I was converted to milk first by a kid i was watching. It’s better for keeping your cereal harder for longer. If you’re a fan of mushy cereal then go milk second so everything gets wet. But if you’re a fan of the last bite still being crispy then milk first is the way.

There are actually people in the world who put milk in the bowl before the cereal? Why? I’m genuinely curious at the rationale behind it!

If you didn’t want soggy cereal, why bother with the milk in the first place?
UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Sometimes I do just grab a cup and eat my cereal dry. Then I dont Even have to use my hands, just pour it in my mouth.
Someone’s I want some milk though

They want more of the protein and fat from the milk as opposed to the sugar and carbs from the cereal.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 7 months ago
How does that effect the order they go into the bowl though? They would still end up with the same amount of milk and cereal wouldn’t they?
nifty@lemmy.world 7 months ago
IME experience, adding in milk before the cereal fools you into thinking your bowl is fuller, so you add less cereal.
RustyNova@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Most people that put milk first actually warm up the milk in the microwave rather than put it on the stove or something like that. I personally do it because it saves on dishes
As for me, I have another reason. When you run out of cereals, do you put more in another bowl, then transfer the milk in? Obviously not, you just add it on top of the milk, which is the same thing as putting milk first Also, putting hot milk on the cereals sometimes makes them all soggy and I rather have them stay crips
I really don’t see how this debate is so heated over which step to start the cycle of cereals eating lol.

Who the fuck eats cereal with hot milk?!
Crackhappy@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This dude saw the meme and went “I can top that”.
RustyNova@lemmy.world 7 months ago
YOU DON’T EAT CEREAL WITH WARM MILK!? That’s genuinely the first time I hear that people eat cereal with cold milk. I tried it once, and it felt soulless.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I have never in my life met anyone who put hot milk on breakfast cereal lol are you maybe taking about like porridge or cream of wheat? Those are technically kinds of cereal

People who live in places with cold winters?

Hot milk with cereal?!?!!?! 🤢🤢🤢🤮

Makes you put less cereal if you already filled with milk, so you eat less tasty garbage.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You could just measure how much you’re putting in. Like just put a cup of cereal and then as much milk as you want.
Ultimately anyone can eat their cereal however they want, but adding milk first doesn’t actually “make” you do anything lol
tubaruco@lemm.ee 7 months ago
if it makes them think they already put more cereal than they atually did, it’s completely fine to do. also you wont have to clean up a cup afterwards.
and whats the difference between putting milk before or after anyways? i dont like cereal so im really curious as to why people care
cley_faye@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It skips the “measure” part, since the bowl itself is of fixed size. But as you said, anyone’s free to spend their time however they want.
lowleveldata@programming.dev 7 months ago
That way you can dip and eat the cereal. I hate fully soaked cereal.
CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I, OCCASIONALLY, am one of those people. And to me it makes PERFECT sense.
Most cereal, cereal then milk, hands down.
But what if I want a super crunchy bite of something like frosted flakes, or honey bunches, the entire time I’m eating it?

Why not just leave the milk in the bottle and drink it direct
activ8r@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
This is what confuses me. No one is making these people work so hard. Just have a bowl of dry cereal and a glass of milk.
