Once they're stale, I'm out lol! The broken bits are good as croutons but never stale ones.Our mom used to heat up stale crackers and cereal in the oven to “crisp them up.” To me and my brothers they still tasted stale. But no food in our house ever got thrown out, and she wouldn’t buy more crackers or cereal until we finished what we had.
The stale cereal was our fault anyway. We’d dig through the boxes of cereal to find the prizes at the bottom of the boxes, then lose interest in the cereal.
I haven't seen prizes in a cereal box for ages. I'm not even sure if that's done anymore? The last time I bought a kids cereal was last year around this time. Lucky Charms bc it was $1.99 for St Pattys. I neer let that happen, the stale crackers, chips or cereal.
I honestly think it is mostly a food storage issue when it goes bad fast. Humidity, heat, packaging can all affect how well it keeps IMHO.
