I used to prefer warm milk when I was a kid. Now I can't stand it. Ice cold milk all the way

One time I was trapped at a hotel in Champaign, IL during a blizzard and during breakfast, some eastern bloc dudes showed up and made up their cereal and put it in the microwave. You see plenty of backwards ass stuff in Champaign, IL, but the euros went straight to the top of the list.

I remember when a friend made Ready Brek for us once and I asked what the fuck he was doing when he microwaved it. Next time I was down in his place (we were kids, many years ago now) I heated the milk in the microwave first then poured it over the cereal. He quickly learned which was the better method.

Microwaving the entire thing together turns it into an unpalatable mush, so no, I don't do that. And Ready Brek would be the only cereal I'd ever heat milk for anyway.

No.

First time I ever saw someone microwaving their cereal was my uncle when he was visiting us from England.

Do you cheese grate your bread?
Do you blend your steak?
Do you sip coffee through a straw?

These are all threads that have as much right to exist as this one, yet we all correctly held our tongues. Why couldn't you do the same, OP?

Oatmeal yes. Cereal . . . I mean it's wrong if it actually IS lukewarm, and not cold, let alone piping hot. What is going on in here

I feel sick and I've only read the title, too scared to read OP's post.

No, a big part of the experience is how refreshing it is to have them very cold even in the dead of winter.

Wait, do people actually use a microwave for oatmeal, instead of properly using an oven. That's horrible, and as bad as microwaving water for tea and coffee.
Wait, an oven? I boil the water in a kettle, put the oatmeal in a bowl, and pour the boiling water onto it. I can't even picture doing it in an oven.

I forgot to add stove top, but yeah boiling water in any other way is better than using a microwave for that purpose. The heat isn't evenly balanced, and the end result is just a mediocre mess.
