    Arn't they just! They're really hard work to eat aswell, just seem to be chomping on them for ages!

    They taste like wet cardboard.

    Not that I have ever tasted wet cardboard. But it is what I feel wet cardboard should taste like if I were to ever taste wet cardboard.

    :grump:

    i thought they were much the same tbh, except slightly more gloopy.
    L liked them though. Guess good for people with wheat intolerance or something who miss weetabix.

    Would they be better with hot milk?

    I thought about trying this, but then decided I might as well stick to porridge.

    i think oatibix is marketed as one of the non-sugar filled cereals though tbh, so comparing it to cocoa pops is like saying "you dont like carrots - try marshmallow fudge instead".

    I quite like them and prefer tham to weetabix. (which is probably alot to do with the fact that oatibix was all I had for breakfast for about a month or so)
