Personally, I prefer to let my cereals sit for 5 mins or so before eating them.. especially Peanut Butter Captain Crunch.. let that sit for a good 5 minutes or so, and it will be the soggy mush that cereal SHOULD be! My wife on the other hand, completely disagrees.. she gobbles down the cereal the instant she pours milk on it to make sure its as crunchy as possible.
