I don't remember who it was. But there was a poster somewhere who had the right idea. You put the milk in, keep the cereal box by your side, then put a small bunch of cereals over time as you eat them. The cereals are always crunchy and don't need to commit to a specific quantity of cereals from the get go. You can just stop pouring in more cereals when you're done.

I put the milk on the floor first.

Then I pour the cereal on the floor, into the pool of milk.

Then I strip down and writhe in the cereal and milk, creating a slurry that enters my pores and allows me to understand the runic speech that the cereal communicates in.

The Chex told me the future.

Putting milk first allows you to portion control easier AND less risk of spilling milk as milk easily splashes when poured onto cereal. Also cereal stays the perfect mix of crunchy and soggy longer.

But honestly I do both methods depending on my mood.

If you do milk first you can potentially get more cereal out of one bowl without adding more milk.. Most people eat all the cereal first before the milk is gone.

If you pour the milk first thats more bowl real estate it takes up leaving more milk in the bowl after the cereal is all ate. Which provides a path for more cereal to be added at the end. Which provides more crunch as well.

milk is one-and-done. I can't add more cereal to old milk, gets too sweet and has lost its temperature edge by then too. Has to be ice cold or boiling hot and nothing between

In summer cereal first then pour cold milk on it. Reverse order for winter as I microwave the milk and I don' twant soggy cereal from the get go. Refill acceptable unless milk gets cold.

Do whatever you prefer.
There's no right or wrong way, as much as people would like to tell you and joke about it.

I personally prefer warm milk with my cereal as I don't like the taste of cold milk. So I warm it up lightly and then put cereal on top. That way cereals don't instantly turn soggy and I get to have it with warm milk.

Someone on the radio show I used to listen to on the way to work said she puts ice cubes in her cereal.

How are people putting milk in first without making their kitchen into a Jackson Pollock painting? Do I just eat heavy cereal?

The cereal is first priority, so that goes first. You can always compensate by adjusting the milk, rather than the other way around.

Do you like soggy cereal? I don't. So I do milk first, add some cereal, eat it, then add some more. Unless you inhale your cereal in 1 minute this is the way to go

Milk first, cereal in waves.
Repeat cereal till the milk is almost gone.
Drink the flavored milk at the end.

If you do this, that means you like your cereal crunchy. If you don't, means you like it soggy. Simple as that lol.

My wife puts milk first and then adds two or three spoonfuls of cereal at a time so it doesn't get soggy. Me, I'm normal.

Dry cereal. Drink the milk (preferably chocolate) out of a glass.

I like my cereal crunchy, not soggy, nor do I like how milk and cereal taste when eating them together in a single bite.
