Weird question re cereal boxes!

[amy56]

Hi all,

Sorry in advance for a weird question!

We are currently building our own kitchen and DH is about to put shelves in our larder, but I want a shelf tall enough for a family size box of cereal (the really large ones that you can get for cornflakes/Rice Krispies etc), but typically we haven’t got one that I can measure right now and googling has proved unsuccessful - I wonder why? Hahaha!

I used to have to put large boxes on their sides in the old larder and I want to avoid that this time if I can!

As I say sorry for the bizarre question!

I’ve just measured a 1kg box of cornflakes, and 700g box of rice crispies and they are both 35cm tall 😊

The other one that rips my knitting wall cupboards that aren’t deep enough for modern dinner plates my good plates are fine but they are old my new cheap new every day using plates are enormous we are actually using the side plates apart from steak night DH and DS like. tBone I eat fillet or sirloin or a full roAst dinner on a Sunday
When did plates get so big

I agree - thankfully our plates do fit in the cupboard - but only just. Having said that our roast dinner often spills off the side of the plate! 😂

I have taken to decanting cereal into Tupperware boxes as they never fitted in my pathetically small cupboards, but I did read somewhere (probably here) there is a way to unfold them to reduce their height a lot...?

Our cupboard use to be able to take a 750g box of Frosties but in the last year they increased the box height and reduced its depth, very angry as they use to fit !

height of 750g box of Frosties is 34 cm
