My roommate thinks I'm a nutcase. I pour my milk into a bowl before I dump my cereal into it. Thats just the way I've always been doing it since I usually bring my cereal upstairs with me, I don't feel like bringing my liter of milk with me, so I just pour a certain amount and bring the cereal up with me. Makes sense doesn't it?!

What about you?

Cereal first, always. I don't remember when was the last time I ate cereal though. But I always wait a while so they "soften" a bit.

I pour the cereal first, milk second.

Doing it the opposite way, it's hard to gauge the amount of milk needed for a given cereal because all cereals need a different amount.

That, and having the cereal in the bowl means less chance of milk splashing everywhere if you happen to pour too hard.

That said, I love cereal and eat about 2 bowls a day or more!

never really thought about it

maybe it goes back in the day when i had those little boxes of cereal that you just cut open the box, pour milk, and eat from it

OP: you are an original thinker and doer. However, your roommate lacks creativity and independence of thought and deed. Unfortunately, those such as yourself are significantly outnumbered by such as is your roommate. You live in their world: a world resistant to change or difference. A world where the nail that sticks-out is hammered into place. A world where BOSE is considered state-of-the-art.

Suck it up.

Milk first.

The cereal is secondary to the milk. And the cereal doesn't become soggy, as I only pour in enough to coat the top of the milk with cereal. So there are many re-fills of cereal and none of milk.

Usually, though, I have oatmeal. Then, the order doesn't matter.

Cereal....The OP is obviously a freak, but we love him anyway.

OP's a sick freak. This is worse than people who pull their toilet paper from under, not over. Or, people who open their bananas from the wrong end.

Hey, I do that with toilet paper! It's a carry over from bad experiences with cheap toilet paper in the past (Less accidental ripping going under rather than over). I won't settle for cheap if I have a choice though.

Cereal first though, because I generally use only enough milk to raise the cereal by 1/8" to 1/4" and want to make sure the cereal gets "coated" with it as I pour.....I didn't even know you'd ever want to open a banana the other way. o_O

cereal first! always, and doing it just like the previous post.

I used to work with a woman who poured coffee on her cereal.

Exactly.

Also, I agree with Taikero about coating the cereal.

Cereal first.
That way you know how much cereal you are eating. Also, all cereal has a different need for milk, so you can measure more exactly.
For example, muesli needs to be just covered, but cheerios should float.

Cereal first of course.

Cereal first. Always.
