This totally defeats the purpose of letting your Cap’n Crunch cereals become soggy in milk to save your gums from certain destruction.

I like the cool confidence of the lad in that last photo who already knows he’s got it made with his new girlfriend because they are carrying matching cereal cups to hork down their breakfast on the way to school.

EEEWWWW!!! Milk on cereal! What kind of perverts would adulterate perfectly good cereal like that? Yuck.

Since this isn’t a store post, I don’t think they are “hawking it to pay the bills”. The link to the pre-order page seems clear. I’m guessing this is just something weird being brought to the attention of readers that may enjoy it.
I’m not a person who wants to eat cereal the moment it meets the milk, however. I’m with @knoxblox on that. My gums and the roof of my mouth shriek at the thought.
So I’ll use my $25 on something else.

This is the most pathetically first world thing I’ve ever seen.
First, first of all, the word ‘gulp’, heck no!
First of all, adults using anything that resembles a sippy cup? Hard pass from me, yes, that includes disposable coffee cups with a lid like that, too. (Maybe don’t use disposable coffee cups at all while you’re at it)
Then, you wanna eat cereal in your car, or while power walking or some shit? Have you tried not? You can eat ceral out of a bowl at virtually any other time! I know, imagine when we first found out!
Lastly, is this virtue signalling? Yes, yes it is. I want you to feel bad about liking /sippy cup/ ‘crunchyboi-whatever’

Milk on cereal is good. Heavy cream on cereal is worth getting heart disease.

There’s delivering cereal + milk to your mouth with a spoon. Then there’s a delivery method that involves tipping back a receptacle – and your head – to get the stuff into your mouth. Which one has the greater chance of getting the stuff down the wrong pipe?
the other day I was actually thinking how WEIRD cereal is… I mean… what other food do we eat cold floating in a liquid… and I looked up how the thing was invented. Apparently the first breakfast cereal was this dried out stuff that was so hard it had to be soaked overnight in milk just to make it edible. It was like the breakfast version of hardtack. I feel like Grape nuts are almost like that. They require a bit of a soak if you don’t wanna chip a tooth. this invention is no good for these things. ha.
