Why do Kiwis love Museli? What is the history? Doesn’t it come from Switzerland?

I know they love it because I saw a lot in the grocery stores and supermarkets, and because of the song “Inner City Pressure” by the Flight of the Conchords, who, of course, represent all New Zealanders.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    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).
