Pour cereal. Pour milk. As soon as boyancy causes the cereal to rise, stop pouring the milk.

Perfect every time. 👌

1. Use a square bowl placed on top of a circular plate.
2. Add 11 parts water, then 2 parts cereal, using a mix of ancient Babylonian and traditional Japanese volumetric units (bonus points if you don’t actually convert them).
3. Heat in the oven at 709 °R for exactly 73,037 ms. (Is that a decimal or thousand separator? Ask your local mathematics teacher.)
4. Once heated, let it cool to exactly room temperature by placing it outside (regardless of the weather).
5. Add a generous layer of cold ketchup on top, forming a smiley face.

Optional: Garnish with a sprig of mint and serve with a side of existential dread. Bon appétit!

Just enough so that, by the time I finish the cereal, there’s only a little milk left.

Edit: The way I do it is to have a layer of granola on the bottom, then a layer of whatever floaty cereal on top. When I fill it with milk, it’s a little bit below the top layer so that it’s just a little less than what would make it float. That usually gives me the perfect ratio.

As soon as the cereal starts to float, I stop pouring milk.

I don’t know but for me having the ratio hit at the end of my meal could take just a bowl or a whole box. But I ain’t stoppin’ until the cereal and the milk are gone at the same time.

Assuming enough of both, i still randomly pick between under, over, and evenly milked.

Just add milk until the entire pile of cereal starts to lift. Usually when the milk reaches the base level of the cereal itself.

I don’t have cereal often, but when I did, its making sure the cereal is flat and even (as opposed to being piled up in the middle of the bowl like a mountain made of cereal), then pour the milk so that the milk, almosts reach the line where the height of the cereal was, and at the same time some cereal starts to float, and most of the cereal is submerged. I wait for my cereal to get just slightly soggy, then start eating.

(I don’t observe other people eating cereal btw, and IDC about what the cereal eating “norms” there are 🤷‍♂️)

The correct ratio is the ratio you want.

1 cup cereal, 1tsp powdered milk, 1/2 cup faucet water. Make sure the water is warm so that the powdered milk mixes better.

That depends on whether the cereal has the Crunch Enhancer, a non-nutritive cereal varnish. It’s semi-permeable, non-osmotic. It coats and seals the cereal, keeps it crunchy.

Sometimes I just eat the cereal without milk

Fill the bowl with cereal nearly to the brim, then add milk until the cereal is at risk of spilling out.

I just fill the bowl with a lot of milk then take the box of cereal with me, and keep refilling until either I’m full or the milk’s all gone.

Input milk until bowl is halfway full, or over third full, depending on the size of the bowl.

Input cereal until bowl is full of cereal but cereal is still floating.
