Title: Cereals concern
Post by: pscocoa on 26 July 2011, 17:00:03
Why is the amount of residue and dross at the bottom of cereal packets increasing - surely it cannot be to increase their profits. Weighed residue - 10% of pack of Special K was unuseable - more research required - but is definitely getting worse

Arghhh. Are you my mother in law?? That is exactly what she says. The 10% left overs feed the hens - keeps 'em regular too. ;D ;D ;D

we have no hens - all the s**t landing on the good stuff in the bowl is a major issue - forget all that is going on in the world - Kelloggs rely on us thinking that way to get away with it - a letter will be sent and vouchers will be received!! Could retire on the £3.

I remember the days when the only thing you found at the bottom of a cereal packet was some sort of eagerly awaited toy.......Ah, the good old days ;D
