I hear you. Eating cereal is a science that is not to be taken lightely. Quality control in its serving is also critical business. I pour fairly small to medium sized quantities into the bowl, just enough to time it such that the last mouthful is not overly soggy by the time I'm through. I'd rather pour three or four smaller bowls of cereal and enjoy it while it's still crisp and while the milk is cold than pour one giant bowl and end up with soggy shit before I'm done.
Lately I've been on an organic milk kick too, and use 1% or 2% milk that's at least a week or so away from expiration.
A true cereal champ would pay close attention to these details!
And yes, Lucky Charms rocks, right alongside of Count Chocula. Is that stuff still on the market?
