Man branded ‘cereal killer’ after adding cheap brand to girlfriend’s breakfast

A man has been branded a “cereal killer” after he revealed that he has been “secretly” topping up his girlfriend’s Coco Pops with a cheaper version.

The man explained how his girlfriend insists on going for a branded version of Coco Pops which he believes is highly expensive.

He wrote on the social media forum, Reddit: “My girlfriend insists on buying the branded version of everything, even though I think there’s little difference most of the time.

“Our Coco Pops spend was ridiculous (had its own column in our monthly budget), so I knew that something had to change.”

The man began secretly topping up her Coco Pops with a cheaper version.

He wrote: “Over the course of 5 months I’ve been topping up her genuine Coco Pops box with the cheap Aldi equivalent.

“On the first month I started with a ratio of 80 percent genuine coco pops to 20 percent fake. I’ve slowly tapered down, so that the product I’m supplying to her is 5 percent legit, cut with 95 percent Aldi.

“She started complaining about Kelloggs ‘ruining the old recipe‘, at 40 percent real. But she wasn’t annoyed enough to change cereal, so I pressed on.

“I’m wondering what other products I can swap out. Possibly tea bags or toilet paper.”

The episode has left the social media users giggling with most of them branding him as “cereal killer”.

One user said: “Don’t come crying to us when she murders you in your sleep and you wake up in Hell. You made your bed.”

Another said: “We have a cereal killer on our hands.”

A third user said: “Local man found dead buried in Aldi coco puffs.”
