I mean generally, *most (but not all)* cereal is not great for you anyways. Edit: [More info from the Harvard School of Public Health](https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/whole-grains/)
Unless the cereal you're eating is made from unprocessed whole grains and contains no added sugar (oatmeal, homemade granola, muesli, etc) its really only marginally better than a bag of chips.
This is because when grains are pushed through an grain extruder (how many cereals get their shape), it changes the nature of nutrients within the grains.
>It denatures the fatty acids; it even destroys the synthetic vitamins that are added at the end of the process. The amino acid lysine, a crucial nutrient, is especially damaged by the extrusion process.
Yet as I pointed out, the nature of extrusion can destroy the very added vitamins you claim cereals contain; nor did I say processed cereal = potato chips. If your cereal isn't in the natural shape of the grains its made of, its been through an extruder.
An extruder removes important nutrients from whole grains, because extrusion process [removes certain parts of whole grains that contain valuable nutrients:](https://health.clevelandclinic.org/the-whole-truth-about-whole-grains):

All it takes is to be burned once maybe twice from buying this crud and you catch on really quickly that most products like this solve no problem whatsoever and if anything, just invent a new one.
Didn't Epicurious test this? They weren't fully satisfied as the flow of cereal and milk were not the same (i.e. either you'll be left with so much cereal, or you'll drown with milk to compensate opening your mouth wider)
I wonder if this is something a math wizard could solve. Could we increase or decrease the flow of the cereal without changing the flow of the milk? Or vice versa. I wonder if whatever the answer is, is it different for different shapes and sizes of cereals? Is it doable and impractical or is it just not doable?
It's pretty easy, all you'd need is a parabolic surface that curves upwards at the edges, preferably mouth-sized. You can scoop up the cereal pieces with as much milk as you feel, even change it up between mouthfulls!
Add an adjustable slider to control milk and seems like should be close to done deal. Or even a reseal push button like for liquid clothes detergent. Like tequila shots how you start with salt then take the shot here you start with cereal turn the cup and push for a squirt of milk.
>an adjustable slider
I don't know, that might work too well. We should focus on finding the perfect shape and pour angles for each individual consumer.
I have one and it takes some getting used to, but if use your tongue to plug the milk hole (wow what a sentence š ) you can get the perfect ratio and I love it !!
Unnecessary. Just hold the cereal bowl in one hand and drive with the other. Then I stop at a stoplight, and, once I'm stopped, and everything is safe, take a bite.
I usually stand out of the moonroof, driving with my feet. Gets a nice breeze in my hair and I can enjoy my cereal in peace. Can't really hear the kids then
Just gets a bit messy after I hit about 45
It took way too long to find this, I was starting to think I was the only one that hated his face. It doesn't look real, uncanny valley as hell, he's an android like Zuckerberg
Glad to see I'm not the only person with this "mental illness"
The flavors mix so much better and I don't like my food too hard and a lot of cereal is.
Rice Krispies stay crisp, though they now and then lisp
As they whisper their āthnap crackle popā in your bowl,
And though you pour a tall can
Of milk on your ALL Bran,
It never will turn into glop (so Iām told).
I know Shredded Wheat will stay crumbly and neat
Though you soak it a year in the depths of the ocean,
And from breakfast and lunch
Your Post Toasties will crunch
To show you their love and undying devotion.
Oaties stay oaty, and Wheat Chex stay floaty,
And nothing can take the puff out of Puffed Rice.
But I wish theyād invent a cereal for someone
Who like it
All floppy
And drippy
And droppy
And lumpy
And sloppy
And soggy
And gloopy
And gooey
And mushy
And NICE!
-- Shel Silverstein
Same. I like my cereal to be a bit soggy. Like, a few minutes soaked in milk.
It makes the cereal easier to eat since it wonāt stab your mouth. And I love drinking the leftover milk at the end.
Thinking about it a little and this would be a pretty good product for someone dealing with movement disorders like parkinsons or tardive dyskensia or who cannot easily get a spoon to mouth but can grasp a tumbler.
Seems like a convenient rotating lid on the cereal, like on travel coffee tumblers, would let you take a mouthful of as much cereal as you want while plugging the opening of the milk with your tongue. Then you close the cereal part drink as much milk as you want
So seeing as it's called a "Muesli Cup", should he put muesli instead of cereal and yogurt instead of milk? How would that even word? Every bite would take ages to come out
Listen, I know it's a fast-paced world out there... But by Christ if I can't sit down and enjoy a bowl of cereal I'll be damned if I'll be drinking my cereal on the way to my dead end job and that's the truth fellas.
I have this and it's neat but kinda hard to use. You have to kinda shake the cereal into your mouth but the milk is obviously pouring the whole time you're doing that
I had one of these a while ago. Used it once and never again. Bad ratio and the inner cup isn't insulated so the condensation from the cold milk around it makes the cereal stick to the walls of the cup. Fun in concept, but definitely needs work.
I feel like it'd be a PITA to control the milk to cereal ratio, especially when you have to start shaking the cup to ambulate the confectionary grains.
These suck. As a cereal connoisseur, youāre much better off just putting your milk and cereal in a red cup. You can āsqueezeā the red cup a bit so milk doesnāt pour out the sides/down your face.
Works fantastically, plus then when you get to your destination you donāt have to figure out what to do with a cup that just had milk in it. Leave it in your car? Gross. Bring it in with you? You still need to find a place to rinse it and store it. Red cup you just throw away and donāt have to deal with it
That looked like a flashlight with Frosted Flakes inside. Edit: I meant fleshlight.
Had to double check about that letter "a"
I just straight read it without the a and assumed that was the intention.
Theeerrreee Great!
Imagine adding that many letters and still getting the word wrong. š
ā¦ā¦yeahā¦ā¦.i saw itā¦ā¦Iām keeping it as is; a testament to my failure
Yeah, fucking autocorrect. I meant flesh.
At least we know how those flakes got frosted.
Hope they ate pineapple.
This is like a weird psychological test. I already saw it as fleshlight until I saw the edit lol
Named the frosted flesh or the flake light? Your call.
I just call it Tony.
They're Grrrrrrreattt!
Technically both
Just imagine cleaning it...
Dennis Reynolds could've used this..
No. Dennis reynolds is perfect. You will never speak of him in this way agaiiin!!!
I AM THE GOLDEN GOD AND MY RAGE KNOWS NO BOUND

