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.

"Flavour." That's so genteel and British-sounding . . . but it doesn't answer the only important question, dammit!
combine your morning coffee with breakfast(Which is, naturally, does it have -- and if so how much -- caffeine?)
Doesn't everyone eat their Cheerios in out of their coffee cup anyway? Surely I'm not the only one . . .

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!
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?

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.
Kava i Kruh = Coffee and Bread. The traditional breakfast of my mothers village in Croatia.
... over which she poured the coffee & warm milk ...
...
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
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!
ok my grandfather used to be a coffee farmer in jamaica so i'm an expert.
The ultimate cup of coffee recipe
Blend a nice dark Roast like Yuban with the light flavor of something like Folgers or my favorite Jamaican blue mountain.
use two filters as the slower straining process allows more flavor.
use one very very big heaping spoon for each cup.
remove the glass thingy (carraffe) and allow the coffee brew to almost fill the part of the coffee machine with the coffee grounds.
Take your mug and put it in place of the carraffe and let the liquid mana fil your cup.
add a pinch of salt, then sweeten to your preference.
put the carraffe back so everyone else can enjoy.
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.
