Coffee Flavored Breakfast Cereal

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the make-every-morning-blessed dept.

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.

  1. Croatian Parents from Lika "Kava i Kruh" ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    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!
