I don’t suffer from constipation much. Still, I thought a bit of extra fibre in my diet wouldn’t be a bad thing. A friend of mine said he sprinkles all-bran on some of his other food as an easy way to get that bit of extra fibre.

‘That’s a good idea’, I thought. I’ll start sprinkling all-bran on everything! I started putting it on my cereal, in my peanut butter sammiches, and even in chicken soup. It works for most things I sprinkle it on, but not all. It blows off the car as soon as I pull out of my driveway, and I don’t even want to tell you the trouble I’ve had trying to comb my hair.
