Do you like soggy cereal?

Maybe it's a personal preference, but, I hate soggy cereal. Ever since I was five years old, sitting at the breakfast table picking through gooey Kellogs corn flakes, I've loathed soggy cereal. I'm not sure why but my mom would put the milk on the cereal way before we got to the table. Being a kid I was always convinced that she did it on purpose. But, that's conspiracy thinking. As a mom now, I realize that it was just one of those things you do in a rush without thinking. Either way, it didn't taste good. And, I thought that everyone shared my intense dislike for soggy cereal, but not so. My little kid loves soggy cereal, and so does my spouse. That's just weird. So, what about you? Are you part of the soggy cereal haters club? Or, do you prefer a little mush to your breakfast cereal?

It's nice and good to bite crunchy cereals. I have never really thought about this before since I'm not a big fan of cereals. But as I try to realize I think I didn't mind soggy cereals. However now that I'm thinking of it it makes me not want them. As far as I'm concerned I hate soggy noodles. I think you have have the same feeling with me just with different food. When I see soggy noddles makes me think of baby food and my appetite is gone.

Soggy noodles are no good, that's for sure! I hate overcooked rice. It fluffs up too much and gets soggy. Microwave pizza gets soggy too. Not good.

I've never had shredded wheat. How does it taste? My current brand is Kellogs Raisin Bran Crunch. The Crunch is the granola.

Yeah, I have to agree with you on this. I dislike soggy cereal too. There's something really yucky about eating a bowl of cereal that has been in liquids for far too long. It's the one thing I'd avoid during breakfast. Usually, I make sure that I pour out only a little of the cereal at the time, then pour in the milk. Then I'd eat it all up in a hurry because I want to make sure that I eat everything before it starts to become soggy.

Hee, I actually prefer it soggy than crunchy. I don't know if the top gums (inside of my mouth) are just delicate or what, but when something is really crunchy it sometimes scrapes me up there. So I usually like to let it sit for a bit. And plus, I don't have to chew that much when it's soggy, it practically just slips down! I'm lazy like that...haha!

My spouse is exactly the same way. I think he just grew up with soggy cereal so he is used to it.
