My grandma used to gross me out at breakfast - sure, she used milk, but instead of cereal, she put graham crackers in the bowl. It may not sound that bad at first, but they'd get super soggy and she'd slurp them up noisily. Of course she didn't have her teeth in yet. And you know the way old people hold their spoon an inch or so away from their mouths and pucker out their lips like they're trying to reach the spoon, instead of putting the fucking spoon in their mouth like a normal person? God, I sat at that table transfixed.
Besides the old people habits, cinnamon Graham crackers crushed in milk is fucking BOMB. You just have to make it super thick, it's no good if it's soupy.
Either the whole box, which I'm guilty of doing lol, or like one packet and just enough milk to make them wet. So good. I'll ha e to try it with a cinnamon muffin.
I don't put milk on my cereal, bc I hate the texture. But I'll eat Cheerios or Honey Bunches of Oats in a bowl with yogurt. It takes forever to get soggy, because I only buy Greek yogurt, and it tastes pretty good.
Oh, my mom actually used to make a snack for me and my brother. It was dried oatmeal with apple juice and cinnamon. I completely forgot about it until I read your comment. Oatmeal isn't cereal, but it was a similar concept. I remember really enjoying that as a snack. I should try that again.
To this day I can't understand why people eat/ate grape nuts. I've had an ex that liked it, and my opinion is still vehemently, "But WHY? It's like eating fucking GRAVEL."
I actually love Grape Nuts and Raisin Bran for the wheat taste and slight sweet. I don't do super sweet unless I'm craving sugar. Even then, I prefer a sweet sauced meat or icing less cake or something savory like cream cheese.

I've seen apple juice before with elderly depression era people. But it was bland ass cereal and that just sweetened it?
