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…
Hey you’re right that is unpopular.
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

I pour myself a glass of milk on the side and take a swig for every spoonful of dry cereal I put in my mouth.
Yes that’s the engineering-oriented solution, I don’t really eat cereals anymore but I apply similar methods to other things as well.
I use yogurt, or if I’m feeling particularly decadent, Vanilla Ice cream.
I want soggy cereal. What should I do?
…reevaluate your life choices?
It’s the same with Cesar salad. Make it the day before and eat the soggy leaves. Nothing beats a wet crouton
I thought the same when I was using 2% milk. Whole milk rocked my world. It still makes it soggy, but I just see it as a challenge.
I grew up drinking 2%, switched to whole as an adult, will never go back.
Agree. No milk in my cereal either!
There three of us should start a club
And my axe!
I agree. It prevents accidents. This one is still in arbitration…
You monster. 😋
I disagree.
It’s the cereal ruining the milk.
I’ve never understood why people add milk
Because it tastes better with milk. Raw cereal is pure sugar most of the time, milk makes it at least bearable. Also many cereals are really dry
It tastes like soggy despair.
You’re eating your food too slow.
Both the milk and the cereal immediately taste disgusting once they intermingle.
Not sure it’s possible to inhale it in the fractional seconds it would take to prevent any wetting from occurring.
welp there’s a reason this opinion was posted in this community. You’re in good company with OP.
No, it’s everyone else who is wrong.
Never had Captain Crunch, I see

Or granola.
Eat it with marshmallow cream. Not too wet and not too dry.
