This just in: Rice Krispies too buoyant

Krispie conundrum finally solved

so there is always a bit of cereal in the milk, just enough for you to spoon up and then tip some more into the milk-trench below?

I presume so. This = a Muller Crunch Corner in reverse.

this will only exacerbate things

I agree, make the madness stop.

I do blame Muller for this actually - stupid Muller - the bit with the crunch is always just that BIT too small for the spoon and you end up with crumb dust flipping out of the pot and onto your clothes because the crunch has INEVITABLY been halfway beaten up by the time muggins here gets to it.

I think you need a eatmecrunchy cereal bowl, seems to solve many a problem!

OH MY GOD. that tops the list of things nobody knew they ever wanted. GENIUS.

not genius, it only works if you are "pushing the cereal in as required", precisely the requirement from which our ronan seeks his (surely deserved) liberation

i would never, ever complain about a thing about Rice Krispies, since it is obviously the best cereal on earth.

Cereals that float are a problem. Eating them in a deep, deep bowl is the only real solution.

in addition to cereal sog, if the milk was able to retain the same coolness throughout it might not be so bad.

Quite often I freeze a bowl in preparation for an ice-cold treat. Especially nice with a little milk added before freezing it!

omg deep bowl otm! i just had the best experience with a deep bowl and a lot of rice krispies

coco pops @ sugar puffs pwn all over krispies, even if they are splinter groups from krispies to begine with.

my gf got me some eatmecrunchy bowls a few years back. she paid some ridiculous amount of money for them cuz they weren't available in the states. they work pretty well tho

uh, wtf is an eatmecrunchy cereal bowl

Mixing cereals is also a delightful thing to do.

Chocolate Special-K is very good! The chocolate tastes real and while the chocochunks are not milk-soluble, they somehow does not turn into frozen, tasteless chococicles.

Raisin bran is :(

Plain bran cereal is :) x ∞

xp - ugh, I do NOT want that bowl. I like the sog.

eat quicker?

i don't know what anybody is complaining about anyway, i mean part of the fun is that they're floaty and they get all over the place and make noise. i mean come on

Snap crackle *plop*

i think that's been done, tbh

My only real problem with them (and Cheerios) is that due to my preferred milk/cereal ratio, the cereal overtops the bowl when I go in to spoon up some milk. Sometimes I use my palm to submerge the riceberg, but I don't need that sort of high maintenance kind of bullshit out of my cereal.

I have been seriously pwned by one Curt1s Stephens at my own failed zing

This thread reminds me of the brilliant bit in Cryptonomicon about eating Cap'n Crunch:

"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. ... The next-best thing is to work in small increments, putting only a small amount...in your bowl at a time and eating it all up before it becomes a pit of loathsome slime, which takes about thirty seconds in the case of Cap'n Crunch."

^^^ Weird synchronicity, just read this passage in the book yesterday!

I like the Cap'n's slime.
