If you are attempting to describe insipid thought or writing, the word is "pabulum." Pabulum! NOT "pablum." "Pablum" is an old-timey breakfast cereal. And while it was bland enough for people old enough to have consumed it to remember it as insipid, its name should not be used to replace the word from which its nomenclature was presumably derived.
