No, Kellogg's! Not the Ricicles!

If you like to start your day with something teeth-shatteringly sweet, we have some VERY bad news for you...

Kellogg's have just AXED Ricicles cereal in the UK.

Shocking, we know!

The seriously harsh move is part of Kellogg's aim to cut sugar in their breakfast cereals. As part of the campaign, Coco Pops, Rice Krispies, and Rice Krispies Multi-Grain Shapes will all have their sugar content reduced by 20 - 40%.

3. Gravy

Unsurprisingly, gravy also scored pretty highly on the roast dinner essentials... although apparently more and more Brits are putting ketchup on their roasts. Shocking!

For those who are keen to get their five-a-day, brocolli is a must-have on their Sunday lunch plate.

Although peas aren't traditional roast dinner fare, they were the third most popular with veg among Brits polled.

2. Meat

Of course, it wouldn't be a roast without the meat (or nut roast for all the vegies and vegans out there!). And when it comes to roast meats, chicken still reigns supreme.

5. Yorkshire pudding

Despite the fact that Yorkshire puddings are only traditionally served with roast beef, 75% of Brits said they think Yorkies go with ANY roast meat. We couldn't agree more!

10. Brussels sprouts

And there we were thinking no one really like Brussels sprouts! How wrong we were!

Talking about the upcoming changes, Oli Morton - Kellogg's UK managing director - told Radio 5 Live's Wake Up To Money podcast: "Consumers are asking for a healthier way to start the day".

However despite his optimism that this is what customers want, the news that Ricicles will soon be extinct didn't go down too well on social media...

Some people felt persecuted by the sugar police...

While others were sad to lose the taste of their childhood...

And some just wanted to take a moment to recognise that we were losing a truly unique snack...

Although, as ever, comedian and presenter Richard Osman saw the funny side, tweeting...
