What to do with a full box of frosties/out of date ?

Eat them they should be ok use by dates are only a manufacturers guideline

How far out of date are they?

definitely eat them (if you like them that is) they won't have become dangerous or poisonous, the worst that will happen is they might not be as crisp as usual, & that takes quite a while past the 'best by' date to happen

enjoy

I've had a similar glut of Frosties recently - I ate half and the rest have been thrown into flapjacks - and a handful into Twinks Hobnobs! Tasted good x

two weeks out of date now, the problem is we do not eat that many cereals - i brought them on 2for1 a long time ago.

I didn't even know there was a sell by date on cereal, they will be fine for ages yet.

It won't be a sell by date, it will be a best before date - this only really indicates that the manufacturer considers they won't be quite as good after this date - usually a bit softer/stale for cereals, and maybe a sllight deterioration in the added vitamins. Highly unlikely to cause any health problems.
If they have gone stale/soft you can always spread them on a baking sheet and refresh them in a warm oven.
