"cereal bowl" news and stories

Yesterday, I was reading this article on the importance of breakfast, considering the meal suggestions that the article suggested, when I noticed something odd. In addition to the recommendations for grains (bread or cereal), fruit (bananas) and protein ("eat a spoonful of peanut butter"), the article suggested that parents "make sure [kids] drink the milk out of the bottom when they're done" if cereal is served. They also suggested trying to serve kids only unsweetened, whole grain cereals and I don't even know a lot of adults who will go for that all the time. But that's a whole 'nother post. The thing that caught my attention was the milk at the bottom of the bowl.

I know that there are some people who love nothing more than slurping up milk from the bottom of a bowl of cereal. Especially sugary or chocolaty cereal. I simply am not one of them. Am I alone in this? I try to match the amount of milk to the amount of cereal so that I don't have a lot leftover in the bowl and, if I want to drink some more milk, I'll have it in a glass on the side.

How interested are you in accessorizing your cereal? Personally, I'm quite satisfied with my relatively plain bowls and prefer to spice up my cereal - especially hot cereals - with actual spices or sugar. When it comes to using cereal to accessorize other things, I'm willing to be a bit more open, so the idea of the Cereal Bowl Light is an interesting one. It is a real light that has been built into a cereal bowl and is topped of with real Fruit Loops and a spoon. When the spoon is touched, the light turns on.

The seller says that it is "the best thing that you will ever buy in your life," and while I'm not trying to cast doubt on the seller's sincerity and think that the light is interesting in a pop-art sort of way, it's probably neither the best thing you will ever buy nor is it "the coolest light on earth." It is the best, and possibly only, cereal bowl light and a must-have for anyone who really loves their cereal.
