Saybek's Theory Of September `97.

Rice Bubbles and grainy bits.

In Australia, there used to be an ad on TV concerning wholemeal bread with soft grainy bits. Many people (like those in the ad) have openly pondered how the grainy bits are made so soft. Now I can reveal the `truth'.

But first, let me start with rice bubbles, that well known breakfast cereal. Many people have also wondered how they are created. Simple answer: Atomic Explosions. Each grain of rice undergoes a carefully controlled atomic explosion inside the factory causing the grain of rice to expand. Each of these explosions take place in tiny compartments in a very big machine. Each compartment also contains 6 wholemeal bread grains which are pressed against the edges of the compartment as the rice grain expands into a bubble.

Use of the word `truth' implies author's latenight effort/foolish opinion only. No similarity to any statue or figurine is intended.
