Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.

    If you were asking this to a global audience, it would definitely be an extreme minority. About 70% of the adult population of the world is lactose intolerant.

    I just like mentioning that statistic because white people usually don’t believe me. 😁

      I’m white, lactose intolerant, and drink the oat milk from the bowl when I have cereal.
      I encourage the kids to do the same with their cows milk.

      I’m not lactose intolerant but I’ve ibd and depending on how my disease is going I might not be able to drink milk, I’m also white. I thought lactose intolerance was widely known about?

    How about you do you? If they’re going to judge or exclude you for drinking some cereal milk from the bowl, who needs those people anyway? Scan the room while you drink the cereal bowl milk and identify the small minded judging you and rule them out as individual unworthy or your consideration.

    Be happy, enjoy life. Jump in puddles and sing!

    There is no other option. Thou shalt drink thy cereal-flavored milk.

    Most bowls suck for this though, too flat on top. Disposable bowls are the worst.

    It’s not just flavored, it also has all the vitamins and minerals that floated off the cereal (or were in the milk in the first place). Drink up, for health!

    I actually hate the milk left in the cereal bowl, it’s so interesting to hear people enjoy it, but I do it because my parents would scream at me if I ever left a crumb of food (we were quite poor to be fair).

    Of course I drink it

    It bothers the hell out of me that my roommate doesn’t

    He also barely puts any milk on his cereal

    I grew up not having a lot of food so I guess you could say I grew up to be a bit of a bougie bitch with my food now
