It's "Don't get locked in a Time War. It's really crap!"

I'm just trying to figure out why anyone - let alone Dalek - would want to ingest something named "Wheetabix". What - was "FibreFeces" or "SquirtiBombs" already taken?
British food - a contradiction.

Well, it is quite a tasty cereal, at least in my opinion.

Its not every day you see a commercial for a family food product that features genocidal maniacs screaming EXTERMINATE! It was a real shit week, but thanks to this video and booze, it will be a better weekend.

Screw you Yankee boy at least we don't have to cover everything in sugar & lard at breakfast time to get it down our throats.

Ahem... English breakfast anyone? British food is no more or less healthy than American food, so we can dispense with the vitriol. I also seem to recall seeing Frosted Flakes in the UK, so don't pretend you guys don't eat that stuff.

Damn, I feel really old now.
I remember this when it happened, the amount of swapping that went on to get the full set of Stand Ups was ridiculous.
Weetabix for you US Based souls are nearly inedible unless soaked in milk, they would suck all the moisture out of you mouth if you tried to eat them dry. These days they are being marketed as a Healthy Breakfast along with their Oat brothers 'Oatibix'.

Weetabix used hockey players in their Canadian advertising and never gave out cool prizes. I think UK kids win.

Anyone who makes fun of british food can go fuck themselves. Wheetabix are awesome. Crunchie bars are awesome. Yorkshire pudding is awesome. Prawn flavored crisps are awesome. Real fish and chips with mushy peas is awesome. Horlix is awesome. I could go on and on.

That kid is a great actor, he really looks like he's so scared at the end that he shit the Wheatabix out whole.

Weetabix was also mentioned in the episode of Buffy where Spike is living with Giles (there's an FFF for you). There's an exchange something like:
Spike: We're out of Weetabix.
Giles: That's because you ate it all!

Daleks have good taste. I love Weetabix. Although you do have to perfect your timing when pouring the milk on and eating it, so that it's edible but not totally soggy.
I don't get why people are confused by the name "Weetabix" though... It's just short for wheat biscuits. Which is what they are!

The most deppressing thing about this is that Weetabix no longer has any freebies. If I have to eat these things for the good of my health I want to at least have the "either too soggy or too dry-i-ness" made better by something free to play with.

Continuing on, shortly after that Ad campaign the company decided to rebrand the image a little by creating mascots for Weetabix, they were a gang of Weetabix shaped Skinheads.
I'm not kidding you either (There's some other UK dwellers here who were around in the early 80's who should be able to back me up).

Yep, I remember them! Here's one from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV3E2SJ4B7U
The "OK!" line turned into something of a catchphrase if I remember rightly...

Given it's Tom Baker era, might the Daleks have been gunning for his jelly babies? Much easier for an amorphous Kaled to ingest, you'd think...
