I have become deeply vexed by a most important issue these past few days, and urge you to help me resolve my dilemma. In your honest opinions, what is the correct number of weetabix in one serving?

2 if its the morning for breakfast and 3 if you are having it for lunch or dinner :D

Nope but just sometimes you don't feel like cooking or you aren't in the form for a big meal..:o

Here's an experiment:
Put 39 weetabix in a bucket with, oh, say 2 litres of milk.
Slosh it about a bit, and leave it go semi-solid.
Now, try and push it through 23feet of flexible tubing. You'll find things won't budge.

That's why 6 should be any normal person's limit.

I'm not sure there was much of a topic in the first place, but from the enquiries I've made there seems to be a fairly even split between people who have two and those who correctly have three. I fear a Treaty/Saipan style split may soon develop. Curse those two-er's, and the rogue biscuits they leave behind.

2 should be enough for one sitting for a man or woman. It's fairly filling and any more than that and it starts to taste a bit cardboardy.

I rarely have weetabix, but if I did, I'd have 3;).

i once saw a man with a dose of munchies resort to dipping weetabix into a jar of ragu and gnawing on the end of it like it was KFC, while clutching the jar of ragu protectively for fear he would have to share his prize..................and yes, he was a student.

Reckon 2's enough to start the day!Coming up to exams in college when we were particularly poor it wasn't uncommon to try to eat weetabix for lunch by buying a pint of milk and pouring some of it slowly onto the top of an upright weetabik (if that's the singular). The weetabik would soak up the milk and you could then eat it a a sort of dry bar-like snack. A pint of milk would do about 15 weetabix, so you would need a large group of people to make this practicle.

Weetabix? You wus... try eating 3 Shredded Wheat ! :D

3 Shredded Wheat is nothin really. Shreaded wheat can be lovely and if your in the mood only four will do. Not a big weetabix fan but would be a 3er...

i wish to dispute that ......... strongly. sugar is a must on that sh1t. sugar is, in my opinion, all that seperates it from animal food.

Please good people, I am in haste. Do not trivialise such a serious debate with meaningless waffle about the presence of sweeteners. We need to strike a decisive blow against the heresy of dualism, and ensure the trinity of 'bix reigns supreme.

You would have to be quite, quite poor indeed...:D :D

Yep, a 3-er here as well, though sugar is required to differentiate the glorious biscuits of wheat from milky sawdust..:cool:

And all these years here's me thinking it was Jim Figgerty:D

"Many over the age of 25 will remember the famous TV ads where Faker Baker tried to get his hands on the recipe for Jacob's Fig Rolls. The company also ran a teaser campaign looking for Jim Figgerty - the one man who knew the secret baking process" (Dublin Forums.com)

I remember that advert - Janey, it had the whole country gripped to the series of adverts - of course, this was in RTE's early days when people were transfixed by the test card.:D

That's right CTP - a kinda whitish one and he also wore a Sherlock Holmes type cap/hat as far as I can remember. Can't remember Faker Baker though but, then again, I can't remember what direction to take getting out of bed each day.
