When you eat cereal do you drink the milk out of the bowl?
well.....since Cheryl asked i bet that most people drank their milk, he said most dont. It all started because he left the milk in his bowl and i wondered why. It looks like there is no "most" but rather my side of it tips the scales a bit in my favor. But otherwise we are both technically wrong.
Hell no, I keep putting more cereal in the bowl til the milk is used up! Don't want to be WASTEFUL afterall, tehehe.
:)
Nope! When I drink milk I like it cold, cold, right out of the fridge. When it's been sitting in the bowl with the cereal it's too warm and it has the cereal remnants so to me it just doesn't taste good.
No, mostly because I like my milk really cold and by the time the cereal is gone, its not as cold anymore. My kids don't drink it either. =)
no. I'm not sure why, but I just think it's gross. I know I'm weird
Yes - I like to eat cereal in my big ole coffe mug so it's even easier to drink the milk afterwards. My kids have plastic cereal bowls with straws in them!
Oh my goodness... No no no!!! Never did and I'm not starting now!! :)
No - even as a kid I didn't like it once it had dissolved cereal crumbs in it!
I hope Im not the only weirdo out there that does this but I have NEVER liked milk in my cereal (Im a big texture person when it comes to food) so I always have a mug of dry cereal with a mug of milk to go with it
Not sure why it has to be a mug but thats how I eat my cereal
Please dont laugh too hard =)
yep... so do my kids and husband. Its the best part
Of course! It's the best part. Especially if eating Coco crispies or coco pebbles!
BTW
It's a requirement in my house. We are not wasting milk! Sometimes, if they are having a sugary treat cereal, the milk is the healthiest part.
yes I drink my milk! a spoon takes too long.
I put very little milk on it because I really don't drink milk!
Yes, every time, but then I regret it because I'm lactose intolerant, lol.
With my spoon; I don't pick the bowl up and put it to my lips! ;)
Nope. Milk doesn't taste as drinkable to me when it has "cereal dust" in it. Besides, I'm *much* too much of a lady! ;^) So I use the spoon and, when I'm done, my cat drinks the rest of the milk out of the bowl.
Yes! I grew up on a dairy farm. You don't throw milk away!! Besides, it tastes good.
What else would I do with the milk?
EW! NO, I never drink it! My husband always makes fun of me because I pour myself a big bowl of cereal and a few tablespoons of milk. He drinks it though.
Nope! I don't know why I guess it's b/c it tastes like the cereal or something? I love milk, but not in a bowl of cereal! When I was a kid I used to make sure to put very little milk in my cereal when I was at a friend's house, so I wouldn't have to worry about being forced to drink it. I still don't go overboard on the milk, so I guess a little does get wasted, but I just can't do it! :-)
Depends on my mood and hunger level. If hungry, add more cereal. If done, drink the milk :)
My son & I don't eat cereal.
My husband drinks the milk.
Just wanted to add that I have heard that the "vitamins" in cereal are actually applied with a mist type spray, so if you're NOT drinking the milk--you're missing a good portion of those vitamins!
Yuk. No. I actually put more cereal in the bowl to use up the milk, but I would dump any leftover milk.
Usually no. I use my spoon.
Good luck to you and yours.
Only at home, because I'm sure drinking out of the bowl doesn't display proper table manners. LOL! However, I do drink the milk b/c I've read that a lot of the healthy grains end up in the milk. Therefore, in order to get your cereal's full health benefits, you have to drink the milk :)
depends on the cereal... if the cereal leaves the milk tasting good ( chocolate or cinnamon or somthing like that ) yes.
If milk tastes like milk, nope. I don't like the taste of milk.
Yes, but only when my 5 year old is not looking.
It's the only way to get me to drink milk other than having chocolate milk. Otherwise, I hate milk.
I do. I do NOT like it. But I hate to waste it.
My DH does not. Waster! ;)
I am the REALLY odd person out, I don't even put milk in my cereal. My old co-workers thought I was a freak. :)
Yes. Because it's wasteful not to. And it fills my tummy.
I dont but I make my kids. ( I hate milk) but if they are going to fill the ENTIRE bowl full of milk then they are going to drink it.
is there any other way?! I especially love to drink it after I eat Cocoa Puffs or Cocoa Crispies!!!
Okay - now I need to know - what's the bet and who wins what?
It's the best part!!
