Me too. But that is my normal mode. There is something very interesting about shredded wheat. Do they have it stateside, I wonder?

 

[buckytom]

Yes we do, in many forms. Giant ones, spoon sized ones, some glazed with sugar on one side, some glazed on the other side , even ones with a bit of mashed dried fruit inside. The latter are my favourite.

Oh gosh! Its totally American in origin!

Premiering to the public at Chicago's World Columbian Exposition in 1893, shredded wheat cereal was then manufactured by The Natural Food Company in Niagara Falls, New York in 1901. It became the Shredded Wheat Company in 1904. It was bought by Nabisco (National Biscuit Company) in December 1928.

Maybe you've got them the the wrong way round, and they're all glazed/sugared on the the same side!

Shredded Wheat - Invented by Henry Perky in 1890

I like shredded wheat too but or some reason my partner thinks that muesli is healthier.

Well, maybe.

But can you explain how my Alphabits cereal became haunted? When I pour them over milk, it says "ooo000ooo".

Wait, nevermind. Those were Cheerios cereal.

Maybe they'd never had milk baths before!

These short fat bananas arrived yesterday. Should be ripe in a few days.

 

[buckytom]

Any tarantulas, Yorky?

I'm always freaked out with large clusters of green bananas, about the "free" tarantula thing.

Our back field was originally full of banana trees and I did not see one tarantula (although I'm not saying there were not any there).

 

[buckytom]

They were probably just hiding until you fell asleep...

If 1 of those things appeared you wouldn't see me for dust
