Weetabix

The world's finest breakfast cereal, originating in the United Kingdom, Weetabix is available in many places in the United States but is a little hard to find in your typical supermarket. It is like the Nabisco Shredded Wheat product, but with the wheat flaked rather than "shredded," yielding a greater propensity to get soggy very quickly in milk. (This is neither a bug nor a design flaw; it's a feature.)

The flaked wheat is pressed into oblong blocks about 1.5"x3"x0.5" (perhaps 4cm x 7.5cm x 1.5cm) that give it the distinct appearance of particle board. [link]
