The single citation doesn't use the lemma, and the link appears to be broken. The best I could find is a direct reference to the Sanitarium ad, [http://books.google.com.au/books?id=o6OZAAAAIAAJ&q=%22have|has|had+his|her|their+Weet-Bix%22+-intitle:%22%22+-inauthor:%22%22&dq=%22have|has|had+his|her|their+Weet-Bix%22+-intitle:%22%22+-inauthor:%22%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jf56T6e4AvGNiAfX4IiHAw&redir_esc=y here]. — [[User:Pingku|Pingku]]<sup><i>[[User talk:Pingku|dimmi]]</i></sup> 14:07, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

:I can find cites for the UK/Irish version, to have had one's Weetabix (same product, very slightly different brand names), would they do? (Going to post here in the meantime, rather than putting in the article).

:::Excellent stuff from Finn. He's definitely '''had his Weetabix today''': steaming in once again.

:That said, I wouldn't object to the page being moved to "have had one's Weet-Bix" / "have had one's Weetabix". The today part doesn't seem to be vital - it's often replaced with "this morning"/"that morning"/"yesterday" or simply skipped altogether.
