I eat my cereal straight from the box. Dry. Adding milk just makes cereal soggy and flavorless. Everybody wants crunchy cereal, but nobody wants to STOP ADDING THE THING THAT MAKES IT SOGGY!!!

I’ve never understood why people add milk. It’s awful, and it ruins the cereal. Somehow I’M the asshole for adding milk??? Yeah, ok…

    This is a time sensitive equation. Dry cereal is too crunchy. Cereal which has been sitting in milk a while is too soggy. You’re supposed to eat it immediately after adding milk, when the cereal is partially softened but still mostly crunchy.

    And you don’t need to drown it in milk like it’s a soup, the best ratio requires you to stir the cereal a few times to evenly wet it. If the milk comes more than about halfway up the cereal, you’ve overdone it

      Disagree on the ratio, if you eat like I do it’s never gonna get soggy and then you also get a nice amount of flavored milk too
