The Right Amount Of Milk



This may seem trivial to you, but hey, what is the Internet if not a vast repository of all things trivial?

For your convenience, I present below a chart listing the right amount of milk for popular breakfast cereals.  Now this, my cyber-friends, is news you can use!
 
 

Cereal

Suggested Amount of Milk

Comments

Cap'n Crunch
Heavy
Gallons of milk needed to offset asbestos-like fibers designed to rip your mouth to shreds.
Grape-Nuts
Moderate
You'd think "Heavy" would be the right amount; unfortunately, those crafty grain engineers at Post have designed each Grape-Nut to absorb up to sixteen times its weight in milk.  So no matter how much your pour on, it is practically impossible to over-milk a bowl of Grape-Nuts.
Rice Krispies
Light to Moderate
Again, the absorption factor comes in to play.  You really have to be careful here, because whatever they're making Rice Krispies out of (and believe you me, I don't think it's rice), it tears like wet tissue paper with just a little too much milk.  So don't even think about a big pour here, unless you like a bowl of runny, rice-flavored Kleenex.
Quaker Instant Oatmeal
None
Please.  It's instant oatmeal.  Leave it alone.
Quaker Oatmeal (Cooks in 1 Minute)
None
Come on.  This is hardly any better.
Quaker Oatmeal (Cooks in 5 Minutes)
A dash
Oh, fine, if you must.  Throw in a splash and call it "creme" if you absolutely must feel Continental.
Corn Chex
Heavy
Industrial strength cereal at work here; don't worry, your Chex can handle it!  Milk away!
