What the hell is this sh|t? Tree bark bits?
People said it was bad, but people say that about all cereals that aren't frosted and since I don't mind bland food I bought a box last week. I poured myself a hearty bowl with some milk and brought the spoon to my mouth, expecting a flavor perhaps only slightly worse than bran flakes or a grassy flavor like Khashi. What I got was a mushy mouthful of dirt milk. After about three spoonfulls I sliced up some fresh strawberries to try and dull the foul taste. No dice. The grapenuts flavor easily overpowered the strawberries pitiful attempts at flavor restoration. The delicious strawberries were assimilated into the ground rabbit turd collective. They resembled strawberries now only on a visual level.
I consumed the entire bowl since I hate throwing food away, but it was immensely difficult. And keep in mind I eat baked potatos plain.
It says on the box that a study shows that if you you eat grapenuts in place of two meals a day you'll lose weight. No sh|t. Probably because after three days of eating grape nuts for two meals a day you stopped eating those meals altogether and started eating dryer lint or something.
I dunno what I'm going to do with that box.

I see you don't know how to eat GrapeNuts properly. It does take a little work. Here are the proper steps.
1) Poor about a cup of the cereal into a bowl.
2) Just barely moisten the cereal with milk. Enough to take the hard crunch out of them but there should NOT be a single drop of milk unabsorbed. You might want to start conservative with less milk (say 1 tsp at a time).
3) Stir.
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 to get just enough milk but none that is not absorbed.
5) If some milk is left unabsorbed, don't panic. You can add just a little more GrapeNuts and stir. When the balance is correct, there is no longer a "clink" as the hard cereal hits the bowl but there is also no milk on the bottom.
6) Add 1 heaping tablespoon of sugar. Possibly 1.5 tbsp if you really like sweets. But for the love of God, don't ever try 2 tbsp per cup of cereal!
7) Stir thoroughly so that every granule has at least one shiny sugar crystal adhered.
The resulting sugary mass is one of the world's greatest food treats (well #1 is Craklin Oat Bran right out of the box).
No way! The crunchier the better. The litmus test for GrapeNuts is if you can hear anything else around you, they're too soggy!Originally posted by: SynthDude2001

I prefer honey, but yes, they do need some sweetener. Next time, try them super crunchy with honey and sliced banana...mmm...Originally posted by: SynthDude2001

Well, I can go either way I guess, crunchy or soggy (it's actually been years since I've eaten any), but the real key is the sugar.
