No weight shown on the box, Donkeyman.... just 30 biscuits.

The small print shows 2 biscuits = 45gms

Biscuits look the same size as they've always been.

It is winter here and my cereal changes from Weet-bix to Shredded Wheat or porridge. Shredded Wheat is the one cereal that I only eat with hot (scalded) milk. A childhood thing!

BTW it might be a benefit of Brexit but I noticed just recently that Shredded Wheat is now "A Product of the UK" whereas until a couple of months ago it was "Made in Canada"

It must be a British thing not putting the weight on products. I have noticed that at the supermarket in the Imported Goods section the British imports like chocolate, lollies and biscuits have a little sticker on them with the weight because here it is a legal requirement.

Re: The size of weetabix

Sorry Donkeyman, only just spotted this Thread from you.

HWMO would agree with you. He always has three Weetabix in his breakfast dish, He knew immediately when they cut down on the size in weight and length of the Weetabix. It's just like everything else nowadays, keep the price the same but reduce the product size. Very unfair.

more by weight than l did when l ate three only?
Very clever!
