Which Cereals Are Better With Milk and Which Aren't

Kylie Jenner, a 21-year-old celebrity with access to experiences the common man can only dream about, tweeted this incredible thing late last night.

Now, say what you want about being above the fray and better than this type of discourse. I am not. Reading this mind-blowing bit of information had a profound impact on me. Forty minutes of sitting in the dark, thinking hard about all that’s in play here brought me to an acceptable, but still confused mental space.

That Jenner never put milk on her cereal before — even once — is astounding. The thing is, though, milk doesn’t automatically improve the experience for all cereals. Some varieties are just plain better as shipped: dry and crunchy.
