Being hypoglycemic, I’m always on the look out for foods without excessive sugar. The cereal aisle at the grocery store is always a challenge, as most breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar. The good news is that over the years there have been many more “organic” cereals coming on the market which are sweetened with more complex sugars rather than corn syrup. The bad news is that these are often more expensive then regular cereal.
Recently I discovered that Fiber One is sweetened with Aspartame, so I decided to give it a try. What I discovered, besides a reasonably priced, good tasting cereal that doesn’t upset my blood sugar, is a genius idea in packaging. Instead of putting the cereal into one big bag, they’ve divided it into two packages within the box. I don’t eat cereal every day, but when I’m in the mood for some I want it not to be stale. This solves that problem simply. While some may consider this excessive packaging, I’ve seen worse.
This packaging may just be necessary because the cereal is more prone to going stale than others, or absorbing moisture out of the air. I don’t know, but I can’t think of any good reason why other cereals, especially the jumbo boxes, couldn’t be packaged this way.
UPDATE – The antithesis of excessive packaging.
