Breakfast serves are not big enough.
Single sachets of porridge are a handy breakfast to keep at work so that if I go straight to work from a swim or something I can eat brekky at my desk. Convenient and a bit fancy. But my normal breakfast is a bowl 2/3 or more full of oats and other dense low GI things, and these fancy porridge sachets are only about a quarter of a cup of quick oats with some dried apple and powdered flavouring. THAT IS NOT A MEAL! It's like having a small fries for dinner. Not a meal! Even worse at breakfast because it's the most omportant meal of the day. I just made up that word Omportant. It means all important. And cereal sellers KNOW they are mocking me, because in the ads they have big full bowls of hearty steaming porridge and similar big amounts of Just Right and multiple Weet Bix. But when they sell me a single serve it is like starvation rations. Arrgh. rage.

i'm afraid it's the whole tiny bowl and tiny hands trick on the ads...
ReplyDeletei did porridge for a year at work, i kept a squeeze bottle of honey and a jar of sultanas there too to make it a bit more filling.
Shouldn't it be omniportant? If for no other reason than omportant looks like a typo.
ReplyDeleteGood points all. Heather you are possibly correct on both counts. Omportant has a nice sound though.