Yes! It's the best part because it retains the flavor of the cereal :-)
its wasteful not to, but I like it anyways so I do
I know people that will put tons o milk on their cereal and then just leave it
Of course! ESPECIALLY if it's chocolate cereal!
Yuck! Nope. Then it's milk that tastes like whatever cereal I ate. bleh.
Only if no one's looking.
I don't, but most people I know do. I usually use my spoon to drink the leftovers.
yes and no... depends what cereal i am eating :)
Absolutely! I'm a milkaholic though. :-)
Nope, I add more cereal to soak up the milk.
Is there reallly any other way?? ;) I admit it, I do! An old b-friend back in college got onto me one day about that & said it wasn't civilized & i should spoon it out. I wasn't taught any different & really, I've never seen anyone spoon it out but I guess if I were out on the town & eating soup or cereal, I would spoon it out just because it's not my stuff (aka, public use of stuff) & don't like people staring but yes, at home I definitly drink it out of the bowl! I really don't see the problem w/it.
of course! (without checking other answers). Its good for you and shouldn't go to waste. At home I drink it, elsewhere I spoon it.
I always drink the milk, sometimes that is the best part! My son also drinks the milk but my husband doesn't.
I don't normally eat cereal, but when I do I have to. I think it is the little kid in me still!! Plus the milk always tastes better when the cereal has been in it :)
Oooh. I think I have to sit in the corner all by myself. I could not tolerate drinking the milk after the cereal. I find it really distasteful and would gag if I did. Also, I cannot add more cereal to the milk, because that too makes me gag because the milk is just too warm by then. I have become good at judging how much milk I use so I don't waste any. After my cereal, I have a teaspoon or two left. I either rinse it or see if my cat wants it.
I do drink it from the bowl when I am finished with the cereal. In fact so does my family!
yes. Hubby adds more cereal but I don't I drink the milk. My kids just dump it.
I don't normally drink the milk, but my husband always does.
For me it depends on the cereal, if it's plain like regular cheerios or shredded wheat I don't, but if it's honey nut Cheerios or frosted anything then the milk is the best part.
No way....I usually don't eat cereal with milk. I can't stand the taste of it....
I do not! Its all room temperate and guh by then! ewww! ;)
no..there usually is not milk left. I don't like a whole lot of milk because usually someone else comes along and starts picking pieces out with his hands (my 2 yr old)
No I think that's gross. I suppose if you're alone it's one thing, but in front of other people I would no sooner do that than I would pick up a bowl of soup and drink the remaining broth. I might spoon up the few remaining spoonfuls of milk but pick the bowl up and drink from it? Disgusting.
My son-YES, my husband-NO, myself-SOMETIMES
It really annoys my husband. When he sees it, he will complain about me teaching DS a "bad habit". However, it is something I grew up with.
He may think me strange, but I think he is strange because he mixes cereals. He will have half "kids" cereal and half "adult" cereal-at the same time. Eeeww.
I will finish it with my spoon if I have treated myself to some Cocoa Rice Krispies or Cocoa Puffs (but that is very rare)...my twins like to do it (they are six) and sometimes I will give them a straw to finish it so they don't spill it everywhere...my husband tips the bowl up and finishes it while my 13 year old daughter rarely does
usually I do, sort of depends on the cereal and if it makes the milk to sweet or like with shredded wheat sometimes the milk has all the pieces of the cereal and then i dont like it very much
Sometimes. Depends on how hungry I am.
I wonder if one needs to be taught to drink the milk?
I grew up one of 7 kids, so no question, there was no wasting milk. We all drank it.
But...I've had to teach my own kids to drink and not throw it away. Otherwise, they would not drink it unless I insisted. And interestingly, if I weren't there to guide them, they'd throw the milk in the cereal bowl away, and then go and get another glass to drink? What's that about?
So, my generation's motto.....waste not, want not.
I don't eat cereal with milk anymore, but when I did, OF COURSE you drink the milk right out of the bowl afterwords!
nope. I don't.
My husband doesn't either.
We pour it into a glass for our sweet-tooth son and he often does drink it.
I don't drink the milk but everyone else in my family does. My oldest son will even drink my milk when I am done!
Yes, of course!! Love cereal and love milk!
Depends on how full I am after eating all that cereal. My husband always drinks the milk no matter what. He's got a hollow leg.
yup with rice crispies yummm i couldnt do that with a sugary cereal
