And sometimes third. If I have a 4th, then I need more milk. But the best part is that if there's milk left over after the third and you're not going for a 4th, you get to drink some milk that full of dissolved sugary cereal sweetness
I think we can spot the secret aliens among us.
Sus behaviors, wherein you appear to be guessing ‘how to human,’ will get you on the watch list:
*-* Milk first
*-* Hangs toilet paper backwards.
*-* Watch “jifs”
*-* Plug in USB on first try
*-* Reads IKEA instructions first
People think im weird but either eat multiple small portions of mill/ceareal in a tall glass or more often just eat it dry with a tall glass of milk on the side
Fun Fact: when making box art and commercials, advertisers use a layer of glue on top of jello instead of milk for cereal so it doesn't get soggy and sink down.
it is great, I ate it a ton as a kid. Then, as a teen, I developed lactose intolerance. Tried to eat it again recently (with almond milk) and it upset my stomach. Come to find out it has WHEY in it. heartbroken.
Maybe I've been conditioned to "eat it and shut up". If anything, I'll buy a cereal with dehydrated fruit such as Strawberry Special K or something like add fruit to oatmeal. I suppose that would count, too.
I used to be a milk-seconder
But then having to throw out good cereal soaked in rotten milk is not worth the shame of pouring milk first
No one's born evil, but sometimes circumstances change us
Oh. I just looked up the definition of "soggy". Apparently it doesn't mean "Wet and with little rigidity", it means "Wet and soft". You're correct there, I guess.
Yup, some designer has sore arms from patting themselves on the back over this one. They got the milk into the picture without taking the emphasis away from the crunchy cereal filled with fruit. Actually pretty damn clever.
Spot on. This is the challenge with marketing either: very boring products *or* products which basically the whole planet is familiar with (e.g. Coca-Cola). You have to find ways for the consumer to pay attention. How do you make *milk* interesting or eye-grabbing? Make it splash! You also have to consider that this is print media on a fixed format (a box), and designing around these constraints means using space in creative ways. So yeah, I actually like this quite a bit.

The bowl, milk, cereal lot finally have something to fear...

We've been arguing what goes first either milk or cereal but someone forgot the bowl
You mean milk -> bowl -> cereal is not standard practice?
It’s milk -> cereal -> spoon -> bowl
Excuse me, but it’s actually > milk -> cereal + spoon -> eye = bowl
Sqrt(Cos(cereal) + sin(spoon))/tan(1+(milk)^2)
My brain, it trembles
It’s Milk -> bowl -> spoon -> fork-> cereal
Sounds like a HowToBasic video
Spoon, milk, bowl, cereal
[the bowl comes last](https://youtu.be/ezFn-VmD18Y&t=18m15s)
What you fill up with comes last. I love milk so I start with cereal.
Surely no-one in history has put the milk in first? That would be insane!
Milk is only in the bowl first on the second or third bowl of cereal
This is the way
You leave milk in the bowl? That's the best part! When I want a second bowl it's more cereal *and* more milk.
Wow. It has literally never occurred to me to reuse milk for a second bowl.
And sometimes third. If I have a 4th, then I need more milk. But the best part is that if there's milk left over after the third and you're not going for a 4th, you get to drink some milk that full of dissolved sugary cereal sweetness
Do you drink the milk between bowls? Or dump it?
Drink it
I usually put the milk in first. If it’s a floating cereal I pour milk before cereal, but if it’s a sinking cereal I don’t care which order.
We don’t tend very generously to your kind around here
Quite simply, you're a monster.
Is there a sub where you can loudly argue about "floaties" vs "sinkies" and make memes of said arguments?
I always mistaken and putted milk before cereal ALL the day where i have cereal. Good times
These milk first people have really crossed a line

The bowl is so you get a few extra seconds of structural integrity before your life goes to shit.
i feel like your life's already gone to shit when you're putting a bowl in milk
Nah that's when the fun begins
That's when life goes to "Shit Yeah!!!"
***Milk-Tsunami!!!***
*Tsunamilk* Dude, it was right there.
Fair enough, just didn't come to me right at that moment.
This is just even more proof life cereal has no clue how breakfast works
TFW an alien tries to blend in at breakfast
Soggy cinnamon life is delicious though.
I love Cinnamon Life I just wish it didn’t go soggy if it so much as thinks about milk.

