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 what you don’t use goes back in the place it came from.
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.
If you use a funnel to pour the cereal into the jug, you can have a swig of soggy bits on demand!
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.
Youve seen this more than once? wut? same or different cities?
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.
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
The ocean is a soup.
It’s designed that way on purpose. Cereal manufacturers are some of the most egregious abusers of hyperpalatable foods.
Read: Dessert marketed as breakfast
Ooh, I like that, “hyperpalatable”.
“Egregious” is also good, but I knew that one.

It takes an enormous amount of energy to grow. One of my friend’s sons actually has stretch marks because he grew so quickly one summer.
Within limits, I think teenagers have a license to eat ridiculous amounts of food.
oh yeah, I remember being able to eat an entire large pizza and 32 garlic bread bites in one sitting as a teenager
You don’t need to eat a bag of sugar to grow
That’s where the “within limits” bit comes in.
I’m still can’t believe some crazy guy 100 years ago convinced the whole country that eating sugar with milk is somehow a healthy breakfast. And the same guy convinced the same country to do the genital mutilation on male infants.
You’re combining the two Kellogg brothers. One thought that pleasure was sin, and that a good diet should be as bland as possible to maintain piety. The other thought his brother’s cereal tasted like shit and was really hard to market and sell, until he added sugar and salt, then subsequently became filthy rich.
Ironically, pre-sugared cereal may have also reduced the amount of sugar in kids’ cereal. For a while, kids were taking regular cereal and dumping sugar on it. Instead of actually parenting and telling them no, the parents started buying sugary cereal.
And both were done with the goal of reducing masturbation.
Knowing better has a full day’s worth of content on this, if you’d like to know more
Fuck that guy. I’m gonna go buy a box of corn flakes and eat it while I jerk off all day.
To be fair, my husband will just have 6 bowls of cereal in a row all of a sudden.
But my son… here he is with his mixing bowl.
Edit: when my son went through a miso soup phase, he would get the big mixing bowl and use a whole block of tofu. Probably straight up 2L of miso broth. For context, he is 6’2” and 19.
Your son is producing fewer dishes. Be better, husband.
Husband does reuse the bowl though. He is not a monster.
Can’t wait! I’d eat like 4-5k calories a day, and literally couldn’t put on weight, although swimming competitively helped a bit I’m sure. Was just a bean pole.
Smoked an unhealthy amount of weed as a kid too, and my go-to high snack was a half gallon of milk and an Entemann’s All Butter French Crunbcake. Believe it or not, I cannot eat like that anymore.
Was it not illegal back then to smoke weed when you were a teen
Yes, it was. Nobody was going to jail over weed though. They handed it a year of probation if you got caught by the cops.
We usually have four young people around the house ages 16-21 ((only three are ours). We’re lower middle class and don’t receive any food assistance. Our food bill straight up destroys our budget.
I have 4 boys 12-17. Costco treats me like royalty.
Yeah for me Costco is almost an hour away but Sam’s Club is about 5 mins. So yeah that’s where I do a lot of shopping. Thank goodness for bulk packs.
I remember a reddit post from forever ago where the guy said that the grocery store had asked his mom to let them know when their son went to college because him leaving would impact the quantities of chocolate milk they stocked.
I remember that one too. What a world.
the solution to every human problem is “don’t have kids”
no humans, no human problems
pull out of her.
pull out of her.
Do you want kids? Because that’s how you get kids.
Hey there are worse methods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_methods
Also people suck at using condoms
I knew a family that told their adult teenage son he could only have one bowl of cereal in the morning and that is what he did.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Just get a mixing bowl and put the whole box it and a half a gallon of milk in it and eat it like Otto did. Guy was 6’2" and two fifty at the time.
Oh. So like what he does already. Got it. 🤦♀️
No. He was eating a whole box of cereal using a small bowl. He was told he could only have one bowl so he switch to a large bowl. How is this hard to comprehend?
