It’s designed that way on purpose. Cereal manufacturers are some of the most egregious abusers of hyperpalatable foods.

Cereal is the most delicious thing in the universe that doesn’t require anything more than pouring two things into a bowl. No peeling, heating, mixing, blending, layering, etc. Two things, in a bowl, and you don’t use goes back in the place it came from.

Ooh, I like that, “hyperpalatable”.
“Egregious” is also good, but I knew that one.

So, like pancakes? Or jam on toast?

Until one day, when you’re eating soup and innocently toss in some croutons, only to realize that what you’re eating is essentially cereal: savory edition, which you find so inexplicably disgusting that you can’t even stomach the thought of regular cereal for a depressing amount of time

I think that with enough sauce, chicken alfredo becomes a soup. Where do I fit on the chart?
wuffah@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
That would be ramen Alfredo, so you’re not quite a soup anarchist, but that’s probably for the best.

Who is out there saying soup had to be vegetarian, or that croutons make soup not soup? Half of the chart is a waste of potential controversy

Or embrace savory cereal and put cheese, sour cream and hot sauce into oatmeal. Trust me.

That only happens if you reverse your arbitrary categorisations and let them dictate your feelings about things, instead of realising that categorisations are a) arbitrary and b) can be refined.
Cereal has to, at least, involve a cereal like rice or oats or whatever as the main ingredient.
alaphic@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
You mean, like… Corn?!?!
Vegetable soup (with corn) has entered the chat
And my point stands.
Also, you and your strict interpretation of ‘cereal’ have room to talk right after lecturing me about arbitrary categorizations… Sounds like someone needs to take their own advice, eh? 😋🙃

It’s the best when you’re baked too. It really helps with the dry mouth

I usually eat it dry with a glass of oat milk on the side.

Excuse me, you can pour crack and pop rocks into a bowl.

Depends which cereal we’re talkjng about. I’ve watching those ‘lets make lucky charms / something with chocolate’ videos and they’re basically making a complicated soup, solidifying it, and cutting it up into tiny pieces, just to make a basic soup of milk afterwards.
The weirdest thing to me was realising zalot of cereals already contain milk. Actual liquid milk, that is, baked in.

That bowl was a little big for me, I’ll just drain the milk back into the jug and put these soggy bits back in the box.

That money went nowhere near any kids with flies in their eyes. The government got their cut though, and then used food as a weapon, literally as bait to capture rebels who were then abused

Kids in Africa also don’t like soggy cereal?

If you use a funnel to pour the cereal into the jug, you can have a swig of soggy bits on demand!

I’ve seen a few people attempt to open a “cereal milk” restaurant, where you can order CocoPuff milk, Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk, Fruity Pebbles milk, etc.
The few I’ve seen have flamed out pretty fast, which is predictable for an idea that was obviously cooked up by a couple of rich college kids while passing the bong, and then convincing their wealthy fathers into coughing up the starting costs.
