What size spoon do you use

[WhichSpoon]

to eat cereal?

Having a very important debate with the DCs, they think it is normal to use a teaspoon to eat cereal, I think most people use a dessert spoon. Dd1 says I'm just old and all the young people use the trendy teaspoon.

YABU - You must have a HUGE mouth, of course the dainty teaspoon is the way to go

YANBU - How can you fit ample cereal and milk on a teaspoon, only a dessert spoon will support a satisfying mouthful

Always a teaspoon for cereal - always

Nooooooooo!

Dessert spoon (only teens would have the time it takes to eat cereal with a teaspoon)

And im old!

Soup spoon 😂

It tastes nicer from a teaspoon but it has to be the special one.

I only ever use a teaspoon for my mouth, whether that’s for desserts, soup or cereal.

A dessert spoon, doesn't everyone?

@feelinglikeanewparent now I could get on board with a soup spoon, and @Ttwinkletoes absolutely, who has time for 100 tiny mouthfuls every morning!

Tea spoon makes you feel fuller

Well unfortunately it would seem not 🙄

Serving spoon - a large one.

Teaspoon - less faffing around trying to get the last bits.

Dessert spoon always.

Wow, impressive

I have a spoon I use for cereal and ice cream only, called my Special Spoon. Seriously. As a child, I got attached to it, and I took it with me when I left home. I've used it for 40+ years. It's about half way between a teaspoon and a desert spoon, but it's sort of elongated and pointy. Is that a bit weird of me? I don't care if it is, it's my special spoon.

Big spoon for soup or cereal, small spoon for dessert. Makes it last longer.

We have some ASDA teaspoons that are bigger than most teaspoons and they’re my favourites for dessert. They have a friendlier handle too.

Desert spoon, unless they're all in the dishwasher then I'll use teaspoon as a last resort

Yep me too. It’s just nicer.

Are you going to tell me a fork is wrong?

The conversation came about because Dd1 kindly got me a dessert spoon to eat my tiny chocolate dessert pot thingy, and I said thank you, but I'm going to get a tea-spoon, she argued that because I oddly used a dessert spoon for cereal, she presumed I did for everything else too. I said it's not odd to eat cereal with a dessert spoon, hence the debate.

It would take forever to eat cereal with a teaspoon. That’s weird 😂

It is weird, yet all three of my DC do it, Dh and I do not 🤔

Teaspoon all the way! (Or, ideally, the 'latte spoons' we have that are teaspoons with long handles we use for puddings too). ALWAYS a teaspoon.

Whatever spoon I pick up first 🤷
