Before he mentioned the latest Fiber One product, Mr. Tidbit decided to check the General Mills website to see if there were others he hadn't noticed. Some time ago he had snickered about how many Fiber One products there were (how many could anyone possibly want?), but now he's not snickering; he's gasping. Here's the Fiber One product lineup, not all of which are necessarily available here:
Five flavors of Fiber One breakfast cereal; six flavors of Fiber One chewy bars; two flavors of Fiber One 90-calorie chewy bars; four flavors of Fiber One yogurt; three Fiber One muffin mixes; two Fiber One pancake mixes; four flavors of Fiber One toaster pastries; two kinds of Fiber One bread; one kind each of Fiber One bagels, Fiber One English muffins, Fiber One hot dog buns and Fiber One hamburger buns; four flavors of Fiber One ready-to-eat muffins; two flavors of Fiber One frozen muffins, and two flavors of Fiber One low-fat milkshakes.
And now: Fiber One cottage cheese, a half-cup serving of which contains 20 percent of the daily value for fiber.
Mr. Tidbit avows that the taste isn't noticeably different from that of regular cottage cheese. So if you're a person whose diet is low in fiber, and you aren't much on breakfast cereal, chewy bars, yogurt, muffins, pancakes, toaster pastries, bread, bagels, English muffins, hot dog buns, hamburger buns or milkshakes -- but you do like cottage cheese -- well, you can thank General Mills for thinking of you.
