Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.
Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I’m eating it “in public:” hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I’m more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

I always drink from the bowl, I eat fries and burgers with my hands, sometime I like drinking from a straw and much more. If other people aren’t happy, that’s their problem, keep doing it if you like it!
I like dipping my fries in the milkshake.

The morning bus ride just isn’t the same without a fresh bowl of raisin bran.
I definitely judge the kind of person who leaves milk in the bowl as if it were a waste product of cereal consumption and not half the point.
I’m so confused by this whole thread. I’m quite upset that some people are throwing away this food. Just use less milk FFS! I volunteer with a food-waste-prevention environmental group. Over 1/3 of all food that’s grown is wasted and so it really annoys me when people don’t eat everything they put on their plate. Plus I grew up poor so I still can’t fathom people being so wasteful.
As for everyone else, you ate most of your milk with the spoon, why can’t you finish the job with the spoon? Do you all have strangely shaped bowls that make it impossible or something?
I’m feeling an intense culture shock (given how minor this thing is) from this. Kinda reminds me of the two ways to wipe thing from a while back, where it never even occured to me that there’s a different way than just using your spoon. Crazy.
Moving (reluctantly) past it sounding like you wipe with a spoon - what are the two ways to wipe? I had no idea there were other ways…
Standing up or sitting down
Do you… not drink the milk from the cereal bowl…?
I’m a man in my mid 40s and I have no problem drinking the milk straight from the bowl.
Why waste the milk? That sounds insane. Of course I drink the milk (or I did before becoming lactose intolerant).
What’s the alternative? Just pour it down the drain? Absolutely not.
Worse to waste food (milk in this case) than to be seen drinking it from a bowl.
I’d rather not let milk go to waste.
Late 30s. Hell yes I drink the milk. That’s the whole reason I ate the cereal.
Yes. Yes I do.
Unequivocally, yes.
If you were asking this to a global audience, it would definitely be an extreme minority. About 70% of the adult population of the world is lactose intolerant.
I just like mentioning that statistic because white people usually don’t believe me. 😁
I’m white, lactose intolerant, and drink the oat milk from the bowl when I have cereal.
I encourage the kids to do the same with their cows milk.I’m not lactose intolerant but I’ve ibd and depending on how my disease is going I might not be able to drink milk, I’m also white. I thought lactose intolerance was widely known about?
Most people don’t realize that lactose tolerance is the unusual condition. I do think most people know lactose intolerance exists though, yeah.
I’ll feel more self-conscious if I’m wasting food. And no, unless you’re particularly loud, no one is judging you for how you’re having something.
