverts calling it Treatabix if it is a treat but I imagine it would just get laughed at.

Imagine looking round at this country and seeing how it's changed over the last 9 years and thinking, 'ooh, more of the same please.'

Nobody should have to use a food bank (I very strongly suspect my parents' would have had to use them if I'd have been a kid now rather than the 80s), but to be fair maybe the lad just loves a nice bowl of Weetabix.

[Jasha]

Surely the treat is having milk to splash on the Weetabix and not tepid tap water

Thanks for clearing that up. Just found it on YouTube, but doesn't seem that funny anymore. https://youtu.be/I9kZWbpxCuk

The little bite size ones with fruit or chocolate chips in them are

But yeah that's shit

You may think that this is a discussion about food banks but it is actually a conversation about only specifically the treat value of weetabix.


Oh by the way there's little mini weetabixes and proper sized ones about the proportions of a bar of soap.  The former are not treats while the latter are.

[touchingcloth]

I don't have a very sweet tooth, so to me Weetabix plus milk is quite the sugary treat. I imagine if I never had any sugar at all it would blow my balls off with its sweet and malty goodness - not everything has to be choco krispies in Nesquilk to be enjoyable.

That bee off the honey nut loops adverts is a nailed on Lib Dem. You can tell by looking at him that he wouldn't risk rocking any boats.
Only Tony the Tiger is a true Corbyn man, like a big stripey affable Ross Kemp. "Nationalising the railways will be grrrrrreat!!"
