Id be surprised it it was actually INSIDE the the weetabix from the start.

Why?

That'd be the obvious place for it to be, it'll have fallen into the mix, then squished inside when it was formed into bricks.

Don't know about you but when i'm making breakfast in the morning I don't tend to inspect my cereal before chucking it in a bowl and slapping on some milk. Not to mention I'm usually half asleep, making a brew, and thinking about what stuff I need to take with me today.

Quite easy to miss something you don't expect to be in there.

I've had it before where I've had a big chunk of cardboard inside of a sandwich.

This is yet another reason why cereal is crap for breakfast.

Absoloutly fuming about this because it's just lucky it was me eating it, and not my 18 month old boy. There is a very good chance he would have swallowed the plaster and, well, I don't even want to think about that.

And well, what? He'd have...you know, swallowed the plaster.

Gross, but bound to happen once in a while. Write and complain and get some free stuff.

Suprised it got past the metal detectors and magnets. Unless it wasn't a very good factory it was made in.

I agree most cereals are not that good but weetabix (but taste like crap to me) is actually quite good for you.

Low fat, low sugar (high in other carbs), high in fibre and protein.

Are plasters all that metallic or magnetic?

knobs

Most people don't know this but the chances of getting infected during a single episode of unprotected vaginal sex is not very high. It is only around 1 in 500 which is not too bad really.

I am not saying to go out and have unprotected sex with HIV/Aids sufferers but the risk is no all that high even if you do.

Doctors and get tested for AIDs.

That's really not a bad idea. No doubt you'll be fine but it's best to double check.

Then do the complaining thing.

I had a gallon of non-brand pre-diluted squash which made my pooh turn blue when I lived in Florida. Called the company and they offered me $100 worth of their products.........uh, no thanks. Not sure if that helps you, but it's good to share.

Plasters that are made specifcally for the catering industry / pharmaceutical industry etc - i.e, blue ones, have a thin metal strip in them so that they can be found with a metal detector.

Droolinggimp · 4 Oct 2011 at 09:32

Blue plasters are used in food environments as they are easier to detect by sight. Most brands of blue plasters have a small metal strip of some sort in the padding part and are detectable by metal detectors and/or magnets as already mentioned. You have to use them to cover earrings, finger rings and cuts/scratches etc.

They are not the best at sticking either. A slight drop of water will make them come off.

GravyMonster · 4 Oct 2011 at 09:35
