>>22275694yeah i'm sure it's the weather and not because it saves them .00001 cents per box
>>22275694If Gore won in 2000 we'd still have Rice Krispies.
>>22275694>It's hot in NovemberOh you mean like EVERY OTHER FUCKING YEAR?
>>22275698Absolutely this. Was in California near Corning, and rice farmers there grow the best rice for this but Kellogg's doesn't want to buy superior grain at a higher price.
>>22275694>meaning they are no longer suitable for shoppers with a wheat allergy or coeliac diseaseThat sucks, imagine eating the cereal you've been eating for years and then one day it makes you shit yourself.
they took my fucking corn popsITS THE ONLY CEREAL IVE EVER TRULY ENJOYED EATING
>>22277667He was a bad dude man.
>>22277680Hitler could've made corn pops and I would've still snacked away at them. They took my fucking corn pops
Anyone else add sugar to rice crispies?
>>22275694Just make it out of bleached ground cockroach already.>>22276045The heat of the November cooks the rice plant>>22277804I try not to but I always break down and do it
>>22277664crohns comes out of nowhere and its seriousall of a sudden you shit blood from eating 3 cashews
>only affects Europe:)
Does rice flour not come from rice?
>>22277804If I'm eating it as actual cereal yeah, it's delicious.
>>22277667Did they reformulate them at some point? I assume when they made the switch to the plastic bag from the foil one.
>>22277667They stopped making those? I only had them a couple times in the 80s. Never much of a sugary cereal person.
>>22275694I am curious about what that tastes like, but I'm guessing that a lot of people will move on to store brand crisped rice from now on.
>>22278438>>22278433im not sure if they did, but i also realize i read 'coco' as 'corn' so my melty was unnecessary (yet)
>>22275694So will the rice come back if supply improves?
>>22278453lmao
>>22278392that happened to me once
>>22275836Yes but not for the reason you seem to be implying
>>22275694>This recent change helps us maintain consistent quality
That explanation simply doesn't make sense.Rice flour. Key word here: rice. It's made of rice. IE the flour is made of the very foodstuff they claim is unavailable. Yes, I get that they're mixing it with plain flour to cut costs but Rice Krispies are clearly not a bowl of grains of rice so they could easily add plain flour to the regular formulation since they're clearly processing the rice into flour anyway. And this seems to apply only to Britainistani RK. It doesn't look like American products are affected.>>22277431I doubt the UK Is buying Californian rice. >>22277804>>22278298>>22278432The first time I saw someone add sugar to a bowl of cereal, I was thoroughly disgusted but tried my best to not show it as I was a sleepover guest at a friend's house. That family did everything fucked up and nobody could cook. Their grilled cheese was just buttered toast with Kraft on it, no grilling or frying at all.
>>22275694Tried the new coco pops and it tastes like chewy shit. Did their qr code survey to tell them how shit it is.
>>22277664They weren't gluten free anyway because they use barley syrup. They had a gf version for a little bit but that was years ago.
>>22278612You’re an adult, holy crap. The fuck is wrong with you?
>>22278653This is a thread complaining about breakfast cereal on a site that's 18+. Who the fuck are you to talk about being childish. If you weren't you wouldn't even be here.
>>22275694>CoeliacStupid fucking Br*ts and their diphthongs. How can you invent a language and still not be able to speak or write it correctly?
>>22278653What's wrong about not being a little child like you?
>>22278392honestly I think I might be allergic to cashews, last time I had a handful I almost shit myself
>>22275698Why don't you make your own rice krispies faggot?
>>22279937?
>>22277804I don’t remember a lot of my childhood, but for some reason eating breakfast with my sister and seeing her put sugar on Rice Crispies is still super vivid to me. I own the sugar bowl now, but don’t eat Rice Crispies
>>22277804when I was a kid my dad insisted on adding a whole fucking tablespoon to his bowl and thought I was weird for not doing it. I'm pretty sure he has undiagnosed diabetes. Not type 2 though
>>22279241That's not a diphthong, moron. Simply writing two vowels next to each other doesn't make the sound in the spoken word suddenly a diphthong. Paedophile is pronounced "pēdōfīl", despite the a. Foetus is pronounced fētis, despite the o. And herb is pronounced herb because there's a fucking h in it.Stop Dunning-Krugering words you don't actually know the meanings of.
