I am 48 years old and I’ve never worked out…

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?

serve a smaller amount so there’s no waste

Our kitchen has a waste disposal (fitted by the previous owners) which is perfect for this sort of thing. Before that we used a sink strainer like pp describe.

I wouldn’t put it in the toilet. My husband does this and it drives me crazy as usually it’s too light to flush it all down and then it’s floating. Urgh

We give it to the cat. She’s 18 and we’ve been doing it for years so I don’t think it’s doing her any harm. She loves the end of a yogurt too.

What @crosspusscrossstitcher said.

And stop pouring more than you need.

Get flatter, wider bowls, serve a little less cereal and pour on a lot less milk. This gives you space to move the cereal as you eat it, so you don't get dry first mouthfuls, or soggy remnants floating in 30p's worth of wasted milk.

Cant believe people put food down the loo 😩

Do you know what poo is made from??

OP my kids always eat half their cereal (until I give them half and then they want seconds) this is the BANE of my life. I try and pour milk down the sink and the cereal in the food bin. So annoying though. Some cereal always ends up in the sink. Ugh!

An illustration of why those 70s bowls of your mum's are superior for cereal to the big rounded modern ones.

Me too!

You've never come across this before? @Flameshame

Tip into sink drainer then put drained cereal into bin.

Another toilet tipper here...same for chunky soup or anything similar. Just chuck some toilet roll on top and it will all flush away.

You wouldn't would you? There would be bits of cereal in the milk bottle.

Nope

Toilet

Err, isn't this what sieves are for?

I do toilet, but then read that it was bad for plumbing, so who knows.

Not really, I'd drink it. But I hate food waste.

If you end up throwing it away, I can't begin to understand why you'd carry on pouring too much?

Do people really throw food down the toilet?! 🥴

Only if it's the same consistency of vomit

I keep a small pile of sturdy cereal / plastic food bags for this. I pour it in there and bin it. The best one is the plastic wrapper the dough balls come in. I call them 'gunk bags'.

My dog finishes it off. I use oat milk on cereal, so it's all ok

Mine goes in the loo too, the vomit analogy my feeling too.

Toilet. I do this with soup too.

Lol at the poster who’s horrified that people put food down the loo - I m an, what do you think poo and vomit contain?!

It's not that, it's that drainage systems aren't set up for food, so anything that doesn't break down as easily as shit can cause a problem. I think saturated Rice Krispies are probably okay though…
