Here’s a random idea I wanted to share with you dopers: I wanted a bowl of cereal and didn’t have any milk, but I DID have half a pot of coffee. I made up a mug of java with splenda and vanilla Coffee Mate and poured it over my Oatmeal Squares, and WOW it was good. I may do this on a regular basis even after I get more milk. Wheeeee! ---

Nah. I want to keep my coffee side coffee and my cereal side cereal. It’s the McDLT of breakfast. ---

I say cut out the middle man and caffeinate the cereal directly. ---

They should put it in the cereal for you. I’d buy, say, Cocoa Puffs if they had a big banner on the box that said “NOW WITH MORE CAFFEINE!” I’m now looking forward to super caffeinated chocolate frosted sugar bombs! ---

Works well with root beer and granola too. ---

RumChata already tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I doubt it would suffer if the two were mixed. ---

Went camping one time (I was 18), forgot the milk for the cereal so we used the leftover jug of gin and Tang from the night before. Breakfast of champions! ---

Nice username/post combo there. 🙂 And 32-year-old me knows perfectly well that 22-year-old me would have done the same thing.
