The idea of drinking someone else's cereal milk makes me quite squeamish
Yes. I'm 30. I do this, it's not weird, and anyone who says otherwise is a poser.
I'm 46 and I do this.
We have a routine going: I get the last piece of cereal from the bowl and hold it on my spoon while I drink the milk from the bowl. Then I give that piece of cereal to the dog, and then it’s time for his walk.
Tangentially related: Where I grew up (Eastern European country in the communist era), the staple appetiser for dinner was chicken broth with noodles. I loved noodles as a kid os I would always want to eat them last. So, I would always first eat all the broth (although with a spoon rather than drinking it straight from the bowl) pushing the noodles aside, draining all the broth from them to spoon it up, and then eat the noodles. Even now, when I go to Asian restaurants and order some form of noodle soup, I eat it in a similar way.
But cereal, no. Every spoonful has to contain a balanced proportion of cereal and milk.
I actually hate the milk left in the cereal bowl, it's so interesting to hear people enjoy it, but I do it because my parents would scream at me if I ever left a crumb of food (we were quite poor to be fair).
I only drink the milk from the cereal bowl. I don't bother with the eating part. Thing is, I only do this in the street before I start the getting dressed phase of my commute to work, right after my morning curb squat. I've never heard of this eating cereal "in private". But after reading all the rest of these replies, I'm starting to wonder if I'm the weird one.
If there's milk left over, you put too much in.
I just add a little more cereal to soak it up.
Pretty close - when eating cereal the correct method is to eat all the cereal and then refill with a slightly smaller amount of cereal, eat that, and repeat one or two more times until there's no milk or cereal left.
This is the most psychotic take I've ever seen on cereal. It's a recipe for making cereal a 1,000 calorie breakfast if the cereal in question isn't super absorbent
That's alright though, breakfast should be at least 40% of your daily caloric intake.
Do you feel weird in the strip club?
Enjoy things. Don't not enjoy things for social reasons, unless you're a pedophile.
Putting liquid on your cereal was your first mistake :P :)
I know that's an un-popular opinion. The two times I ever had cereal with milk, I puked. Possibly for unrelated reasons, but never did that again after the second time.
