I don’t buy your Hughes-esque problems with paperboard milk cartons.

PS: tilt the bowl, if anyone got past the horrid, horrid English and to the point of my response.

Wait.. this isn’t fark?

If they don’t make it so the little shelf is simply fit into the bowl after you put in the milk, and is removable, I’ll agree with Bricology on that point.

But damnit, I UNDERSTAND THIS PRODUCT. sort of. It’s not that you want the bowl of cereal to be extant from t3h milx. You want just that part to be separated. It’s just a fetish. I’m telling you, as a kid, I mushed the cereal into one part of the bowl, the wet part, and spread other parts of the cereal to the other side of the bowl, the dry part. I’d separate, combine, and generally muck about with this arrangement, learning, the process about ELECTRICAL STATIC and GRAVITY and wetness and taste and maybe even some chemistry.

My parents used plastic milk cartons and all the FLORAL ESSENCE LITES have LEEEEEECHED out my VITAL FLUIDS.

I’m super serial.

Bring on the cereal killer!

So it would seem this product was designed for people like me. But, I also only like cereal if there’s a lot of milk in every spoonfull and this seems hard to accomplish with this design.

My solution: I poor a big bowl of milk, then I poor a little bit of cereal on top of the milk, eat it immediately and poor a little more. I repeat this absurd process until my breakfast is done. It’s been working great and I’ve been a cereal eater for the last 3 years thanks to this method.

And when I eat Rocks’n'twi. . . . I mean Grapenuts I want to see ‘em swimming in milk. Butterfly, backstroke, even the Crawl is fine, but damnit, they’d better be swimming or I’m adding more milk.

(and they’re better after they soften a bit anyway)

Here is the specific part:

World-class cereal-eating is a dance of fine compromises. The giant heaping bowl of sodden cereal, awash in milk, is the mark of the novice. Ideally one wants the bone-dry cereal nuggets and the cryogenic milk to enter the mouth with minimal contact and for the entire reaction between them to take place in the mouth. Randy has worked out a set of mental blueprints for a special cereal-eating spoon that will have a tube running down the handle and a little pump for the milk, so that you can spoon dry cereal up out of a bowl, hit a button with your thumb, and squirt milk into the bowl of the spoon even as you are introducing it into your mouth.

It’s cereal people. Get a grip.

Someone who fills a big bowl with cereal and covers it with milk is getting what they deserve, either because they like it that way, or because they can’t figure out why it’s not the way they want it to be.

Next week: a protective helmet for people who can’t figure out how to stop hitting themselves on the head with a 2×4.

What kind of cereal do you eat?!?

And if you can’t bend back paper to make milk pour, you fail.
