When it comes to breakfast, I usually have Weetabix, and more recently Ready Brek. But now I'm eating Shredded Wheat for breakfast. Whilst shopping in Tesco's the other day I bought a packet of Nestle Shredded Wheat for £1.47. For that price you will be getting 18 biscuits.
PACKAGING
~~~~~~~~~~
The large box is yellow with a deeper yellow heart in the middle with the Shredded Wheat name on the front in red lettering. The top of the box is green with the nutritional information in it.
On the back of the box is information about the 100% whole grain wheat cereal. There is a bit of information at the top about this cereal from Dr. Clare Chapman, a Nestle Nutritionist. On the bottom of the box in small writing they tell you:-

Advantages: Something a bit different Disadvantages: When too soggy, avoid
So, having got the day off work, I've taken it upon myself to come up with a couple of new reviews to keep the 'fans' happy! First off...breakfast time.
Now, I'm hardly a connoisseur when it comes to breakfast cereal, and it was heartbreaking to find out when I originally wrote this article on DooYoo, that my cereal of choice, Ricicles, didn't have a product page. Ciao does, so expect one on that very soon...but anyway, back to the matter in hand, here's a review on the much forgotten Raisin Wheat.
Made by Kellogg's, (who else?!) inbetween it's workers only doing half days on Friday (inclusion of a current affairs topic - bonus marks) they also came up with this little number. The cereal is made from shredded wholegrain wheat, with each individual parcel filled with a raisin centre. Bigger that your average cereal piece (if such ...
