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.

Croatian Parents from Lika "Kava i Kruh" ...

Kava i Kruh = Coffee and Bread. The traditional breakfast of my mothers village in Croatia.

Man I grew up on turkish coffee poured into warmed milk poured over old bread. Trying to tell her that this is not normal in Australia sort of half worked. I finally persuaded her to buy corn flakes ... over which she poured the coffee & warm milk ...

That was in the 70's. My mother had the same in the 50's and her mother ...

Moral to this: It's not a new idea!

good god. does everything have to be so complex? it's simple, people:

just drink coffee.

sheesh.

of course, you should be aware of the bad side effects of everyone's favourite beverage and purchase your beans accordingly

Americans, despite anything shrub might tell you, are not the final word on everything.

Can we not even have a discussion of coffee-flavored breakfast cereal without anti-American/anti-Bush sentiment?!

The F***ing point (this was moded interesting?) i'd imagine for people on a health kick, who really miss that morning cup of joe.

There are those people who enjoy coffee
There are those who enjoy the taste but don't like being wired
There are still others who enjoy the smell, but hate the taste (not met anyone who doesn't enjoy the smell).

I'll agree that I wouldn't eat a coffee flavored breakfast cerial, simply because it just sounds really bad. I would however enjoy a nice coffee air fresh tree for my automobile to cover up the smell of my spilt lattes.
