Bugs in Weetabix

Uncle Charlie

Has anyone had the misfortune to find bugs in their Weetabix ?

Its happened to me more than once this is why I no longer eat Weetabix.

You will find bugs in flour called weevils if you leave the flour there long enough. The eggs were always there. You just consumed the flour before they hatched . I love cheese but I also know it's covered in mites seen under a microscope.
Long story short you will always consume bugs with your food, you just happened to see them.

It looks like a beetle of some sort. I'd have my doubts that those weekabix were from a freshly opened package.

Doubt it. Weevils are tiny compared to those things.

We call them insects.

This came up recently in conversation at home. I can't get it out of my head now!! Apparently putting the packet of flour in the freezer for a few days kills anything off so you just have to put it in an airtight container afterwards.

Yeah I saw it regularly when I lived in an Asian country and once found a mini cockroach in a curry noodle soup .

I haven't saw the weetabix thing here yet.

Earwigs twice. Decades ago though.

If an adult eats Weetabix it's likely they're a pedo with small hands.
It's a fact, look it up.

It's the lesser of two weevils.

(many years ago, while abroad, the missus and I encountered weevils in a newly opened bag of Alpen - not a nice experience!)

Are these new superbugs that can survive a foil bag?
