Do you put cereal in before or after putting in milk?

[Rart]

For me, after milk. It is clearly superior that way. You refill yourself with more cereal as many times as you want. Much better.

That makes so much sense. Refill as you need instead of putting it all in at once, that way it doesn't become soggy before you reach the end.

[cinephilia]

cereal stay crunchy longer when you put it after the milk.

[Mr. Mulder]

cereal isn't food, its machine made preservative/carb/sugar loaded shit.

porridge for the win, milk goes in after, obviousment.

[benchez' mum]

I thought you had to mix the milk and porridge before putting it in the bowl. :blink:

You're absofuckinglutely right.

No it doesn't, that's just nonsensical.

[IdolEyes787]

Considering that either way it's immersed for the same amount of time I'd tend to agree .

[charliebitme]

Why would you eat cereals? Either it's like eating smashed cookies with milk or smashed, old crisp bread with milk depending on how "healthy" your cereals are.

Thank god for ryebread and coffe!:P

Nub. Sooooooo innocent. You have not been taught well. It is far far surperior after. When you pour it on top, the milk goes ALL OVER IT, soggying it up. And its weird cause most people put all they're going to eat first, and then it gets soggy as the finish it.

Tesco speaks the truth.

[IdolEyes787]

So if I take a shower I will get soggier than if I take a bath.That's good to know next time I need to get really wet.:unsure:

No, it would be like:

You put your entire body in the bathtub, then pour water until the tub is filled then take a bath.

Versus

Fill the tub with water, wash your foot, take it out, wash your arm, take it out, ect. ect. It doesn't work too well but the metaphor doesn't fit :dry:

A better one is:

Get into a tub that's already filled with water, versus getting into one that's empty and then having water dumped onto you until it's finished.
The first your hair and upper half would be dry, but in the second you're completely wet.

I see how your trying to apply that to the cereal saying that only the bottom half of it is wet so it gets soggy slower but that's wrong because the majority of the cereal is fully submerged anyway. ;) It really doesn't matter whether you put it in before or after the milk. The only thing that matters is how much goes in / how quickly you eat it.


I can't believe i'm taking this thread so seriously. 6109

[Rart]

Haha I guess your kinda right. I think the main point is that most people people I know think they should dump in all the cereal they're planning to eat, then start pouring in milk. <---- Fail. :-P

This is the lounge, anything goes. Take it as seriously as you want!

[sez]

I'd prefer putting milk in the cereal box.

[Biggles]

This is crazy talk. The milk is lubricant for the cereal. Do you pour oil into a tub and throw the engine parts in afterwards?

What if you have too few cereal flake left and have over milked? What if you when you fill the bowl with cereal you realise you have under-milked?

Milk second is the only logical solution.....

Of course you could go to the fridge and realise you are out of milk and have to eat toast and marmalade instead.

[swizZ8]

What about cereals with beer?

As ever Les sees the way.

Porridge in the micro? unholy, it must be prepared on the stove top

[LaPistola]

Cereal before milk for me aswell.

[Recursacro]

One must first put the cereal in, then pour the milk accordingly. There should be a tablespoon of milk for every 10 flakes. (for something like Frosted Flakes, or Fruity Pebbles) If there are larger individual pieces, one must take this into consideration:

Using Statistical Estimation, we find that A = how many table spoons of milk we need per morsel.

X = Size_Of_Dish; (Diameter in inches) ~ It should be volume, I know... It's flawed. :(

N is something too...

Anyway, I put the milk in last... It always works out. Just an acquired talent?

EDIT: The biggest flaw is pouring the cereal, then realizing that there is no milk. Egg sandwich time!

[Barbarossa]

Cereal then milk.
I never really thought about doing it any other way, tbh :blink:

[GamesoulMaster]

I too like my cereal soaked in milk. Cereal is much tastier when it's soaked in milk, and putting the cereal in first is the best way to ensure that happens.

But sometimes... I like my cereal to be coated in milk, but not soggy (like with shredded wheat). But in that case, I just eat a little faster. Still cereal first.

It's like my way of having *some* kind of "normal" in my life... :D

Yeah you have to get the cereal somewhat soft before eating. :)

cereal first or else you don't know how much milk to put in

[Rart]

I could say the same for the other. If you don't put the milk in first, you won't know how much you want to eat. (You can pour cereal more than once)

I always put cereal before the milk, just a habit that I've developed these couple of years.
