Breakfast cereal in rusk form, approxiamately 4 inches in length, and of pleasing complimentary proportions. Consumed with milk and optionally with sugar. Best consumed in the morning. Even better consumed early after a night of heavy drinking, as it is even more delicious on the way back up.

Weetabix usually have some promotion or other and now the phrase 'Weetabix Tokens' is recognised throughout Britain, and are thought (admittedly by few) to be a valid alternative to the welfare state.

On the whole Weetabix isn't a bad little runner for your actual RDA of certain vitamins and minerals. 2 Weetabix contain 32% of your RDA fr Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folic Acid, and Iron.

Disrgarding the fact that the box claims each two Weetabix contain exactly 32% of your RDA for 5 seperate compounds (why is 32% so special?) let us take an extreme example:

Alan is trapped, over the weekend, in a Weetabix warehouse (a similar thing happened in 2.4 Children, so it is possible), with no food upon him. He is now in a situation where Weetabix are his only source of sustenance. Alan must, to keep up his RDA of Nyacin et al, eat 6 and a quarter Weetabix a day.

Given the extensive advertising campaign that Weetabix has run year, upon year, every one of us knows that it is physically impossible for someone to eat more than 2 Weetabix (no time interval is given for this but I have assumed a day) Alan will be Riboflavin defficient after the weekend, he would also be quite thirsty after eating nothing but dry Weetabix.

Weetabix are the product of Weetabix Limited and contain Folic Acid.
