I eat my cereal straight from the box. Dry. Adding milk just makes cereal soggy and flavorless. Everybody wants crunchy cereal, but nobody wants to STOP ADDING THE THING THAT MAKES IT SOGGY!!!
I’ve never understood why people add milk. It’s awful, and it ruins the cereal. Somehow I’M the asshole for adding milk??? Yeah, ok…
Never had Captain Crunch, I see

Or granola.
I eat my granola in yogurt with lingonberry jam.
Or grape nuts…
Eat it with marshmallow cream. Not too wet and not too dry.

I agree
Although it’s partly because I’m lactose intolerant
Most of the times it’s too sweet to be had without milk for me(and way too crunchy too). Granola bar is a thing.
I add probably about 30-50ml of milk, enough to wet the cereal when I mix it about a bit, and doesn’t get soggy at all. I never got the whole floating cereal thing but I think a lot of people like drinking the flavoured milk after.
I like eating cheez-its with milk, like it’s a cereal.
If this were Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I feel like you’d be Charlie. Just kicking the back doors of the van, and yelling “WILD CARD BITCHES!!! YEHAW!!!” before jumping out and shooting guns into the air.
Ohh sh*t! Look at that door, dude. See that door there? The one marked “Pirate”? You think a pirate lives in there?
Eat it how you like it. Don’t judge people on their tastes. Encourage others not to judge.
I’ve never understood why people add milk
Because it tastes better with milk. Raw cereal is pure sugar most of the time, milk makes it at least bearable. Also many cereals are really dry
It tastes like soggy despair.
You’re eating your food too slow.
Both the milk and the cereal immediately taste disgusting once they intermingle.
Not sure it’s possible to inhale it in the fractional seconds it would take to prevent any wetting from occurring.
welp there’s a reason this opinion was posted in this community. You’re in good company with OP.
No, it’s everyone else who is wrong.
Agree. No milk in my cereal either!
There three of us should start a club
And my axe!
I agree. It prevents accidents. This one is still in arbitration…
Oh Sandra …
Hey you’re right that is unpopular.
the milk is the nutritious part.
This is a time sensitive equation. Dry cereal is too crunchy. Cereal which has been sitting in milk a while is too soggy. You’re supposed to eat it immediately after adding milk, when the cereal is partially softened but still mostly crunchy.
And you don’t need to drown it in milk like it’s a soup, the best ratio requires you to stir the cereal a few times to evenly wet it. If the milk comes more than about halfway up the cereal, you’ve overdone it
Disagree on the ratio, if you eat like I do it’s never gonna get soggy and then you also get a nice amount of flavored milk too
There is, however, something to be said for Coke and Fruity Pebbles.
you got my upvote.
Definitely an unpopular opinion!
However, I agree in part. I think it depends on the type of cereal. For the most part, granola type cereals hold up really well, and what little they do soften is a good thing. Same with grapenuts in specific. Anything where you’ve got clusters of things cooked up, you get plenty of crunch and no loss of flavor.
For most of the bland but sugary stuff, like lucky charms or corn pops, I don’t think being soggy makes them worse. If anything, they ruin good milk lol.
But then you run into the rest of the cereal world where you either eat fast or just suck down a soggy mess at the end. It varies some, but the best route is to either eat dry and drink the milk, or split it up and add it to the bowl in phases.
