I’m beginning to think I’m the only person who likes their cereal soggy. Sometimes I’ll even leave the bowl out for a bit so the cereal can soak up all the milk. People, tell me I’m not insane!
Or tell me I am insane, so I can brush up on my manic laughter.
A little bit of both. And it depends on what the ceral is. Cap’n Cruch should be crunchy but Frosted Mini Wheats should be soggy.
Prefer it crunchy but will happily eat it soggy too.
Electric Warrior, you’re sick. I hope you seek help that you desperately need.
You left out the correct answer: let the milk soften the cereal a bit, but eat it well before total sogginess sets in.
Cold cereal should be crunchy, but oatmeal not so much.
Crunchy. In fact, I never, ever put milk on my cereal!
It depends entirely on the cereal.
Any type of raisin bran needs to be soggy. This goes for the Honey Nut line of cereals as well.
The Captain Crunch brand of cereal needs to be somewhere in the middle. Not so crunchy that it cuts my gums, but not so soggy that it feels like I’m swallowing wads of snot with each bite.
Cheerios, corn or frosted flakes, lucky charms, etc, need to be crunchy.
‘Help’, that’s like minions, right? 
Generally agree. I do find, though, that Frosted Flakes work well as a soggy cereal. It’s like a completely different – but quite pleasant – foodstuff from when it’s crunchy.
Ready-to-eat dry cereals usually get tapped with the spoon until lightly moistened.
A cereal I won’t eat is Quaker Oatmeal Squares. It’s treated in a way that makes it hydrophobic/oleophobic (?)
You can drown it in milk for 15 minutes and it stays dry and crunchy. Yuck.
I love soggy cereal too. But my favourite thing in the world is to crush a bowl of graham crackers in a bowl and pour milk over them
I went with crunchy, but technically I like it to soak for a small amount of time. But not to the point where it is soggy or mushy. If I’m going to do that, I might as well eat hot cereal.
Weetbix I like soggy, but most cereals I prefer crunchy.
Crunchy. If it goes soggy I refuse to eat it. In the trash it goes.
Exactly. There is a perfect point between soggy and crunchy. It’s very hard (impossible, really) to arrange for the whole bowl to be at that point as you eat it. The early spoonfuls are too dry and the later spoonfuls too soggy. But just between is the good part.
Decades ago, the winner of a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes contest (say why you like Corn Flakes in 25 or fewer words) was:
I like Kellogg’s Corn Flakes because they don’t snap, crackle or pop. They just lay there quietly and sog.
Ever since then I’ve used sog as a verb.
I agree with those who say there is a perfect point between dry and soggy, and that point differs by specific cereal.
Same here. Well, when I ate cold cereals. Hot cereals (oatmal/Cream of Wheat) get a splash of milk, but were never really crunchy to begin with.
Same here. I think of cereal more as something to eat a few handfuls of out of the box as an easy snack, very rarely do I even have a traditional cereal meal with a bowl and spoon.
I agree with this. The amount of time it takes to go back to the kitchen and put everything away and pour a beverage is usually just right for softening a flake-based cereal.
I also agree that supersoggy frosted flakes are no longer cereal, but a sort of… pudding. A completely different foodstuff and really more suitable as a dessert than a breakfast.