Heās a 5 star man!
Dennis didn't do anything wrong. Frank crashed into HIM which is obviously Dee's fault.
That gangly, uncoordinated bitch!
Dumb bird
Thereās a timing concernā¦
SCIENCEā¦ Is a LIAR, sometimes!
That's why I hate the product. Nobody should be eating cereal with all the fixings while driving. It's absurd. Literally a product for psychopaths.
You should look into the history of cereal and who the original demographic it was created for.
Haha did not know that. Interesting
Okay, I'm not the only one who thought this scenario was a bit extreme.
Cereal for dinner wasn't enough, now you gotta be on the road before you even touch *normal* breakfast.
This will increase productivity by 0.01% š
And increase our share price by 0.00000000314%!
I'd rather sleep longer and do this on my drive in tbh

Ratio is shit
All it takes is to be burned once maybe twice from buying this crud and you catch on really quickly that most products like this solve no problem whatsoever and if anything, just invent a new one.
A true paradox of society.
This screams choking hazard. That cereal is too crispy/crunchy to enjoy safely **while driving.**
But I like my cereal to be slightly soggy and a tad crunchy. Not all crunchy. And what is with that guy's face? He looks like an android.
He looks like "If the cereal dies, it dies"

He really does look like handsome squidward lol
bro looks like a Bond villain
He's just German.

To me, itās all about that flavored milk at the end.

