Has Post Shredded Wheat Spoon Size been discontinued? I have been unable to find it for several months.

What did they do to shredded wheat spoon size? I think it used to be made by Nabisco and now it's Post. It sure isn't as good as it used to be. I will probably end up throwing away a full new box after eating only just one bowl.

By wondering

I would like to learn how it is made! First shredding? Or first the biscuit, then shredding?

Spoon Size Shredded Wheat is my favorite cereal. I have not found it in grocery stores in the last couple of weeks. Why not?

By ken

To correct you, it was Nabisco who first made the Shredded Wheat products, NOT Post.
