I dont think it was very ethical for weet-bix to launch that add saying how 'on the ball' weet-bix makes students for exams. I know it's utterly stupid, but it works on you a fair bit!

2...but my brother does 12-15 every morning. It's crazy. Wonder if it works?? I notice that the weetbix ad about the uni exams says "people who eat weetbix for breakfast will perform (insert statistic here..i forget) better than those students who don't eat breakfast at all..." So basically any breakfast would do the same job...
lol,. thats exactly wot i thought when i first saw it

I don't eat it often, but when i do i manage about 14.

Nothing to do with those ads, when i saw them i decided on principle alone i wasn't going to eat any weet bix through the exam period, shonky bastards.

people,

may i point out a certain statement made in the ad.

It states that 'those who eat weetbix for breakfast have concentration levels 30% higher than those that don't eat breakfast'

It doesn't say 30% higher than those that dont eat weetbix.

those that eat any form of healthy breakfast will have 30% higher concentration levels than those that dont eat breakfast, so dont just limit yourself to weetbix. Just make sure you eat something in the morning.

I wouldn't be able to walk into an exam with an empty stomach.. then your tummy rumbles, it kind of hurts, and you might get sleepy. :|

If you dont like the taste of Weetbix, be inventive! I like mine with banana and sugar, like you dump extra sugar on top. Or have it dry with peanut butter, or with melted cheese. Be inventive guys!

But not so much, or you might get sick.

my preferred exam brekky diet:
a bowl of kelloggs komplete + glass oj, then down a can of V on the walk to school/short time before exam..

i'll tell ya caffiene or whatever else the hell is in it does the trick. alert like a bunny on crack. :D

in the weetbix arena, i normally have 2, but in exam times id have 4. wit sugar.

ps tried milo on them the first time this morn. a little bit yum. i much rather the brown substance Only with milk, and no cruddy wheat stuff detracting from the malty choccy goodness that is milo...


mmm might go have some now..

ps milo is gooooooood
lol