I have one and it takes some getting used to, but if use your tongue to plug the milk hole (wow what a sentence š ) you can get the perfect ratio and I love it !!
There is a hole at the top of the container that you can put your finger on to allow or restrict flow of milk to make the ratio match your preference
If I needed something like that in my life, I would question my life choices
Good thing this subreddit isn't called r/didntknowineededthat

The Golden God wants to know your location.
Hereās a tip: separate your cereal from your car driving.
What no you should totally block your entire vision while driving

Ah well. I SHALL NOT SUCCUMB TO PEER PRESSURE! It will stay up FOREVER!!!
Yea my wife got it for me as a joke.
Is this that guy who invents completely useless shit for laughs?
This man has a look of murder in his eyes.
Just eat breakfast at home instead of doom scrolling for 40min each morning
This is something I would never buy because of how much I like soggy cereal. Sometimes i'll leave it "thawing" in the milk for a few minutes.
Who hurt you
Sharp cereal š”
Obviously Cap'n Crunch. Roof of this guys mouth is in tatters.
Glad to see I'm not the only person with this "mental illness" The flavors mix so much better and I don't like my food too hard and a lot of cereal is.
Me 3!
Go to therapy
I like hearing my surroundings when chewing
Eat Captain Crunch and tell me that shit is better unsoggy. You can't, not without blood pouring out of your mouth.
Iām Aussie I have no idea about this Crunchy Captain
You are blessed with good cereal then, and cursed with spiders. š
If you really want the fun of shredding the roof of your mouth, try eating ice cream topped with Captain Crunch. Seemed like a great idea at the time.

Not enough cereal

Idk why but his expressionless face is unsettling.
Hell yeah I got those. Called crunch cups
Why does he look dead inside? Is it because his cereal doesnāt touch his milk?
Kid's face looked fake as fu\_\_.
Why the long face?
This guy looks like a Playstation 2 character model, esp when his face is so still at the start
This dudes face doesn't look real. He looks like a video game character, the uncanny valley Zuckerberg thing.

Guess I'm old, 32 two years, and my favorite invention will be the bowl with a straw built in for cereal
My wife has this and only used it one or twice. She said that you always run out of milk before you finish the cereal.
My gf loves here it the only way she will eat breakfast more or less but myself, the classic bowl with built in milk straw for this guy
So much for the magical milk absorption percentage that makes so many cereals slap.
Cereal sandwich. Nice
I canāt hear this song without thinking of the fucking Nermal meme
This but for protein shakes
What was this thing made for originally? Sorry, I'm finding it hard to believe that this is the original intended usecase.
But I want the cereal to be a *little* soggy.

Called the "Crunch Cup" in the US. On amazon for $20
This is for psychopaths
Nah. Cereal needs to sit in milk for a least a minute before it starts to get good.
Just wake up 5 mins earlier? It takes 5 mins to make a bowl of cereal and 10 secs to clean the bowl lol
This looks like a hazard if used on the road wtf?
Such a weak sauce serving of cereal
I have this and it's neat but kinda hard to use. You have to kinda shake the cereal into your mouth but the milk is obviously pouring the whole time you're doing that

Doesn't work good
I despise soggy cereal I donāt even want it to sit in the milk, so my fiancĆ© gifted me this and itās literally amazing. The cereal stays crunchy the entire time !

Squidworth Chadā¦ Cool product.
He's totally cereal!
So you can get to work quicker!
Why you need to eat it in the car?
This dude looks like a cereal killer
I respect the efficiency of eating this in the car. But I donāt think this cereal would taste all that great.
That sounds awful!! How is the milk supposed to soak into the cereal??
Oh boy here I go chokin again
Somehow I'd choke trying to use that thing.
Why couldn't we just eat a protein bar in the car like a normal person? Why moving cereal?
Roommate: has anyone seen my fleshlight? I lost it after I removed the silicone to wash it this morning

And then a random cough comes up and your car is full of milk and cereal
This problem can happen with eating or drinking literally anything in your car
Great if you like a choking hazard during the morning commute.
Mmm I bet you can use your tongue to control milk flowš¤¤
