Yes. However I don't think it would sell too well as "K".

Special K is surprisingly high in sugar.  A couple of days ago I tried one of those 'liquid breakfast' things - not Ski Up and Go but Aldi's version.  Quite nice until I read the label afterwards - over 400 calories!!!

Nothing like a good old fashioned bowl of porridge for breakfast, fills you up for longer than the high sugar cereals

Oh GC, surely you know these things are always laden with sugar and calories?

Oh Smurfy of course I do but it was Low Fat!!!  And whilst agreeing that porridge makes a healthy, sustaining breakfast, it's not quite so convenient to eat in the car on the way to work.  (Not while I'm driving I might add!).

And talking of Special K, does anyone (Oldspice?, Minty?) remember the 'Inch War' and that woman on the box with the tape measure belt?  I think you could actually send for one of those belts if you collected lots of tokens.

Wasn't the 'inch  war' launched by Ryvita? I remember  those belts! Iwouldn't dare wear one!

Somehow one of those belts wouldn't look so effective with the '32' displayed proudly in the buckle!


You've got me wondering now Oldspice - I'm sure you're right about Ryvita.  Did they both promote the Inch War or have I got confused (again!).  Over to you B-K
