Weet-Bix is a whole-grain wheat cereal breakfast created and manufactured in Australia and New Zealand by the Sanitarium Health Food Company. Wikipedia

If its production was ended the person who did it would be a cereal killer.

Now you know it's been a while since I had any, and you also know why I have so many editors and a proofreader.
I first saw Weetabix during a five days business visit to England in the early seventies and always regarded Weetabix as a very British product.
After reading about Weet-Bix I looked into the Wikipedia entries of both and read the history:
Weet-Bix is the Australian original, first exported to NZ, then produced there too. Next was South Africa and finally GB. The British version is based on the Australian original but 'refined'. The British Weetabix is exported to over 80 countries.
Even in my old age (nearly 75) I learn something new occasionally.
HM.
Even in my old age (nearly 75) I learn something new occasionally.
Yes, indeed. Even in my older age (80 next month), me too.
I'm a Pom by origin, I thought Weetabix was the original :-), delighted (as an Aussie by choice) to find out I was wrong.

I assume there's an "other than youn own" caveat in that question?
I rarely read ongoing series, even in deadtreeland. I sometimes read the first installment to see if it's something to finish once it's complete, but rarely read up to current releases. I wanna binge knowing the story won't leave me hanging.
The only current series I'm breaking practice for is aroslav's Team Manager series, which I plan to read volume-by-volume as they come out.
The other recent exception was DeeBee's Hidden Heritage trilogy, which I read the first two volumes of before the third started serializing. Best other-world fantasy stories I've read on SOL. I highly recommend it.

Of late I've been loving the 'Home for Horny Monsters' series, which I actually found on another site, but it's also here, giving me something to note:

Yeap that is totally epic, if desperately hard to have to wait so long between postings. His Animecon Harem is even better IMO, but the wait is even longer.
Summer Lake by Ekalise is my current fast-posting favorite. I'm surprised there isn't way more comments about it and that it scores so low :(
Agreed. Tom Frost's Too Much Love are my favorite incomplete but hopefully will be completed stories.
Too much love is a very long rags to riches wish fullfillment story. Unusual for the genre the MC is mentally flawed and makes mistakes. The supporting characters are fully formed individuals and are often more interesting than the MC.
Too Much Love:
