Cold

I always have my Ready Brek cold (which is much faster to prepare) and can report no ill effects. Stephen B Streater 10:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chocolate release?

question for anyone who may know, what year did chocolate ready brek come out in shops in the uk?????

B-12 Illegal?

Question - Why/When did the importation of Vitamin B-12 into Australia become illegal? Does this also affect the importation of UK Marmite? Citation please.

Mascots

They've had at least two notable ones: One was a little plasticine man with big eyes called Ready Eddie, from 1986 to ????. I have a Silver Spoon and Hand Puppet of him that you had to send off for. The one after that was a Red Dragon with the slogan 'central heating for kids'. 78.144.150.65 (talk) 21:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aimed at babies and kids under 5?

I just removed the uncited reference that this product is aimed at under fives. It was unsourced and as counter-evidence I offer this advert from 1982 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVAvA6fP8Xw showing Ready Brek clearly being aimed at school-age children.

Description is missing

This article lacks what for readers who never came into contact with this product would be the most important information: What IS this?

What form does the dry product have: Is it tender oat flakes, or a powder, or crumbles (like e.g. some versions of instant coffee/ ~ 'fruit teas'/ ~sahlep); of which colour?

What fluid is it intended to be used with?

What is the prepared stuff like, in texture/consistency and taste?

As someone who does not know the thing, I can only guess, and my guess is, it might be something more or less slimey :-D – which does not have to be bad at all. I do know "normal" (obviously normal for *me* ;-) – I mean flakes made by just mechanically breaking and flattening the oat in a mill, no other processing) squeezed oat flakes and what they become e.g. thrown into (chocolate-) milk or boiled with a little water, but that doesn't tell me what this instant thing is like.

I have read on Wikipedia for example a description of a traditional Asian (relatively thin/ soupy, if I remember correctly) rice 'porridge' or -slime :-) dish, and so can picture that dish in my mind quite well without having grown up with it myself. This kind of information is what I would like to get here, too.
