Jingthing Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Amazing news on the Grape Nuts front! Grape Nuts sighted at FRIENDSHIP SUPERMARKET! I am pretty sure they have never stocked this before. I guess they want to get in on the Villa Grape Nuts action. What's next? Carrefour? Tops? 7-11?

R2Quad Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Grape Nuts sighted at FRIENDSHIP SUPERMARKET!

Loosescrew Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think it's a cereal for people who have trouble with their BMs. Some BMs here appear constipated based on crankiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Grape Nuts is an American breakfast cereal, nothing to do with the fruit called grapes. You put about 100 kernels in a bowl and add cold milk. Then it takes about an hour to chew all the grains of cereal. Delicious, better than khaow paht gai.

jonniebkk Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 GNs is a nasty American breakfast cereal...don't know how anyone could acquire a taste for it Captain Crunch Berries is much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Actually it is the original breakfast cereal developed for sanatorium use and still one of the best tasting to me. Corn Flakes were invented for those unable to chew them. They used to be available in Foodland, but with frequent periods of not being stocked. If a corn flake type cereal eater you will be amazed at how much longer a package of these will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) Thanks Lopburi, you are clearly a man of good taste. The digestive properties of Grape Nuts are overstated. There are lots of other cereals with roughage. To my view, the main attractions of the Nuts are: Crunchiness Mouth Feel (crunchiness) Taste (if you like it you like it, if you don't you don't) Not sweet (many of us do not like sugary cereals, especially ADULTS) As Lopburi stated, a very little goes a long way I never talked to a supermarket manager in my life. Maybe the Friendship stocker reads Thaivisa? Hello. Now that I have your attention, you should stock the LARGER SIZE box as well, as does Villa.

barryofthailand Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Their is only two cereals that I know of that is truly whole grain and that's Post Grape nuts and Shreaded wheat. All of the otherr cereals is the same as eating cookies and cakes. Lots of sugars and fats. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groongthep Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Got to agree with jonniebkk. Eating Grape Nuts is like trying to eat a bowl of gravel. You could substitute blasting grit or kitty litter and not know the difference. Avoid like the plague! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bellini Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Mostly I buy my grapes seedless (can't be bothered spitting those pips out)... Grape seeds are supposed to be healthy. You chew and swallow them. Now, if you were to peel them I would approve. Too many poisonous chemicals sprayed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the sake of clarity, just imagine they are not Grape Nuts but rather Ape Huts. Now there is an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Traveller Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) An old friend is a dietician and helped with research for the film {who's name I can't recall} where Tony Hopkins played Kellogg. So worryingly I know that the first dry breakfast cereal was 'Granula' then Corn Flakes and then Grape Nuts. I'm now going to bed to hide because I know this frightening trivia. Regards PS I cheated and looked it up, the movie was The Road to Wellville. Edited May 23, 2008 by A_Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSixpack Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Come on Jingthing ... Admit you asked Friendship to stock themin case Villa ran out again Villa has. In fact the Grape Nuts shelf space is now re-allocated. Where's the outcry? Foodland still has the smaller boxes, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have another Grape Nuts product (O's I think) of no interest whatsoever to GN purists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotime Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Since you started the movement, and I've been able to find them, so are my bowel movements. A regular thing I mean. It's the only cereal I eat, but it's an American thing called added value. Do Captain Crunch Berries help with your regularity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Update on this. Friendship was carrying Grape Nuts for quite some time, but recently no Grape Nuts there! I don't think it is only a shipping problem as there is no empty space for them on the cereal shelf. The horror, the horror ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oevna Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Eating Grape Nuts is like trying to eat a bowl of gravel. LOL... just add some milk and let it sit for a couple minutes before eating. They will soften up and are easier to chew. If you do this, they tend to soak up quite a bit of milk, so you may need to top it off again. I LOVE Grape Nuts. My father has eaten it for breakfast since as long as I can remember, and I guess I just developed a taste for it over the years. Very healthy, and delicious! As Jingthing said, it is not sweet at all, so if you are in the Frosted Flakes camp, it might not be for you. To each his own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
