Reminds me of when Kelloggs did an ad in the UK asking people share how they eat Corn Flakes on social media.
The top answer was put the Corn Flakes in a bowl and pour cold milk on top of it, big surprise.
- I eat mine while not masturbating, as God intended.
  
  Shortly after an enema, as John Harvey Kellogg intended.
  
  You know I very rarely eat cereal while masturbating maybe he was on to something.
  
  i skimmed over the not and thought it was a normal comment anyway.
  
  I didn't know that how you were supposed to do it. They really should put the preparation instructions on the box.
- They didn't use bots to upvote that one video from the internet's edgy gore phase, that includes a woman and eating cereal in a disgusting way? Very unlike the internet.

What is wrong with people man wtf do you mean warm coffee cereal
- Italians ¯(ツ)/¯
  
  ¯(ツ)_🤌

Why the extra sugar? Is the cereal not sugary enough? Even the "healthy" cereals tend to have too much sugar, plus the milk has a bunch of sugar.
- It's so hard finding low sugar cereals. I'm lactose intolerant so I usually get no sugar added oatmilk at least.
- Plenty of cereals have no sugar.
  Milk only has a bunch of sugar in the USA.
  
  What? Lactose is literally sugar.
  
  All milk has lactose, which is sugar.

That doesnt seem terrible to me, but I also married someone who pours orange juice on their cereal. ¯(ツ)_/¯
- Well that's the most 'wtf' thing I've read on here in a few days.
  btw you dropped this:
  
  ¯ (ツ)/ ¯
- ಠ~ಠ
- Do you mean orange juice on oats? Because that apparently works and the two combined are healthy or whatever. Or do you mean full on cinnamon toast crunch, frosted flakes type shit? Frosted flakes doesn't actually sound that bad.
  
  Oj is really not that healthy. It has a ton of calories and is almost pure sugar. As a type 2 I can't have any, and if I can't have it, then no one should, lol. God, please just let me drink oj and eat rasins again.
  
  Any cereal, but frosted flakes is usually the go-to.

Even more proof that vtubers are degenerates.

Breakfast cereal with warm milk???? 🤢🤢🤢🤮
- Don't forget to spike the milk with coffee before adding any cereal
  
  Mixing it with iced coffee sounds like it might be alright... Only some kind of sociopath would ever pour milk first and then cereal though
  
  Coffee and additional, out of pocket sugar. Just go to Dunkin, for the love of God
  
  My breakfast is the same, just without milk or cereals.

Heat the coffee
Add a splash of coffee
No sugar, just coffee
No cereal, doughnuts
Repeat until you're full
Drink the leftover
If you don't do it this way, it's ok to be wrong
- Heart palpitations at breakfast let's gooooo

Imma fight y'all.
No milk. Use fil (sour milk), yoghurt or something similar. Put cereal on top, no mixing. The cereal touching the "liquid" get soggy while the rest stays crisp giving the best texture heterogeneity. Berries are awesome, frozen a super convenient alternative. If using frozen mix these with dairy before adding cereal.
Your fermented dairy of choice brings a nice crispy and fresh acidity to the meal. And if it (still) have an active bacterial culture it is super good for your gut.
Muesli is best cereal.
Honey only approved sweetener.
- Honey only? But there's so many good ones!
  Jam, agave, or maple syrup should be good with muesli & yoghurt to my taste. Light molasses may work in moderation, and I've heard good things about sorghum syrup.
- Fil as in Viili? That is delicious.
  
  By the wiki article it sounds very similar. Milk plus micro culture equals deciciousness.
- That is my preferred breakfast. I prepare it the night before in a glass to allow the bottom layer tons of time to soften like you say but then I mix it all just before eating. I tend to use kefir since if I want fil I've gotta make it myself but as you say anything similar gets the job done.

Average YouTube cooking video

I've got this beat. I love eating cheez-its with milk, like it's cereal. Absolute best way.
- Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave for disruption of the peace
- Ok I'm ngl that sounds like excellent.
  
  Hells yeah, I got a convert.

Add yogurt to bowl
Add cereal to bowl
Stir
Enjoy.

I actually like it when my cereals get soggy. Most "crunchy" things are just annoyingly hard. Anything harder than a potato chip just sucks.
- i agree on soggy cereal, especially on cinnamon crunch.

All I need is steps 2 and 6.

I'm just gonna leave this here

For making weetbix I have boil water and heat some milk in the Microwave. Pour the boiling water over the weetbix then add the warm milk. Add brown sugar and a dash of cream.
Most of the time I'm to lazy to do all that but it's the way my mum made them so I sometimes do it if I feel like a treat. I think the hot water is just a way to save on milk but it melts the weetbix which Ive grown to like.
- Hold up, let's put aside culturally-specific weetbix for a sec (🇦🇺🤝🇳🇿), you mix WATER with your milk but then ADD CREAM???
  
  Sounds like a seppo thing to do. Probably gets more than one drink from a Milo tin too.
  Am curious though.

You know, just when I think I have reached self actualization I read a post like this.

I've been doing this for decades, I just omit steps 1 and 4.

ok im intrigued

Cereal is (unsurprisingly) supposed to be prepared like "overnight oats" and similar gruels. Pour the cereal in the milk, leave it all out overnight to soak up the juices, wake up to a breakfast revelation.

If you pour milk into cereal you won't have extra milk.
