2. Milk, to wet the cereal

3. White sugar, to stick to the wet cereal

This is the only way to prepare cereal, and the only allowable cereals are raisin bran, corn flakes (not Frosted Flakes), original Special K, shredded wheat, Chex and Cap'n Crunch (for which it is allowed, but not required, to omit step 3). Cereal must be eaten with toast with butter and, optionally, jam, jelly or marmalade.
the only acceptable cereal is nesquick ceareal topped with nesquick syrup, eaten with nesquick poptarts

I don't eat cereal and milk. I either go milk-less or eat grain cereal and yogurt (yogurt first).

The cereal.

The cereal’s supremacy at the breakfast table, it’s increasingly hegemonic character, is in my view, an Increasingly indisputable fact.

Half a century ago you could say, “hey maybe the milk can have a go at being first.” In this day and ago? Not so much.

Cereal first, good grief. How do you keep it from splashing the milk? How do you know you have enough milk?

Why get the spoon last? What if the spoon makes some of the milk spill out of the bowl?

Haha I got the last spoon. Don't think you're clever holding the milk like that. I put some in a jug last night.

Technically, bowl first. But that's boring unless we're talking about people who eat cereal on, I don't know, plates.

1. Spoon.
2. Weetbix.
3. Rice bubbles.
4. Milk
5. Take a few steps.
6. Eat the first spoonfulls.
7. Sit down
8. Finish eating

Exclusively in that order. Barring accidents.

Bowl first, then cereal, then milk and finally the spoon, in that order.

I use the spoon to crush the cereal into a powder, line it up nice and neat with the cardboard flap from the box, and then snort it through a straw. Sometimes I drink the milk afterward.

Yes, because the bowls and spoons are not as important as the order of cereal and milk.
