Re: Cheerios are little red sausages WAS new member, lots of Qs

Posted June 7, 2005 · June 7, 2005

In New Zealand, cheerios are little sausages with red skins, about 2 " long.

They are often served as finger foods on toothpicks, with a bowl of tomato

sauce (ketchup in US speak). Or you can have saveloys, which are the same

but sausage sized. They're both more like hot dog consistency. Maybe softer

than hot dogs, but fimer than sausages.

Never seen cheerios served with milk, so I guess your cheerios are biscuits

(cookies in US speak) of some kind?

Tas, another one for your list. Are you still around, haven't seen you for a

while?

Cheers, deb

My memories of mom are cheerios & milk (Carnation Instant Low Fat Milk at

that,) so I try (hard!) to remember other things I can love her for :-)

Hi-larious! Here Cheerios are a kind of breakfast cereal. They're made

usually of oats and are little o-shaped bits. They're not very sweet

and I actually have fond memories of eating them as a kid myself.

Because everything is on the Internets: http://www.cheerios.com/

Cheerios here in the US are ghastly little doughy circles of baked gluten

and additives. About a quarter inch in diameter, they are supposed to be

confined to breakfast in the form of cereal but are ubiquitous. The

obnoxious circles are entirely too cute. I hate them.

What's worse is their marketing ... cute little books like " don't eat Pete! " .

***** No, not everything is on the internet. There were no pictures of NZ

cheerios! Well, one picture of the packet only..... But I did find this menu

for a kids party, if anyone wants a cringe

a.. Hot chips

a.. Cheerios

a.. Kiddy Sandwich & Cheeseballs - puffed snacks, with cheese flavouring

a.. Fairy Bread & Lollies - if you don't know what fairy bread is, it's

white bread, buttered (or maybe margarined, gulp) and sprinkled with

" hundreds and thousands " - which are whats sprinkled on top of the pink

biscuits in this link

http://www.griffins.co.nz/Biscuits/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?id=739

a.. Soft Drink (soda) or Cordial (artifical fruit " flavoured " juice

substitute)

a.. Ice-cream & Jelly

Not to mention that they are loaded with trans fats !

And to think how many kids all over the country are gulping tons of it every

morning.

I guess they (and their parents) get carried away by all the cute pictures on

the boxes

and never read the labels.

A cheerios label reads like a horror story in nutrition !

I distinctly remember reading hydrogenated vegetable oil on the box of cheerios.

I don't have one at home to verify, but I will check the next time I am at a

store, and

report back.

That would be interesting. The list that I posted is from their website.

Wouldn't it be something if their box said something else?

You may have been looking at a box of flavored (Honey Nut or other) Cheerios.

I'm positive that plain Cheerios has no hydrogenated oils.

I wonder if the cheerios outside the US are different? I just went

searching and a site came up from the UK that said the Cheerios there

have 3% transfats per bowl. The box looked very different from the US

Cheerios boxes. Every other type of Cheerios (multi-grain, apple

cinnamon, etc) do contained hydrogenated oil - mostly soybean.

There may be a difference between the Cheerios that is sold in the US and the

one sold in

Canada (where I live).

It looks exactly the same - box and everything.

I was particularly shocked because it had the familiar Canadian Heart

Association label

on it (similar to the American Heart Association), claiming that eating several

servings

of cheerios a day would keep you heart-healthy.

It was claimed as being a no cholesterol food !

I will report back later.

Yeah, that's possible - I don't remember which flavour it was.

Isn't that even more shocking because kids are likely to choose the flavoured

one rather

than the unflavoured one?

They're all over. In a salvage food store, I once saw a box labelled

in Icelandic.
