    Most people that put milk first actually warm up the milk in the microwave rather than put it on the stove or something like that. I personally do it because it saves on dishes

    As for me, I have another reason. When you run out of cereals, do you put more in another bowl, then transfer the milk in? Obviously not, you just add it on top of the milk, which is the same thing as putting milk first Also, putting hot milk on the cereals sometimes makes them all soggy and I rather have them stay crips

    I really don’t see how this debate is so heated over which step to start the cycle of cereals eating lol.

        YOU DON’T EAT CEREAL WITH WARM MILK!? That’s genuinely the first time I hear that people eat cereal with cold milk. I tried it once, and it felt soulless.

          I have never in my life met anyone who put hot milk on breakfast cereal lol are you maybe talking about like porridge or cream of wheat? Those are technically kinds of cereal

            No just some regular cereal like corn flakes or wheat based cereals. And technically I don’t put milk on cereal, I put cereal on milk or else they get soggy.

            And I hope it’s not fridge cold milk, because this seems even worse. All the warmth of a good old breakfast replaced by just cold milk is just so weird

            For information, I am french so this might be why we have such a rift in cereal eating culture. And no, I’m not trolling. I’m genuinely doing this when I’m eating cereal. But now I’m wondering, why not warm milk? Is it just because no one tries or just that warming it up worsens the taste?

              I’ve always eaten cold milk (yes fridge cold, the colder the better) with cereal. If I’m in the mood for a hot breakfast I generally just make something else like toast or oatmeal or eggs and bacon. I realize that you’re not trolling, this is just genuinely blowing my mind lol
