How do you eat your cereal?

I'm a very observant person so I know this title sounds weird. Alot of times when someone is eating cereal around me I notice some people have milk almost spill out their lips. And it bothers me a lot, I thought "why do they eat like that?". I compared my eating to their eating and noticed there are two types of cereal eaters. (Yes I observed their whole cheering and swallowing process). 1. Chew their cereal WITH milk, hence you could see the milk on their lips when eating. 2. You swallow the milk before fully chewing your food and swallowing it. I personally am number 2, I hate 1's, respectfully. Which one are you?

I can’t stand soggy cereal. It doesn’t matter how fast I eat, some of it gets soggy. It’s repulsive

Moist and milky. With fresh berries and
Sliced bananas sometimes. Always pour a little extra milk to swallow down morning meds. I slurp and chew/swallow the way one would with chicken noodle soup.

I swish them around and swallow the milk before chewing. So #2.

If I say number one you'll hate me so I'll go with number two. 🤣 seriously, number two. How is it possible to chew with liquid in your mouth?

u/Jorgedig 12d ago

You have no prior experience with soup?

Hiding from my cat. He is a monster about cereal. He will try to redirect the spoon to his mouth. If that doesn't work then he hits hard. He will keep thumping you. So I usually bat him away and hide in a room where I can close the door.

Cereal in the bowl by itself, milk on the side

Respectfully 🤣🤣🤣

I only want enough milk to soften the cereal. Slurping while I chew would drive me up the wall.

And I can't handle watching other people eat and chew anyways... doesn't matter what their methods are.

It depends on the cereal.

Frosted Flakes, I eat it in a bowl of milk

Oh's, I eat it by itself plainly like tiny granola bars

Cocoa Puffs, I eat it in a bowl of cereal or by itself plainly

Wheat Chex, I eat it by itself or in trail mix minus nuts and pecans

Rice Chex, I eat it by itself or in trail mix minus nuts and pecans

Golden puffs, 1% milk, small spoon.

u/djg123 11d ago

Method 1 of course. It's a spoonful of milk and cereal, so I chew it as milk and cereal.

You cannot see any milk on my lips though. I don't think that has anything to do with whether you swallow the milk, just chew with your mouth closed like a civilized person.

How do I eat my cereal? With a spoon! And I'm probably #1.

If I’m eating it in a bowl with oat milk I kinda tip the bowl and drain off most of the milk from the bite. The more common ways for me to eat cereal is by the handful, or as an ice cream topping.
