Alternative Uses for Inedible Grape Nuts

For those of you not following my series of Facebook updates, I asked my hubby to pick up some Grape Nuts on a recent grocery trip. For some reason, I thought Grape Nuts consisted of sweetened granola, raisins, nuts etc.


Not so much.


You should know, for your own protection, that Grape Nuts do not include anything besides rounded balls of fiber. I am in therapy recovering as we speak.


Since then, people have been advising that I can make Grape Nuts taste good by adding honey, sugar, raisins and so forth but this sounds suspiciously like a plan that could also make cardboard taste good.


Sorry, peeps. Not buying it.


Instead, I gave away my slighty eaten box of Grape Nuts to the first loving home. (See picture of contest winner with prize: Baby not included)


I am now working on a list of alternative uses for Grape Nuts, in order to help people everywhere puzzling over what to do with half-eaten boxes of Grape Nuts in their cupboards. Please feel free to add your own uses.

Alternative uses for Grape Nuts (other than eating them, which is NOT recommended):


1.Pellets to feed zoo animals
2. Styrofoam packing peanuts
3. Confetti
4. Sidewalk salt
5. Bead necklace
6. Shingles for gingerbread house (important: that you do NOT intend to eat)
7. Spitballs
8. Intruder alert system (crunch, crunch, crunch…)
9. Potted dirt for fake plants
10. Rattly stuff for inside of maraca
