Could backfire...

An Adelaide woman who survived for nine days in New Zealand bushland, eating just Weetbix and muesli bars, wants to remain anonymous.

The woman, aged in her 20s, was trying to cross a track on rugged land owned by Canadian singer Shania Twain near Wanaka in the south island.

She got tired and scared, so she sat in a hut for nine days until another bushwalker arrived to raise the alarm.

Phillip Melchior from New Zealand's volunteer search and rescue organisation LandSAR says the woman does not want to speak publicly about her ordeal.

Mr Melchior does not know if people from Weetbix have been in touch with the woman, but says he would not be surprised if she was offered a contract.

- ABC.

This could backfire terribly on the company; imagine the headlines:

Woman survives for nine days despite having only Weet-Bix to eat!

BTW if you are feeling up to it, try to eat a dry Weet-Bix in under a minute. No cheating: no water.
