    Pour cereal. Pour milk. As soon as boyancy causes the cereal to rise, stop pouring the milk.

    Perfect every time. 👌

    If you can’t see the milk, too little. If the bowl can possibly overflow while you’re eating, too much. Can’t give an exact ratio, but that’s the line I live on.

    1. Use a square bowl placed on top of a circular plate.
    2. Add 11 parts water, then 2 parts cereal, using a mix of ancient Babylonian and traditional Japanese volumetric units (bonus points if you don’t actually convert them).
    3. Heat in the oven at 709 °R for exactly 73,037 ms. (Is that a decimal or thousand separator? Ask your local mathematics teacher.)
    4. Once heated, let it cool to exactly room temperature by placing it outside (regardless of the weather).
    5. Add a generous layer of cold ketchup on top, forming a smiley face.

    Optional: Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve with a side of existential dread. Bon appétit!

    Put cereal in bowl, add milk until cereal is almost completely covered. Let sit for a minute to let cereal soak up some milk. This is for mini wheats mixed with another cereal. Mini wheats need a little soaking.

    By volume, usually I stop pouring milk when it covers approximately 4/5 of the cereal. That makes it so when I put my spoon in it, the cereal at the very top will also absorb some milk.

    Just add milk until the entire pile of cereal starts to lift. Usually when the milk reaches the base level of the cereal itself.

    No milk in anything for 4+ years now.

    Half a handful of:

    • fortified whatever-brand O’s
    • peanuts
    • fruit and nut trail mix
    • top off with granola
    • prefect amount of water to end with a dry bowl but only barely

    I thought my stomach issues were just a human thing. I always drank a bunch of milk. My chronic back issues from disability make me very sensitive to additional inflammation. So I tried eliminating milk one time for a few weeks to see how it affected me. It was night and day. I felt so much better that I never went back.

      You’re eating too much cereal my friend. Try using an 8:2 ratio for a few days and see if you feel better.

        This guy coming over here not knowing what a zero is and trying to dunk on me. What a sad little guy.

        You might want to eat some more cereal and get that brain working, friend.
