Milk before Rice Krispies!

[JamesWebbSpaceTelescope]

Ad keeps playing on here - busylittleus or something like that. The mum puts the milk in the bowl before the Rice Krispies!

Surely that is just wrong.
(this is lighthearted in case anyone think this is the biggest problem in my life)

Not had Rice Krispies for many years - since I was a child. But I thought the whole selling point of them was putting the milk on afterwards and listening to the " snap, crackle and pop"?

Isn't it frightening how ads from so many years ago still take up space in the mind?

Edited to add I've now got visions of Tony the Tiger and Jeremy the Sugarpuff bear going through my head.

Madness. They will just float. Where is the joy in that?

How will they Snap Crackle and Pop. If you do that?!!

Milk first allows you to control the portion better. You can fill the bowl with the cereal and then the milk takes it overflowing from the bowl. I put milk first when I want to have lots and top the milk up with more cereal. I can drink the leftover milk.

It also keeps the cereal crispy for longer if you add it on top of the milk rather than soak it in milk by pouring milk over.

It's also useful if you are poor and have to ration your milk. You can choose the amount of milk, the cereal, and not risk too little milk for said cereal.

So I do both ways and do milk first often for the above reasons.

How do you know how much cereal you put in if you put milk in first as it floats?