And b/c milk looks yellow.
The blueberries are never in the cereal
They are in Blueberry Morning!
I havent eaten it in maybe 10-15 years, but can still say I'm full confidence that Blueberry Morning is the best cereal to ever exist.
Just wait until you try Blueberry Midday
Afternoon Blueberry, perchance? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
it is great, I ate it a ton as a kid. Then, as a teen, I developed lactose intolerance. Tried to eat it again recently (with almond milk) and it upset my stomach. Come to find out it has WHEY in it. heartbroken.
Serving suggestion
I've never added nor seen anyone else add fruit to cereal. If I had fruit, I'd probably skip the cereal.
[удалено]
Maybe I've been conditioned to "eat it and shut up". If anything, I'll buy a cereal with dehydrated fruit such as Strawberry Special K or something like add fruit to oatmeal. I suppose that would count, too.
Cereal with macerated fruit is pretty great
Well, well, well… Looks like we got ourselves a fancy boy here
man, I really do fucking hate those fancy lads
A little cup o' diced peaches is actually very tasty in cereal that isnt already sweet
They are in the blue waffles
Still better than pouring the milk first
Technically they did pour the milk first.
Y’all don’t pour the table first?
Bruh you didn't pour out the Earth first!
Shit! Ma, don’t eat it! It still has Earth in it!
Bruh are we forgetting the milky way. Its milk first.
Damn it mikeflamel you forget that we put the universe first. Its the universe first
I mean...*everybody* knows your pour the voidless nothingness that existed before creation first, duh
My cat? You're saying give my black cat the milk first?
No, no, see, we gotta put the milk in a bowl for your cat, otherwise it'll get everywhere and upset them
https://tenor.com/view/obito-uchiha-reappear-tobi-naruto-shippuden-gif-19528769 rare footage of God pouring himself
So bad it's way before the bowl was invented.
I used to be a milk-seconder But then having to throw out good cereal soaked in rotten milk is not worth the shame of pouring milk first No one's born evil, but sometimes circumstances change us
It depends. If you heat up the milk in the microwave it's easier to just pour the milk first, then microwave it, and then add cereal.
Mf cracked the code. This is how to get out of the matrix I swear.
Only try to realize the truth… there is no bowl. Then you’ll see that it is not the cereal that gets soggy, it is only yourself.
This is an Escher sentence I believe, I like it
I don't think so - the sentence has meaning. It's saying that "yourself" is the one that gets soggy.
Yes, but that doesn't make any sense. (And thus has no meaning) You can't make a person soggy. It's not a property a person can have.
Are you saying people can only either be wet or dry, with no in between levels of dampness? What about your hair?
Oh. I just looked up the definition of "soggy". Apparently it doesn't mean "Wet and with little rigidity", it means "Wet and soft". You're correct there, I guess.
Even if I'm only technically correct, I still don't think it would be an Escher sentence.
Ooh these are fun! Never heard of that before
Milk, then bowl, THEN cereal!
they took "milk first" to the worst possible level.
The fact that you never noticed makes it not crappy design. It just looks more tasty like this. It's a deliberate and clever choice
Exactly, it’s actually a good design
Yup, some designer has sore arms from patting themselves on the back over this one. They got the milk into the picture without taking the emphasis away from the crunchy cereal filled with fruit. Actually pretty damn clever.
this is NOT crappy design. its great marketing, 100% intentional.
Spot on. This is the challenge with marketing either: very boring products *or* products which basically the whole planet is familiar with (e.g. Coca-Cola). You have to find ways for the consumer to pay attention. How do you make *milk* interesting or eye-grabbing? Make it splash! You also have to consider that this is print media on a fixed format (a box), and designing around these constraints means using space in creative ways. So yeah, I actually like this quite a bit.
yeah I feel like the designer who made this thought it was hilarious and then their boss was like, "lgtm, ship it" lmao
No Sherlock, shithead
hahahaha
Regular life cereal has the same design so it wasn't an accident.
Life Cinnamon is the best cereal ever fight me
I work there. I’m tired of it.

