Free FIBRE!

Freebie FIBRE PLUS bar

What a lovely delightful cereal bar treat! Thank you nice distributor outside a mainline train station - I'll take 10! Mmmm yum yum, 10 cereal bars for breakfast. Sounds about right...

Hang on...

"ulp".


ITEM! The "plus" in FIBRE plus appears to be pretty much: chocolate, sugars, oils, glucose fructose "cocoa liquor"?? A fibre cocktail!

ITEM! New Users? OF FIBRE? Kelloggs, what do you think our diets are LIKE?

ITEM! This was actually quite nice, but of course it would be, it is chocolate and sugar and oats. And free. I suspect that there's not much less fibre in my McVities chocolate digestive that I appeared to eat immediately after I ate the cereal bar.

PS - here is the latest from Gwynneth Paltrow's GOOP newsletter, regarding home cooking. It starts, "As a home cook, one of the best things I’ve ever done was to build a wood burning oven in the back yard". Huh! My recommendation is to hit the Hut. Good old GP!

Ooh, I've got one of these in my desk drawer (Fibre Plus, not a wood burning oven) but slightly fearful of eating it at work now.

"ensure to drink"? What odd phrasing.

I now have a strong urge to make chocolate cornflake cakes.
