Sourdough mentioned Shredded Wheat and I assume he's talking of the BIG biscuits jobbies. I liked the things really, just a little sugar and milk. However my grandmother had to mess with them all the time. She'd heat the things up in the oven or scald them with boiling water, making a soggy mass, and THEN put the milk on. Geeziz....it was awful. Anybody else do that stuff?

And Peter----Are "Shreddies" Shredded Wheat?

I got to thinking about the most fun toys in cereal and outside of the subs and divers, Post used to put balsa gliders in some cereals and they were just great. Just like the ones you'd buy. I bought a couple of the things a couple years ago and they have really gone downhill!!! Complete junk. The ones years ago and even the ones in Post boxes were great flyers, well made, and they'd really last!
