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.

[–] breadleyloafsyou@lemmy.zip 35 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

It's designed that way on purpose. Cereal manufacturers are some of the most egregious abusers of hyperpalatable foods.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 13 points 3 hours ago

Read: Dessert marketed as breakfast

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 hours ago

Ooh, I like that, "hyperpalatable".

"Egregious" is also good, but I knew that one.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 44 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

y'know, the kids in africa and all

Kids in Africa also don't like soggy cereal?

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the rock stars fixed that ages ago.

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Darn you rock stars!

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If you use a funnel to pour the cereal into the jug, you can have a swig of soggy bits on demand!

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Youve seen this more than once? wut? same or different cities?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 1 points 28 minutes ago

Or embrace savory cereal and put cheese, sour cream and hot sauce into oatmeal. Trust me.

Vanilla soy latte is a three-bean soup.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago

A primordial soup.

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"Ugh I hate clam chowder. Its just hot ocean milk with dead animal croutons."

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You don't even need to add 2 things together. Cereal is great on its own

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Crispix/Chex might be better dry

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

You're right, only because they suck at being cereal. It's boxed gruel disguised as cereal.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Rice chex and crispix both are delicious. Shame on you.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Ehhh, other cereals are just sugary gruel. I’d prefer fewer calories directly from sugar / corn syrup in my diet.

Life?!? You're technically correct because Life is awful with milk, but Life isn't anything more than an ingredient for homemade Bits & Bites.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 hours ago

It’s the best when you’re baked too. It really helps with the dry mouth

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] suodrazah@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I usually eat it dry with a glass of oat milk on the side.
