    Weetabix packets gggrrrr

    When will the manufacturers of Weetabix come up with a packaging design that is more user friendly? I dont know if its just me but I cannot open a packet without getting it all over the worktop, every time I have it for breakfast I try really hard not to spill ant but I think it is impossible. Am I alone in this?

    No, you're not alone. I've just had to sweep the kitchen floor because of all the 'weetabix dust'

    Good thinking!!

    I hate any 'dust' in packets, it always makes a lump of gunk in the bowl when you get to the bottom. You would think a big company like that would have someone that can come up with a anti dust thingy-ma-jigga

    BMI Information:
    I think years ago probably Tupperware bought out a box to store it in, but imagine the mess taking it out of the packets to get it into the funny shape box, cant have worked or they would still sell them. Suppose a big square plastic container might work because at least once they are in you could just lift 2 out without leaving any mess.

    And yet the packaging on the organic ones is great. Maybe we should all lobby Weetabix!

    i think having them in separate packaging like 2 per plastic thing wouldnt be that much extra packaging and means they would last longer as well.
