Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?

SPIED BUT DID NOT BUY, today in Sainsburys. The reason? I still have a whole box of Weetabix and Chocolate Weetabix in the house, but when they're done THESE ARE GETTING MUNCHED.
I await your review like a kid on Christmas eve.
I sense them being a crushing disappointment if I'm honest. Like the chocolate flavoured ReadyBrek, or 'Spooky Sugar Puffs' (the toffee apple attempt), I fear they are going to be a triumph of idea over substance...
Until your recommendation, I'll stick with my mound of sugar and warm milk, with the odd weetabix chucked in.

The weirdest thing is that, the products that seek to combine two of your favourite things are NEVER as good as when you combine them yourself from separate components.
Nobody else noticed this? Brownie ice cream is never as good as a brownie and some ice cream. Cheddar on biscuits is amazing, but Chedds are merely mediocre. Something to do with self-crafting!!

You'll need to give into temptation very soon. In less than 3 weeks they'll be gone forever!
Sidenote: SPIED TODAY, DID NOT BUY:
Otherwise known as the SULTAN OF CEREAL. The ZEUS OF BREAKFASTS.
The reason? I would end up eating the whole box in one go, and one bowl is nutritionally sugarier and fattier than cake. BUT OH GOD, WILLPOWER TESTED TO THE MAX.

Oh my favourite cereal! A box only gives me around 3.5 servings

Hahaha, considering you're meant to get 10 servings out of a standard 500g box and it's one of the single most unhealthy (but absurdelicious) things on the PLANET, beating out even eating fudge cake for breakfast at 290 kcals for only 50g, if you're eating a third of a box at a time (with milk) that is one epic 1000kcal breakfast...
I salute.

Sorry to perpetuate the topic-tangent but I just had to post this - depending on whether or not the portion size was reasonable, believe it or not pancakes and nutella are actually quite a bit healthier than eating, say, a big bowl of Crunchy Nut Clusters/Bites/Krave etc!
Cereal is delicious and PURE EVIL.

Ok, how about this?
Each pancake is about 160 calories each, the Nutella...I have no idea, but a fair bit!
I guess I could just have one pancake to keep the calories reasonable!
(I realise how fat this is making me sound. I'm a healthy weight, I promise, ha!)

Indeed, don't forget the milk!
And suffice to say, I have more than a spoon of it. I have many spoons of Nutella on my pancakes.

Day off tomorrow, sugar coma time!

I woke up late, got there and there was very slim pickings - no sugar coma for al 
Spied, and DID BUY!!
In Sainsburys today I noticed this chocolate orange spread and choco coconut spread, and purchased the latter. I love Bounty/Mounds, and no joke - this is like BOUNTY ON TOAST. If you like coconut, GET SOME. Far more impressed than by their popping candy spread which was novel but a bit rubbish.
