In all fairness, I like some milk with my cereal too..

I usually let the cereal sit in the freezer, to soak up more milk, if I'm going to use a fork, and to prevent it from getting warm.. I like ice cold milk.

:confused: I still don't see the utility of using a fork? Can't you just use a spoon and spill the milk back into the bowl without loosing the cereal if you really want to save the milk?
I suppose I could, yeah. And I used to do it like that, before I found that using a fork was easier.. lol

Hrm, I'll have to put eating cereal with a fork on my to-do list then.

By sheer coincidence I bought a bag of Cocoa Rice Krispies just Monday, for the first time in over a decade. I think I'll try this fork idea tomorrow morning.

It's definitely a tradeoff. The cereal, especially the first few bites, is dryer than normal.

You know what, thinking about it.. I may have actually started this practice to make sure there is still milk left so I can pour another bowl.

Even more chocolaty! ;) lol

I used chopsticks once, just because I didn't have a spoon. Actually, my mom eats ice cream with a fork for some reason...never really figured that one out.

It's not normal but guess as long as its still fairly solid, there shouldn't be a problem, I've done it before.
