How many spoon size shredded wheat does it take to make 3 of the old style biscuits size you use it buy?

Answer 1

This is a funny question to me. The "old" shredded wheats we bought when I was a child came in a box with two packages of three biscuits, and it weighed about 12 ounces. Later, as I got older, the boxes got smaller, 10 ounces then about 8 ounces, and the biscuits, as well, got smaller. Around this same time, "bite size" or "spoon-size" shredded wheats made it to the market, where we bought our food. Those spoon-sized cereal bars at the time were about the size of a soup spoon, each, about 6 equaling the larger bars, closer to 8 or 10 equaling the original large bars. Now the "spoon- sized" "mini-wheats", are about half to 1/3rd the size of the original spoon-sized wheats. This means the bars would be about 12-15 equaling the smaller 'large' biscuits or 15-20 equaling the larger 'original' sized bars I remember. Keep in mind, those I remember as a kid, 1 bar filled a cereal bowl (half a soup bowl), were probably smaller than those my parents remembered, {The later bars required 2 to fill a cereal bowl.}, and they may have remembered feeding two children with 1 bar.

Answer 2

Well, honey, if my math serves me right, it would take about 9 spoon-sized shredded wheats to make 3 of those old-school biscuit-sized ones you used to buy. But hey, who's counting when you've got a bowl of shredded wheat in front of you? Just eat 'em and enjoy!
