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.

    Who is out there saying soup had to be vegetarian, or that croutons make soup not soup? Half of the chart is a waste of potential controversy

    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? 😋🙃
