Interesting that you find them different. I haven't had full-sized since I was a little kid. What difference do you notice?

Shreddies Ingredients​

Whole grain wheat, Sugars (sugar, barley malt extract), Salt, BHT added to preserve freshness

Shredded Wheat Original is made with just one single ingredient: Whole Grain Wheat. Simple. It's high in fibre, and with no added sugar or salt.

There’s something about the texture difference too that I don’t care for.

Hmmm.... I looked up Shreddies. It seems to be a Canadian version of Post's Wheat Chex cereal, which is indeed quite different from shredded wheat.

Post's spoon-size Shredded Wheat (the unsweetened variety) contain only whole grain wheat plus BHT for freshness. Ditto Post Shredded Wheat Big Biscuit.

This is Post's spoon size shredded wheat, which is what I was referring to. Capture.JPGshr.PNG

I would try those if I were in the US. It’s surprising to see the preservative, BHT is still in American foods. It’s banned here now. Here they can only use it in the packaging.

I like these too, especially the kind filled with raspberry and coated with sugar. Not great for my body, but good for my soul. :)

@Jules, I used to eat the large kind when growing up; it was all there was for shredded wheat. I remember breaking it up and dumping sugar on it. Ah, the days of obliviously liberal use of white sugar.
 
I'm up. The litter box has been cleaned. I've had my first cup of coffee since Christmas Eve. I've had a shower and gotten dressed. Nope, bed not made...so shoot me ;). In a little while, I'm even gonna wash up a few dishes.

The sun is out, and it's colder than a banker's heart out there. 26F is cold. We might see a high temp of 48 today.

Depending on which AI you choose to believe, spring is either 67 or 69 days away.

Obviously, I'm feeling somewhat better but don't want to use up all my "somewhats" before lunch! BBL

ETA: Oops. Yeah, sure. It's all about me:rolleyes:. Sorry. I've been out of touch for so long that I haven't kept up with much of what's going on. So...@Pepper and @hawkdon, you've both been on my mind, and I hope things are improving for you. And for anybody else having a hard time, being too cold, too warm, too tired, too sick or "too" anything, things are gonna get better, I promise. Three weeks and counting, and I'm getting there. Y'all will, too.

oh so nice to see you again GOD BLESS!!!!!
 
Looking forward to a pleasant week ahead, weather-wise. It's been nearly three weeks since our temps were in the 70s so it'll be especially nice to see them again.

Today will be a this-and-that day. Most of Christmas is cleared away with the rest going bye-bye today and tomorrow. DH & I don't push ourselves on these kinds of chores. Work 2-3 hours, then move onto something else.

Yesterday my something else was organizing the garage pantry somewhat. No, the shelves don't closely resemble an upscale grocery store, but there's visible improvement. I also wrangled all vitamins, supplements and OTC medicines into a couple of clear plastic shoeboxes and moved them to low shelf in our (huge walk-in) bedroom closet. Now I can easily see what we have.

I also coralled my back stock of spices, extracts, baking powder, baking soda, etc. into the base of another plastic shoebox because they have a habit of drifting into the canned goods.

My mother, bless her soul, was a highly organized woman who loved clear plastic containers to house her stuff. When clearing her house I brought some home and have found them quite useful over the years. Despite rarely using them for what she did, I leave her labels intact because seeing her handwriting always brings me a smile. ❤️
