Just thought I'd ask since we had a coach tour from the USA at work recently and they were all very confused by the Weetabix. They enjoyed it, though. 👍
I love Weetabix! The only problem is that it sucks up all the milk even worse than shredded wheat... Well, that, and also it seems that the plastic wrap isn’t quality enough to keep out certain bugs.
I used to crush two Weetabix into a bowl, and then mix in about a tablespoon of sugar, and then eat it like that... it was drier than a witch's tit, but strangely enjoyable!
At work I regularly put 3 Weetabix in a bowl, fill the bowl to the brim with milk, then cover the Weetabix with segments of Orange. The Weetabix soak up the milk and go all soggy, and then the Orange sits on top of the much letting the orangey flavour seep in. Might go make some myself now.

No nor Vita-Brits, only the sugar content.
I have eaten Weetbix all my life.
Sanitarium, the company that makes them, sponsors the Aussie cricket team. Currently they are running an advert with the catch phrase "How many do you do".
I've never heard of it, looks interesting. It's like a bowl's worth of cereal stuck together. How do you eat it?
There is aweetabixusa.com. According to weetabix.co.uk, Weetabix entered the US market in 1968, so somebody's heard of it.
On Weet-Bix vs Weetabix:
from wikipedia: ...sold the Australian and New Zealand rights for "Weet-Bix" to Sanitarium ... When they introduced the product to the British market they renamed the product "Weetabix."...
In truely Aussie fashion when I have weet-bix (Aussie product), which I haven't for quite some time, I don't have them with milk, I put Vegemite on them and eat them like that

Not sure if there are "Trader Joe's" stores throughout the US, but they're common over here on the left coast, and you can get Weetabix there.
Love 'em. Great just with milk, but eat them quick while there's still a little crunch.
Good for English winter too when mashed up into some warmed milk.
Used to eat them with sugar or honey on as a kid, but I don't need the extra sweetness nowadays.
@ Jondot, by 'eck there's a demand fer Yorkshire Tea out 'ere, there's nowt quite like a good strong cuppa of t'likes of Yorkshire Gold.
Especially after you've experienced the American breakfast "Tea" - a lemon slice & a paper-wrapped bag of Lipton comes on the side of the saucer of a cup of lukewarm water that's somehow supposed to brew itself!
Good strong cuppa tea (with a splash of milk ) and some Weetabix is a more or less an ideal start to the day! 👍
They recently started opening Trader Joe's here in Minnesota, I have yet to make my way to one as the closest is likr 45 minutes away. I have only heard great things though.
I've heard Cooper's is where it's at from most of the Aussies that my wife works with. It's good stuff, can get most varieties from Beverages & More! out here. 👍
Yeah Coopers is a popular beer here, especially here in South Australia where the brewery is. Silly Victorians (like Casio) likes that Victorian Bitter (VB) garbage, but as far as I know no one within Australia drinks this "Fosters" we see on TV.
Though I am not a very good beer critic considering I don't drink it.
