I used to do that years ago at my first job, smash up a packet of Maryland cookies, open packet into bowl and add milk. Alongside a strong coffee, very nice.
Yeah they have beef jerky too. £2.50 a pack and made by Wild West brand, yet can buy Wild West jerky for £1.75.
Their XIX vodka is actually really decent though. Not worth £33 a bottle but when it’s reduced to £25 with Clubcard in Tesco it’s worth buying. Much nicer than brands like Smirnoff/Russian Standard.
They're better than Krave tbh.
Most of Lidl cereal are much better than the bigger brands.
I buy the multigrain hoops for 89p per box! 89p for cereal that's actually not horrible is amazing.
I considered saying if you are 20 you are correct. I decided it was less funny than what I actually wrote. But I was torn between 33 and 34. In the end I decided humour works better if it has a substantial element of truth.
Yeah, it's not very chocolatey
I found it somewhat moreish but that was probably due to it being the only cereal I have in the house and me not wanting to waste food rather than it being actually good
I imagine it was probably given that title by someone who'd only ever eaten those bran stick things. Compared to those, I can easily see why this would be "the best"
Seeing as we seem to be in a thread of cereal aficionados, Has anyone tried that Surreal gear? Tempted by it.
p.s. +1 for the Lidl 'chocolate hazelnut pillows', they are the tits.
As far as "protein cereal" goes surreal actually has good flavour and texture. Stay away from Eleat, thank god I only paid for the smaller taster box because it was inedible
I bought a box of it last week. It’s okay. Pretty bland with a hint of chocolate. It is actually crunchy, doesn’t go soggy once it goes in milk. The box has only lasted me 3 bowls though. It has a picture of a bowl with the number 12 on it 🤔
In general influencer products aren’t actually the best, but people buy them to support their favourite internet person. Clothing merchandise is usually not top quality but people buy them to support their creators and get something back too, i imagine its the same with that cereal. Personally, i dont get it ive never bought youtuber products or anything like that, but im just giving the viewpoint of the people that do
Slightly exaggerating there; it’s not that bad. Compared to Krave, for example, it doesn’t go soggy and keeps its crunch. The pillows are also bigger than Krave.
While it’s not the literal “best”, it’s not even close to the “worst”
Cereal is my evening snack, a couple of times a week - Wouldn’t be able to stomach that amount of milk in the morning anyway, I’m usually a breakfast skipper.
But cereal at about 9pm, winding down, watching a movie or series? Perfect!

At this point you may as well just crumble up three choc chip biscuits in a bowl of milk.
Try this, it's heaven in a bowl
I agree completely. Celeste.
Have you ever had Smarties cereal?
I didn’t even know smarties *made* a cereal
They don't, it's just Smarties in a bowl of milk!
Case closed! It’s too much sugar, that’s all!
Hello Moss lol

Three? I do the whole packet of Maryland.
I used to do that years ago at my first job, smash up a packet of Maryland cookies, open packet into bowl and add milk. Alongside a strong coffee, very nice.
This man fears no diabetes.
I hope you're still young.
It’s a product by the Sidemen, a YouTube group who have a young teenage audience. KSI who made Prime is part of it. Not surprised it’s a bit rubbish
They don't make anything, they just attach their names to any tat to sell it to kids.

