When it comes to breakfast [1], cereal is one of the best options out there. It's easy, delicious, and there are endless options to choose from. (And, let's be real — cereal-eating habits are certainly not limited to just breakfast time.) If there is one downside to cereal, it's the fact that it can quickly become soggy once you add the milk, making only those first few bites crunchy and delicious. The solution? Freeze your cereal!
TikTok users [2] have been trying out the hack and sharing their thoughts on the social media platform, and the general consensus is that it's a game changer. Basically, all you have to do is put your bowl of cereal (without milk) in the freezer, let it sit for a while, then add milk and eat it like normal when you're ready. It sounds a little weird at first, but it actually works wonders! Once you add the milk, your cereal [3] remains cold, crisp, and crunchy — no more soggy Cheerios!
People on TikTok seem to be freezing their cereal for different periods of time. Some do it for about 30 minutes, while others keep their bowl in the freezer overnight. But the main takeaway is that everyone seems pleased with the results regardless of the time frame, so the next time you're craving a bowl of your favourite cereal, stick it in the freezer beforehand and experience the crunchy, cold magic for yourself.
