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.

    I thought the rock stars fixed that ages ago.

    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.

    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

    Vanilla soy latte is a three-bean soup.

    Neither coffee nor vanilla is a bean. Coffee is a seed of the coffea family and vanilla is an orchid

    If cereal can be a soup, coffee can be a bean.

    Soup is a dish preparation. While I am fine with arguing that even drinkable coffee is a soup or broth and cereal has soup like properties. No, coffee is a very different part of the plant kingdom than legumes or orchids. If you just call a blue whale a bird, it does not become even remotely true.

    That only happens if you reverse your arbitrary categorisations and let them dictate your feelings about things, instead of realising that categorisations are a) arbitrary and b) can be refined.

    Cereal has to, at least, involve a cereal like rice or oats or whatever as the main ingredient.

    You mean, like... Corn?!?!

    Vegetable soup (with corn) has entered the chat

    And my point stands.

    Also, you and your strict interpretation of 'cereal' have room to talk right after lecturing me about arbitrary categorizations... Sounds like someone needs to take their own advice, eh? 😋🙃

    You don't even need to add 2 things together. Cereal is great on its own

    I've yet to meet a cereal that was better dry. Some came damned close (Cracklin' Oat Bran is my fave), but still not better.

    Depends which cereal we're talking about. I've watching those 'lets make lucky charms / something with chocolate' videos and they're basically making a complicated soup, solidifying it, and cutting it up into tiny pieces, just to make a basic soup of milk afterwards.

    The weirdest thing to me was realising zalot of cereals already contain milk. Actual liquid milk, that is, baked in.