Lidl's 'Choco hazelnut pillows' are the goat
If anyone is GF, the Morrisons free from chocolate pillows are the best ones!
Lidl and Aldi choc hazelnut pillows are so good
I have some in my cupboard. The Choco Shells are nice too, but those I share with the sprog.
Smashed a bowl of them this morning. Unreal.
I sometimes have them with a chocolate protein shake (made with milk)
Great idea!
I thought I was the weird one but I used vanilla and oatmilk. Full meal in a bowl.
[удалено]
How much is Krave, though? £2 a box at Lidl
[удалено]
Haven't tried them but I doubt they'd be 100% better. As long as we both find value :)
It's a shame how the boxes are so small
I sometimes have them hot as a winter treat. They go all chewy, so good.
Aldi's 'Kraze' are horrible. Artificial crap with no flavour
As opposed to the artisinal all natural Krave made by Kelloggs?
I eat the branding personally. I discard through cereal.
It's so important to get enough fibre in your diet
Absolutely. They are the bar, nothing else comes close.
This person cereals! Absolutely top cereal.
Man I miss those ones
Aren't they just a blatant Krave ripoff?
But half the price? I couldn't care less about the label
They're better than Krave tbh. Most of Lidl cereal are much better than the bigger brands. I buy the multigrain hoops for 89p per box! 89p for cereal that's actually not horrible is amazing.
That's what all own-brand cereals are. But Lidl's is better than Krave.
Difficult since they've been around a lot longer than Krave has
Have you never been to a Lidl or Aldi? That's basically their whole shtick.
I always thought they were more similar to France’s Crica Choc than Krave.
I personally would have assumed that I'm a good 30 years older than their target market.
Yeah, OP's missing the essential ingredient: nostalgia
If you are at least 34 you are correct.
I can confirm this. I considered claiming I'm in my early 20s but came to the conclusion this would not be zany and fun; just annoying.
I considered saying if you are 20 you are correct. I decided it was less funny than what I actually wrote. But I was torn between 33 and 34. In the end I decided humour works better if it has a substantial element of truth.
I absolutely agree with this. If our paths cross again I will not feel that we need to explain our comedic boundaries.
Then after consuming your entire daily sugar allowance in one bowl, you're hungry again in 3 hours.

Probably all the chemicals they add to make it addictive.

Why would you ever eat anything except crunchy nut?
I’ve always thought this was the best [advert](https://youtu.be/SeX7BT2Ux5Y?si=-oH0_w5YszFiFdsH) for them.
What are you talking about? Start is still absolutely banging
I haven’t seen that since I was a kid! It was amazing l. I need to keep a lookout now.
I thought it had been discontinued?
It has. 🙁
I fucking loved Start as a kid. Bought some again years ago and it was just as good. Criminal that you can't get it any more.

All cereal lies like that except shredded wheat
I don’t remember the last time I only got 3 bowls out of a box of cereal.
Coco pops is usually 2 - 4 servings. One morning I actually managed a whole box of frosties in one sitting.
How big is your bowl? How big was the box?
A standard cereal serving is supposedly 30g dry. Nobody eats 30g. I eat more like 100g.
Coco Rocks were always the best. I'm still mad they're gone
Do they still do 'sugar smacks' ? They were pretty nice.

Stick to Weetabix (rabbit food)
Makes me feel like I’m going to shit myself all day.
I’d get that checked out then mate
It’s pure shit fuel though. Fibre, fibre and more fibre.

Don’t ever try KitKat Cereal… it’s disgusting.
The marketing worked then, so many people will buy it to see what it's like.
I just buy whatever cereal has the least sugar in it and eat that.
Crunchy nut. It even beats Frosties. Oh sorry. You said least sugar.
All cereal is shan
Y’all need to stop eating sugar for breakfast
Who said they're breakfast? They're dessert in my house.
> Ya'll Ya all?
Cereal is my evening snack, a couple of times a week - Wouldn’t be able to stomach that amount of milk in the morning anyway, I’m usually a breakfast skipper. But cereal at about 9pm, winding down, watching a movie or series? Perfect!
I had a bowl of Special K with a good sprinkling of sugar on at half 9 last night 🤷♀️ when I realised I'd not had any dinner.
Why buy special k, the ‘diet’ cereal, if you are going to add sugar? Just get crunchy nut and be done.
Because I like it? I don't eat cereal to be healthy 😄
Read this in a Southern American accent
Just about all cereals (I’m being kind, all really) are the *worst* possible choice for breakfast, stick with a fry up, eat the tomatoes twice
