Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.
Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I’m eating it “in public:” hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I’m more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

The morning bus ride just isn’t the same without a fresh bowl of raisin bran.
I always drink from the bowl, I eat fries and burgers with my hands, sometime I like drinking from a straw and much more. If other people aren’t happy, that’s their problem, keep doing it if you like it!

These ones feel pretty normal, at least where I am
I like dipping my fries in the milkshake.
Fries in a milkshake is good. Fries in a Wendy’s frosty is somehow better, and really the only reason I ever eat there.
There is no other option. Thou shalt drink thy cereal-flavored milk.
Most bowls suck for this though, too flat on top. Disposable bowls are the worst.
I definitely judge the kind of person who leaves milk in the bowl as if it were a waste product of cereal consumption and not half the point.
I’m a man in my mid 40s and I have no problem drinking the milk straight from the bowl.
What’s the alternative? Just pour it down the drain? Absolutely not.
I’m just sitting here trying to figure out if I’ve ever eaten cereal in public.
I guess maybe in a hotel that offered “free continental breakfast”? If I did make a habit of eating cereal in public, I can’t say I’d have a second thought before picking up my bowl and drinking the (oat) milk leftover. Do some people not do this? What do they do, throw it away? Scoop milk into their mouths with a spoon?
Life’s too short to be self-conscious about how you eat cereal.
Why waste the milk? That sounds insane. Of course I drink the milk (or I did before becoming lactose intolerant).
Do you… not drink the milk from the cereal bowl…?
Worse to waste food (milk in this case) than to be seen drinking it from a bowl.
It’s not just flavored, it also has all the vitamins and minerals that floated off the cereal (or were in the milk in the first place). Drink up, for health!
Sugar. You mean sugar.
If you were asking this to a global audience, it would definitely be an extreme minority. About 70% of the adult population of the world is lactose intolerant.
I just like mentioning that statistic because white people usually don’t believe me. 😁
I’m white, lactose intolerant, and drink the oat milk from the bowl when I have cereal.
I encourage the kids to do the same with their cows milk.I’m not lactose intolerant but I’ve ibd and depending on how my disease is going I might not be able to drink milk, I’m also white. I thought lactose intolerance was widely known about?
Most people don’t realize that lactose tolerance is the unusual condition. I do think most people know lactose intolerance exists though, yeah.
I’d rather not let milk go to waste.
Late 30s. Hell yes I drink the milk. That’s the whole reason I ate the cereal.
I gotta ask, what situation are you in that you’re eating cereal in public? It’s just not that kind of food generally
Driving I’m guessing. Just pours the milk into the bag inside the box and sticks a spoon in.
Spoon? I’m sure they would just wear the bag like a helmet for hands free eating and driving
