What the fuck to do with a half finished bowl of cereal filled with milk? The sink? Loads of mush. The bin? Too much liquid….

is there an answer?

pour the milk down the sink - holding the cereal back with the spoon - put the squashed soggy cereal in the bin.

crosspusscrossstitcher · 09/01/2023 13:33

Oh. and rinse both sink and bowl afterwards.

senua · 09/01/2023 13:34

Loo.

A27009D56 · 09/01/2023 13:37

I drink it

MisguidedGhosts · 09/01/2023 13:38

It depends what cereal it is.

The toilet?

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 09/01/2023 13:39

Sink strainer. Milk goes down the plug, cereal stays in the strainer and can be thrown away.

SagittariusDwarf · 09/01/2023 13:39

Add more cereal to use up the leftover milk.

Loo.

I do the spoon holding it back over the sink thing but this is so much better! Genius!

Get one of these for your plug hole, empty the cereal in the sink, empty the strainer in the bin.

Easy- prepare a smaller portion

inloveandmarried · 09/01/2023 13:43

If you haven't got a waste disposal (I miss mine so much) I tip it down the loo. I hate cleaning sinks.

WoolyMammoth55 · 09/01/2023 13:43

I've been known to get the sieve out if the cereal is completely disintegrating... But otherwise loo.

Flavabobble · 09/01/2023 13:46

Pour it back in the bottle surely.

Cats shouldn't have cows milk, should they?

This. I don't eat cereal but I tell my grandchildren to drink the excess milk otherwise it's a waste.

Sprig1 · 09/01/2023 13:51

Eat it. Why are you (presumably) regularly ending up with half a bowl if milky cereal left over?

Cravingsweets · 09/01/2023 13:52

I clicked on this thinking it was a post from a fellow gym-dodger!

I just hold the cereal back with the spoon while I put the milk down the sink, then throw the cereal in the bin.

Oh I have no idea but we only ever had almond milk anyway

AlwaysBelieveInYourSoul · 09/01/2023 13:54

loo? really?

AdaColeman · 09/01/2023 13:55

Put it in an old jar/lidded carton etc and put in general waste.

If this happens to you frequently, start serving smaller portions of cereal & milk.
