Eating a Nutritious Breakfast Is Very Important to the Daleks
If this 1977 commercial for the British cereal Wheetabix is to be believed, the Daleks apparently love eating breakfast. Perhaps the rough texture of the wheat biscuits in the cereal explains their raspy voices. Maybe their irritability is a result of a high fiber diet that causes them to constantly need to visit the loo. How they manage to eat the stuff with no arms or discernable mouth is another matter entirely. This is all very confusing, and it leads one to believe that the Dalek race might be a lot happier if they took some proactive steps to get their gluten allergies under control.
