What has happened to Sugar Puffs??????!!!!!!

[vernon]

I succumbed to temptation by a £1 per box promotion in Asda. The packaging looked different, scrutiny of the blurb revealed that they are no longer owned by Quaker foods. Internet research indicates that they are made at the same factory but they are not the same

They don't have the same degree of glazing that I recall from the past
They are not as sweet as I recall
They lack the taste impact that they used to have

and tellingly.......

They don't make your urine smell afterwards.

In the interests of science and to confirm my suspicions that changes have been made I have consumed a full box of Sugar Puffs over the past four days to have second third and fourth opinions.

All opinions were consistent: SugarPuffs are not as nice and they no longer have side effects.

I'll not be buying them again

Asparagus is the best to make your pee smell Vern but probably not with sugar and milk.

They're a bit sweet and sickly first thing in the morning. If the sickly sweetness has been turned down maybe that's a good thing?

Same comment applies to Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

the non smelling urine part is a bonus surely

No. It confirms that I have not been eating real Sugar Puffs.

There's no easy way to break this to you, vernon, but Sugar Puffs have always been rubbish - it's just that you didn't notice when you were younger. A bit like Rentaghost.

My first post asparagus pee was startling and initially worrying as it took a while to make the connection.

But post asparagus pee aroma is small beer compared with post Jerusalem artichoke consumption flatulence.

I witnessed my extremely prim and proper mother in law inch towards the stairs and ascend them heading for the toilet an hour or so after consuming artichoke soup with each step accompanied by a squeak, trumpet or percussive fart.

Cry? I nearly died choking back the laughs.

I was on a nostalgia trip.

It seems like the older I get the better they were.

I suspect the source of Vernon's complaint is to be found here:
http://www.nhs.uk/news/2012/02February/Pages/breakfast-cereals-still-too-high-in-sugar.aspx

and here:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/h...sider-banning-Frosties-says-Andy-Burnham.html

Both of those articles mention SugarPuffs.
