Comment on Why do Kiwis love Museli? What is the history?

As a Kiwi, doesn’t everyone love museli? I didn’t realize it wasn’t universal. My speculation as to why it’s popular is that, compared to other cereals, it’s considered healthier, and with the mix of nuts and fruits, is more flavourful. It’s also a cousin to scroggin, which is eaten when tramping (NZ for hiking in the bush).

I also really like Muesli, but in the US it is sort of unknown. We have Granola in most stores, which is sort of a sweetened, baked muesli, but I have to go to an international grocery store to get muesli. My parents lived in Europe so that’s how they knew about muesli.
Now I am really curious about scroggin, what is in that?
We tend to make GORP (Good ole Raisins and Peanuts) or (Granola Oatmeal Raisins and Peanuts) or whatever else you want to eat. Classic “trail mix” also has m&ms and sometimes other nuts and dried fruits11.
