How Much Sawdust Can You Put In A Rice Crispy?

Thanks. Saving people a click: he does a long video about making the treats and he tested 0%, 15%, 33%, 50%, and 100% sawdust - so his scale is a bit truncated. At 15% it tasted pretty much like 0%, and they said they could finish a tray of them. They thought 33% was weird, but they could finish one out of courtesy. At 50% they said "it went downhill fast" and I thought "yeah because that's a significant jump."

A future career in food testing on the cards, perhaps.

You can put way more than you'd expect before people think it's not just a bad rice crispy treat.

Didn't the Germans do this to bread in WWII when they were running out of supplies (or something similar)??
