I think I have invented a new position here at BMEWS.  An Anger Desk. Yeah. That’s me ok.

 

1. You drink Nescafe? With all the loverly coffees available on that island??? Well, I guess sometimes seconds count and you can’t wait to brew up a pot, even with one of those speedy French Press things.

   I haven’t trusted Nestle since they renamed Nestle’s Quick as Nesquik. It’s not the same product that it once was.

2. Its funny really. Back in the 1920s when these cereals were first introduced people were rather lukewarm to them as they were bland. Then as competition increased for this type of thing vendors started adding sugar and salt to improve the taste and sales started going higher every year. And now they are by caviat forcing bland back on the buying public which I have no doubt will reduce those brands back to 3rd class status as desireable brands.And considering how damn spendy these things are per box ( ever read the unit cost of dry cereal,its nuts) I have no problem ignoring them as I shuffle down the aisle to the donuts and muffins section.Which Im sure will be next on the food nazi list but thats how it goes in the land of Orwell.

3. That’s fine.  Screw with my breakfast cereals, and I’ll just start going down to the local diner, and getting my big nasty breakfast on, with ham, and sausage, and bacon, and home fries with onion, and as much salt as I want.

   Thing is, lose me as a customer of your product, and you’ll never likely get me back, so mess with your recipe to satisfy the fringe whiners at your peril.

4. Rich - cereal costs more than steak. Save money, have a ribeye for breakfast.

5. I thought Mr Kellog started off as a health freak, England (at least) is doomed as the sheeple have no ability to perform informed judgements at all, as I can read the box I can see how much salt is there, come co canada if you want salt (and sugar) with everything, slowly reducing the “bad” ingredients is intelligent, somthing no sane person would accuse the government of.
