Speaker 2 (00:04):
Man of Arms to the pub test and today cereal
for dinner? Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Kellogg CEO Gary Pilmick in America has suggested that you
can beat the cost of living crisis by having cereal
for dinner.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Some of the things that we're doing is first messaging.
We got to reach the consumer where they are. So
we're advertising about cereal for dinner. If you think about
the cost of cereal for a family versus what they
might otherwise do, that's going to be much more affordable.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
You know, they should make a cereal that is more
dinner flavored. So you could have lamb cereal and remember good.
Oh there was a dog food for a while. Theyre
going to come out in the pellets and then you
put hot water in it and it became like this.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Did you eat it?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
But look good?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I thought it's too good for you mongrels.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Then that's called minnestrone soup. Just have soup.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I'm not eating soup for dinner. I eat cereal for
dinner over soup for dinner.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
You just said you would never eat cereal for dinner.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Well, I'm just saying if I had the choice. If
I came to your and you said his super cereal,
I'd say give me some, give me some cocoa pops. Well,
what's more?

Speaker 3 (01:05):
When he went, okay, we've just finished crapping on, he
has kicked a hornet's net. Because a lot of people
are saying, what a ridiculous way to deal with the
nutritional issues people having and feeding their families. Give them cereal.
But forget about that bit. I think a lot of
people do have cereal for dinner. As someone said here,

(01:26):
single guys have been doing it for almost a century.
I think shift workers, people who are too tired, cereal
is a good go to for dinner.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What do you think does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
Absolutely? I was a single mom living with three children,
and I fed the kids, but I ate cereal for
dinner because it was just light and easy and it
was a sortable the time, and I did it for
nearly two years.

Speaker 6 (01:47):
Definitely, when you get home and you can't just start
cooking and you're starving, cereals, especially in souder there's nothing better,
and then we pass more milk with boitekigs for dinner.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
Definitely. If I'm at work, I've had maybe a big lunch.
I'm not really that hungry, and there's nothing better than
to have a bull of crunching up.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I have had it many times. Yeah, mainly it's because
I've worked late. And then I said, oh god, what
can I have? And I said, as yeah, polus cereal.

Speaker 8 (02:18):
If my grandson doesn't want to have dinner, he changed
his nose up to it. I head for the week
picks I had for the rice bubbles, I head for
the corn flake. Give him a ball and he's eating
it for dinner. And I'm happy that he said something
in his tummy.

Speaker 9 (02:29):
I don't definitely do it, but my dad does look
like every couple of nights. Basically, he's like any of
his leek systems because he's always got his week picks
on her, and he's always got like anything some kind
of brown going.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
With the sun, chuckling at the notion, some kind of
Every single caller said yes, so, Brendan, I just think
we'll do soup for dinner. We'll do as a pub test, not.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Open that can of worms. I'd rather have a can
of worms and soup for dinner. Thank you for all
your calls.
