Very important (and serious) poll: order of construction of a bowl of cereal

Please place all cereal consumption bias aside.

There is a very heated debate raging in my house at the moment. It revolves around the order the following (placed here in alphabetical order) should go into a bowl:

Cereal (in this case it's biscuits of wheat)
Milk
Topping (in this case honey).

I don't eat cereal myself, but do have an opinion on this highbrow discussion. Though I shall keep my opinion to myself this first post, so not to sway the answers.

Cereal, milk, topping.
I don't do toppings, but they go, by definition, on the TOP. Addition of milk after the topping washes the topping off the top, causing it to become a floating.

  1. Weetabix (x 1 or 2) in bowl
  2. Drown it/them in properly cold milk straight from fridge + mush up a bit.
  3. Eat.

No toppings but obviously they would go on top (= last)

Definitely no heating whatsover.

Cereal then milk. I don't do toppings, but if I did they'd be last.

Any other way and the person is a monster.
Pretty much the train of thought in our house from one side of the debate. Or at least varying descriptions that mean monster.

My thinking is a topping is a topping, so goes on top.

"Surely you have to put the cereal in first so you can calibrate how much milk to pour - it can be surprisingly little in order to cover the cereal"

But surely the purpose of the milk is not to cover the cereal? It is there to moisten
