Serious How Do You Eat Your Cereal?

[Zaddd]

Okay, let me be real with you all that eats cereal. Does it really matter how you eat your cereal? If it does, I have created 3 categories to see how you eat cereal:
Dry & Wet, Slightly Soggy, and Soggy.

A. Dry & Wet - After pouring milk into the cereal, the milk is below the bowl as the cereal on top is dry. The cereal is slightly (but barely) saturated & crunchy.
B. Slightly Soggy - After pouring milk into the cereal, you wait at some time for the cereal to be saturated (more with time) while keeping the crunch intact.
C. Soggy - The cereal is no longer crunchy & completely saturated with the milk, but this makes the milk tastier.

I eat it as soon I pour the milk? Like, I don't particularly wait (although I do spend some time putting the milk and cereal away).

That said, soggy cereal is disgusting.

Also, cereal with cold milk is a lot better than cereal with room temperature milk.

honestly it'll depend on the kind of cereal. if it's something like bran flakes then, like Circus, i'll start eating as soon as i finish pouring the milk.

with chocolate cereals, i don't even use milk. i just pour them into the bowl, grab a drink, then treat them like chips.

I always try to eat them as soon as possible but sometimes I'm get late for the day's duties so I get them ready first because it's easier and go get dressed or put stuff on my bag. So I guess Slightly Soggy? xD

You mean...like these? =O

 

[Zeostar]

Any sort of sogginess sounds gross. Right after I pour the milk is the only way I could imagine.

 

[Palamon]

In my hands, dry. Cereal in a bowl is too many calories, so.

 

[Corrin]

Eat it before it gets soggy. I can't stand it soggy.
Also, I only eat cheerios anyway, and they are tolerable when mildly soggy.

never seen those before but i guess? mine is more like this

 

[RadEmpoleon]

I eat cereal completely dry, no milk. I don't even like milk.

But---but---those are so good with milk! ;-;

Also I'm surprised there is more than one animal representing the same nestle's cereals xD
Here in our country we have a dog and it's called "Chocapic"

i've always been a dry guy -- as in, i prefer to eat lots of stuff sans sauce or anything wet with it heh. i may dip it milk one of these days, but i just love the crunchiness too much!

i just searched up Chocapic too, it looks so familiar yet so foreign at the same time! i wonder why companies use different brandings for different countries, wouldn't they want consistency throughout?

Probably testing. Like, koalas aren't exactly well known animals over here - although they most likely are in Australia and the Philippines most likely get the same branding as Australia because Oceania (or close enough for the execs).

Here in Brazil, the go-to Nestlé chocolate cereal is Nescau Cereal, which is a tie-in for the chocolate milk powder, Nescau, which was made specifically for the Brazilian market. So getting that brand recognition was probably more important for Nestlé than just copy pasting Kokokrunch or Chocapic (which apparently does sell in Portugal).

I think this makes a lot of sense. Using a dog probably wouldn't attract as much attention as a koala meaning they would probably sell less.
Those are called Nesquik here and are represented by a Bunny:

Spoiler:

I guess Marketing can be a funny thing, huh =O

yeah we don't have koalas at all here but hey the Koko Krunch name is alive and well regardless heh.

ooh i know this bunny at least! we got Nesquik stuff here in the Philippines but i personally don't fancy it.

We do have Nesquik here, but not for cereal. It's mostly a strawberry flavor powder for making strawberry milk. I like(d) it even if it's not something very common.

Whaaat, you guys have that??? ><
I've been searching up and down for this all these years! They don't seem to sell it here, only the cocoa version which makes normal chocolate milk ;-;
God, Nesquik strawberry flavor powder is the best thing ever, I envy you xD

Soggy cereal is definitely bleh. If I wait too long to eat mine it becomes gross.

That said, from your explanation, I'm probably more between A and B? Only willing to let my cereal get a very tiny bit soggy before I eat it. I usually just use a spoon to press mine down into the bowl a little so the milk spreads a bit and immediately start eating lol.

Ohh man I used to be obsessed with nesquik as a kid though. Been forever since I had it @_@

 

[Megan]

Cereals either get destroyed before they have the chance to get soggy or they never see milk to begin with. There's a complicated system behind it because cereal is serious business!

 

[Taro Tanaka]

It all depends on my mood, so I went with all of the above. Sometimes, I like my cereal to have crunch, like rice-based cereals. Other times, I love having it all be a soggy pile, like with corn flake-based cereals. And other times, I just want the in-between.

 

[Meister_anon~Master_o f_None]

The real question is which goes in first, the milk or the cereal. We all know the right answer. right.