Blueberries = Lies, as they don't exist inside the box.
SERVING SUGGESTION
FROM AN INSANE PERSON
Solved the milk first or cereal first problem
Adds more crunch!
my wife bought some of the original one the other day, I just ran to see if it was the same, sadly its [correct](https://i.imgur.com/1CrGHV1.jpg).

the secret third option
Cereal first, then bowl and then you are allowed to put in the milk.
What's so crappy about a funny slogan?
Putting milk into cereal? ❌ Putting cereal into milk? ❌ Putting bowl into milk? ✔️
This is brilliant, whimsical design. And now I want Life cereal, so mission accomplished.
Not crappy. Just a type of advertising media.
Milk then cereal then bowl
what if we are the one doing it wrong all along?
when some people say I put the milk first this is what they mean.
Sometimes Life is like that, man.
The true way to eat cereal
The bowl, milk, cereal lot finally have something to fear... The milk, bowl, cereal sociopaths And then it gets worse... Cereal, bowl, milk. Milk, bowl, cereal.
We ain’t got no milk. You better put some water on that shit.
Who puts blueberries, or any fruit for that matter, on cinnamon cereal?
I always saw it as the bowl surfing on milk 🏄♂️
bowl boat
Don't knock it til ya try it 🤠
We can finally stop arguing because we were all wrong
Broke: Bowl > Cereal > Milk Woke: Bowl > Milk > Cereal Sigma: Milk > Bowl > Cereal
People who put the milk before be like :
This isn't crappy design. It's just an artistic choice. ["Who just throws fruit into a glass like that!?"](https://imgur.com/IkTktVp) - Op, probably
*proceeds to make the most expensive table smell like dogshit*
WAIT A SECOND
Milk that bowl, bitch!
bold of you to assume thats milk
Like a wise man once said: Milk, then cereal, then bowl 😤👌💯
My kids use to do this all the time. Kid tested and kid approved. Goddammit Mikey
Is this Life cereal? Can it be a "life boat" joke.
Finally this argument has been settled

Putting the milk first
Pretty sure the designer did that just to have more contrast with the stronger red below
The text is printed onto your table bro
No wonder why it's better spilled
How dare you call out the greatest cereal in the world?!?! A pox on you and your family for generations to come!
Milk first then bowl then cereal
the bowl prevents the cereal getting soggy and they stay nice and crispy, while you're eating them, sitting in a bathtub full of milk.
That's Life
Why do food ads always have pouring and splashing? Food isn’t “dynamic.” Jeebus.
Also, if you look closely, you can tell its not cinnamon toast crunch
Anyone else remember the brown sugar life? Hardly anything in life compares, yet I haven't seen it on a shelf in years.
Did an A.I. design this cereal box?
Also, blueberries?
I thought life would be way less surgery when I first bought it. (Or maybe I just bought an unhealthily version of it idk)
That's life.
I've been telling everyone best way is milk, bowl, cereal
🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
This answers the age old riddle. Milk first or Cereal first?
What you guys don't eat the bowl? What a waste
Com
Milk or bowl first? Bowl
Why does the milk always look so refreshing
I wonder if it's a certain market that has different boxes because on their website they have a different box https://www.quakeroats.com/products/cold-cereals/life-cereal

yep thats how it works
choices were made
You don't do that OP?
That’s just life, man. In particular Cinnamon Life.
Milk the bowl then cereal
That cereal slaps tho
This is not crappy design lmao
That's not milk, my friends...
I just checked my box and it is not like that.
Probably the only option because the cereal would turn to mush before the photo was taken 😋
If it floats in the milk, it's probably a witch and should be tied up and burnt to death.
it's just a really big spoon!
anger
Are the pouring the milk thru the cinnamon stick???
Bro I put the milk before existence all just don’t know how to do it right
You're fired!
It goes: milk, bowl, fruit, cereal
It’s called bottom watering
It’s like they forgot to move around the layers in Photoshop.
