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.

Now we know where New Zealand's Bruce Simpson has hidden his cruise missle!
Free your ecomony and enact the FairTax
I don't know what will be more lame: this story or the fact that Taco will dupe it in 45 minutes..

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!
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.

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

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.

I dunno, but you'd have to eat a hundred bowls to equal the amount of caffeine in new Total Espresso Flakes.
Hey freaks: now you're ju
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.
I'm definitely looking forward to hearing that Tampax have released an update to Tampax 4.5, or about the latest advances in bath salts.
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?
Marlboro Flakes - curiously addictive cereal.

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.

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