Coffee Flavored Breakfast Cereal
Musrum writes "Hubbards, the New Zealand based makers of fine breakfast cereals, have launched 'Cafe au Lait', which they describe as "light coffee flavored flakes". This is great, just the thing for Xmas morning, wonderful coffee flavour, not too sweet. What took them so long? The packaging meets all known requirements for political correctness. Brain Health Warning: Do NOT read the enclosed 'Clipboard' newsletter unless you are inured against extreme examples of twee-ness."

I don't know what will be more lame: this story or the fact that Taco will dupe it in 45 minutes..
Trolling is a art,
First shower with the ThinkGeek ShowerShock then sit down to a nice bowl of Coffee cereal.
Had too much to drink the night before? No problem! Use kahlua instead of milk! It goes GREAT with coffee! You're a geek remember ? Multitask! Get your coffee and the hair of the dog at the same time. Plus the alcohol would act as a nice downer to counteract all that caffeine.
Yeah, I noticed this the other day when I was slaving away serving customers. I was so tired it was all I could do not to just open the box and start eating right then and there at the checkout. This is the food geeks have been waiting for! Now we have caffeine in all forms, drink, cereal, even tablets!
What happens if you eat ten bowls of them?
And he's started having 9 bowls a day.
This'll go nicely with my other morning staples, near-beer and nicotine-less cigarettes.
Might as well have stale-beer-and-cold-pizza-flavored marmalade for breakfast.
Isn't someone sort of missing the point?

I distinctly remember buying a box of Cappucino-flavored All-Bran for my wife when we were honeymooning in Cancun. It was... well, about as tasty as All-Bran gets.
Is not the questions about caffeine content...
Is not the questions about black coffee vs. white coffee...
Is not the questions about why this hasn't been done before...
No the saddest thing is why is this on the Slashdot main section...... Money.
Try NetBSD... safe,straightforward,useful.
Doesn't everyone eat their Cheerios in out of their coffee cup anyway? Surely I'm not the only one
You are NOT alone!
I eat mine out of this
And don't call me Shirley.......Leslie Nielson
Not exactly on topic, but speaking of combining coffee with unrelated items, you gotta love caffeinated soap!
Because seriously, some of the geeks I know need more showers, instead of more food...

Bleh, this is boring. Coffee flavoured flakes.
sounds soft and soggy, like cornflakes 10 ms after the milk has seen it.
What we need is something gritty and tough like grapenuts. How about coffee nuggets? Just expresso roast coffee beans, pour em in a bowl and add 1/2 & 1/2. Crunchy, filling and will perk you right up if it doesn't give you a heart attack first.

Ok. I've got my caffeine cereal and my caffeine mints. I've got some nicotine water and Cocaine playing on the stereo. I'm wearing a hemp shirt and the corner shop will sell me an icecream called Ecstacy. When it all ends in a headache I'll score some Herron (Pharmaceuticals Panadol).
I think we need a war on brandnames.
Looks like someone's server needs a jolt of caffiene.
So rise up, all ye lost ones, as one, we'll claw the clouds.
I was rather holding out for Penguin Peppermint cornflakes myself, but I'll take coffeed flakes :)

I think it's great that it's not just news for nerds anymore, and that we have true lifestyle/diet/nutritional stories, like this one.

Coffee flavored breakfast cereal? WHAT. THE. FUCK. TACO?

Coffee-flavored cereal might taste interesting to people who like coffee. How about smokers?
You don't quite understand how much your stuff can be permeated by smoke while living with a smoker until you move in with someone who has never smoked. My mom was a heaver smoker, and I lived with her through college. Now on my own, I moved in with a friend who happened to come from a smoke-free household. I brought a bunch of my stuff with me, including a bucket of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. One morning, my friend sniffed around and asked, "What are those? Nicotine flakes?!?"
Wow, I took another bite and gave it a good taste, and sure enough, I understood what he smelled. Living with a smoker for so long, you just get used to it.
I then had a wonderfully evil thought... what if the tobacco companies latched onto the concept of nicotine flakes?

Dude, I'm confused. Are you supposed to use it to cover up when you're smoking potpourri?
Just use a White Russian cocktail (1 part vodka, 1 part Kahlua, ~3 parts milk) instead of milk. That's what The Dude would do.
"This is crazy, you realise we could all go to jail for this?" - my manager, somewhere I used to work.
Do you use milk or creamer with this cereal?
Thank God. GrapeNuts and Coffee usually get me going in the morning. But now that I can have coffee cereal with coffee, I'll be sure to blowup the office bathroom at least an hour earlier.
...or something like that.
Hopefully they'll make a version of coffee cereal with chocolate or marshmallow laxatives. The prize inside of the box could be some sort of promotional Texas neck-tie with hobbits on it

Coffee flavored breakfast cereal takes too long... gimme some of that breakfast cereal flavored coffee instead, I'm in a hurry!

American English spellings are less prevalent world-wide than are the of British flavour spellings. Americans, despite anything shrub might tell you, are not the final word on everything.
The potato it is uninformed.
This is uncanny.
.. took a spoonful of poffeeridge and ate it.. and it is SO UNBELIEVABLY DISGUSTING that I'm about to go throw it out into the garden and get some (plain) cornflakes instead. :(
I was just making a bowl of porridge/oatmeal for breakfast and I thought I'd mix in a spoonful of coffee as a caffeine hit for experiments' sake.
I brought the bowl back to the computer (slob, yeah I know), sat down to read Slashdot as my morning news whilst eating.. saw this article. Looked at my cereal.
Unless .nz doesn't require the listing of our favorite stimulant, there is no evidence of caffeine being in there. Unless of course it's next to the lark's vomit and MSG.
This sig no verb.
Can we not even have a discussion of coffee-flavored breakfast cereal without anti-American/anti-Bush sentiment?!
I'm sure we could. But since we are having a discussion about coffee flavoured breakfast cereal that has clearly proven impossible. :p
The things they can do with chemicals now days...scary...but cool.
You should see what they could do with LSD in the 70s.

I'm with you. Lucky Charms is decaf too, y'know; I could sprinkle folgers crystals on it if I wanted it to taste like coffee but not give me a buzz.

Sorry, but I've always meant to ask: what is a 'heaping spoon'? It sounds like something you might use to rearrange compost or scrap...
OTOH, if it's what we here call a heaped spoon(ful), then do you use it when making a packing lunch? Maybe with some boiling egg and chopping liver sandwiches, washed down with some nice icing tea? Or maybe a toasting sandwich topped with grating cheese?
(Or maybe I'd be better off in a padding cell...)
