These are the top ways Brits enjoy their breakfast

How do you eat your Weetabix? Fans have had their say on whether it’s better with hot or cold milk – and the results take the biscuit.

A poll, of 2,000 consumers of the popular breakfast, have had crunch talks and the majority (72 per cent) like it with cold milk.

But 27 per cent prefer theirs with hot milk – with 43 per cent of those heating it to boiling point.

Although the makers advise the safest and tastiest way to warm the milk is to heat 150ml in a microwave in a suitable bowl for exactly 81 seconds at 800w.

The hot versus cold debate – #DebateTheBix – has taken off on social media in recent days, with a host of brands, members of the public, and celebs joining in, using #HotBix or #ColdBix to reveal their preference.

Vodafone and the Co-op are 'team hot' while the likes of innocent Drinks [corr], Iceland, Birds Eye, Aunt Bessie's, and Morrisons are 'team cold.'

Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood revealed he prefers cold milk, while Loose Women star, Linda Robson, likes her milk hot.

The stars are so passionate about the topic they took to the streets of London to quiz the public on their milk preferences.

Cold milk fan Craig said: “Of course my morning Weetabix has got to be with cold milk. It’s got crunch, it’s refreshing, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, darling – #ColdBix has got a solid 10 out of 10 from me.”
