Pickles by Brian Crane for October 15, 2022

You’re bleeding because you don’t floss.

Two words: Cap’n Crunch.

I kind of like the mini-wheats. Though I don’t eat cold cereal except VERY rarely. My typical breakfast is very small: Couple or three heaping tablespoons of plain yogurt mixed with a heaping tablespoon of Kretschmer® toated wheat germ. And a handful of pills. And a cup of hot green tea.

You’re supposed to put milk on it, then wait, it won’t be scratchy, dummy. It was my favorite when I was a kit…

A little milk time goes a long way.

Weetabix is better!!

On Zhivopisniy Bridge the Russian stood, / Chewing his beard as if it were good, / It wasn’t as good as bread, or meat, / But a darn sight better than shredded wheat!

I don’t care for the big plain pillows of shredded wheat, which I had to eat as a kid, but frosted mini wheats are palatable

When I was a little kid, I would eat Grape Nuts® because my grandfather did. Nowadays, I can’t stand the taste of milk so the only time I have cereal is when I grab a handful of Cheerios® and give half to my dog.

The Lockhorns yesterday, buying Froot Loops as the doctor said he should eat more fruit!

Does Captain Crunch count then too?

Does Captain Crunch count then too?

Coffee and Xanax, breakfast of champions!

Shredded wheat is the only cereal I have to have in hot milk. Can’t be doing with mouth bleeding.

I love shredded wheat, the big biscuits. Favorites from my childhood. Remember when they had stuff you could put together and make a circus?

I woke up at 5 and was hungry so had shredded wheat with blueberries. When I woke again at 9 my sugar was almost 300. Diabetics should avoid it, even the unsugary kind.

Gimme a big bowl of hot, buttered groat clusters! Pass the 40-weight, Porgie!

Earl should try delicious granola. It’s loaded with nutritious oats and, possibly, other good grains.

After the week you’ve had, Earl, are you sure you’re eating on time?

Shredded Wheat is healthy, unless it’s Frosted Mini-Wheats.

Give Cap’n Crunch a try then…

I have spoon-sized shredded wheat after the coffee that comes after the orange juice and vodka/champagne mix that I drink with my morning joint.

You want to talk about a breakfast cereal that makes your mouth bleed? Think about Sugar Pops.

That’s why I eat Steel Wool-Ohs. High in iron!

Thanks, Earl. First smile of the day.

Two words guys, Cap’n Crunch.

still eating shredded wheat

Once I took a few days break from low-carb to have some of my old favorites. Grape Nuts was on the list, and that bowl was heavenly! lol…

Could be worse. Could be Cream-of-Wheat. A heaping bowl of hot wallpaper paste in the morning; what could be sweeter?

Roughage is key! LOL!

I thought that was ice cream. Well, at least you never get brain freeze from shredded wheat.

I like my cereals with a little crunch, so I eat them as soon as I put the milk in. My sister leaves hers on the counter long enough that all of it is soggy. Different strokes…

All cereal ends up as sugar. May as well have one that makes you happy if you’re going to eat it.

Co-incidentally, when I was a kid, I always thought that the Shredded Wheat “Patties” looked like Brillo Pads… ☺

As carefully as I try, it’s impossible to eat a sleeve of shredded wheat without leaving some stray shreds on the counter. Every. Single. Time!

The only cereal I know of that’s like eating razor blades is Captain Crunch. After I poured milk on it, I’d put if in the refrigerator for several minutes. Even then, it was still a little crunchy.

Mom said when they were young (1930s), they had for breakfast those old-fashioned wheels of shredded wheat. First they soaked them in hot water to soften them. Sounds gross to me, although mini wheats are yummy (sans hot water).

Some of the crunchier granolas are like that, too.

Shredded wheat is great with HOT milk, butter and sugar!

I know what ya MEAN..!!!!!

I agree.

I used to enjoy ’’Weetabix’’ , but now the tummy gets upset. Something else I can’t eat.

I prefer Weetabix. But Shredded Wheat is on my list of favoured Colon Blow Cereals.

Try steel wool pads, Earl. Not only will you get the abrasive effect you want, you’ll never suffer from iron deficiency anemia again.

The first time I finally went to the hospital and found that I was having heart trouble, the nurses kept coming in and saying, “You haven’t seen a Doctor for a long while” …. finally I ask one how they knew that and the reply was “Your not taking any medication” …….. I’m finally back down to 4 morning & 4 night (from about 16 plus for awhile) ………….. :)

My hubby eats mini wheats every morning. Me I eat different as flavored oatmeal and little extra cereal no sugared.

No cereal here. Never did like cereal or milk. Two eggs, scrambled well in olive oil and fruit, usually an apple does it for me until lunch time. For variety, deviled eggs and fruit.

Some sugar coated cereals are like that.

Captain Crunch and Grapes Nuts can do that as well.

Like Captain Crunch

Earl, spoken like a true lover of Cap’n Crunch with Crunch Berries.

A lot of us grew up on shredded wheat, cornflakes, and raisin brand.

Ouch!

When Shredded Wheat was being tested, one reviewer compared it to trying to eat a whisk broom.

I like Shredded Wheat. I buy the original, large biscuit size.

I try to buy breakfast cereal with no or very little added sugar. Shredded Wheat qualifies.

There used to be many different corn flakes. Waay before my time. One of them came close to that I have heard.

Gee, thanks. Look what you’ve started ! Next it will be about bathroom problems.

This is not the clinic’s waiting room.

Grape Nuts was a tough cereal to chew on as well.
