Cereal is the most delicious thing in the universe that doesn't require anything more than pouring two things into a bowl. No peeling, heating, mixing, blending, layering, etc. Two things, in a bowl, and you don't use goes back in the place it came from.
That bowl was a little big for me, I'll just drain the milk back into the jug and put these soggy bits back in the box.
y'know, the kids in africa and all
I thought the rock stars fixed that ages ago.
That money went nowhere near any kids with flies in their eyes. The government got their cut though, and then used food as a weapon, literally as bait to capture rebels who were then abused
Darn you rock stars!
Kids in Africa also don't like soggy cereal?
If you use a funnel to pour the cereal into the jug, you can have a swig of soggy bits on demand!
I've seen a few people attempt to open a "cereal milk" restaurant, where you can order CocoPuff milk, Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk, Fruity Pebbles milk, etc.
The few I've seen have flamed out pretty fast, which is predictable for an idea that was obviously cooked up by a couple of rich college kids while passing the bong, and then convincing their wealthy fathers into coughing up the starting costs.
Youve seen this more than once? wut? same or different cities?
I've seen it written about at least 3 different times, in different cities. Like I said, it's the kind of an idea that sounds like genius when you're baked.
It's designed that way on purpose. Cereal manufacturers are some of the most egregious abusers of hyperpalatable foods.
Read: Dessert marketed as breakfast
So, like pancakes? Or jam on toast?
Ooh, I like that, "hyperpalatable".
"Egregious" is also good, but I knew that one.
Until one day, when you're eating soup and innocently toss in some croutons, only to realize that what you're eating is essentially cereal: savory edition, which you find so inexplicably disgusting that you can't even stomach the thought of regular cereal for a depressing amount of time
I think that with enough sauce, chicken alfredo becomes a soup. Where do I fit on the chart?
That would be ramen Alfredo, so you’re not quite a soup anarchist, but that’s probably for the best.
The ocean is a soup.
A primordial soup.
(yo mamma)
Vanilla soy latte is a three-bean soup.
Neither coffee nor vanilla is a bean. Coffee is a seed of the coffea family and vanilla is an orchid
If cereal can be a soup, coffee can be a bean.
Soup is a dish preparation. While I am fine with arguing that even drinkable coffee is a soup or broth and cereal has soup like properties. No, coffee is a very different part of the plant kingdom than legumes or orchids. If you just call a blue whale a bird, it does not become even remotely true.
Who is out there saying soup had to be vegetarian, or that croutons make soup not soup? Half of the chart is a waste of potential controversy
where are you reading croutons?
Croutons are solid
We might need another chart about this
"Ugh I hate clam chowder. Its just hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons."
neh-vier!
That only happens if you reverse your arbitrary categorisations and let them dictate your feelings about things, instead of realising that categorisations are a) arbitrary and b) can be refined.
Cereal has to, at least, involve a cereal like rice or oats or whatever as the main ingredient.
You mean, like... Corn?!?!
Vegetable soup (with corn) has entered the chat
And my point stands.
Also, you and your strict interpretation of 'cereal' have room to talk right after lecturing me about arbitrary categorizations... Sounds like someone needs to take their own advice, eh? 😋🙃
Hmm I like the cut of your gib
Or embrace savory cereal and put cheese, sour cream and hot sauce into oatmeal. Trust me.
Never speak to me or my son ever again.
It’s the best when you’re baked too. It really helps with the dry mouth
You don't even need to add 2 things together. Cereal is great on its own
I've yet to meet a cereal that was better dry. Some came damned close (Cracklin' Oat Bran is my fave), but still not better.
Cinnamon Life
Crispix/Chex might be better dry
You're right, only because they suck at being cereal. It's boxed gruel disguised as cereal.
Ehhh, other cereals are just sugary gruel. I’d prefer fewer calories directly from sugar / corn syrup in my diet.
Rice chex and crispix both are delicious. Shame on you.

I usually eat it dry with a glass of oat milk on the side.
Excuse me, you can pour crack and pop rocks into a bowl.
Depends which cereal we're talking about. I've watching those 'lets make lucky charms / something with chocolate' videos and they're basically making a complicated soup, solidifying it, and cutting it up into tiny pieces, just to make a basic soup of milk afterwards.
The weirdest thing to me was realising zalot of cereals already contain milk. Actual liquid milk, that is, baked in.
