I really have to have a bowl of Wheaties for breakfast every day. If guests come visit, we make nice breakfasts with eggs, bacon, bagels, coffee cake, etc., and I eat my Wheaties. I'm not completely inflexible. Maybe as many as ten days a year I'll eat something other than Wheaties for breakfast, but I miss my Wheaties on those days.
Wheaties are expensive, so when they go on sale, I clean off the shelf in the store. At any given time, I have between 6-15 boxes of Weaties on deck on a shelf in the basement. I eat them fast enough that they never go bad.
I don't care for all the sports stars on the cover of the boxes. I feel that they jack up the price of the Wheaties. If Wheaties came in a plain orange box, with no picture, I bet they could chop the price in half. I'd like that.
