Who doesn't like cereal - it's quick and easy and tastes good at any point in the day, weirdly even better at night...
The one thing that puzzles me though is why is it so damn hard to clean out of a bowl?
In the morning you get up, shower, eat breakfast and rush out to work. The last thing you want to do is set to and clean your dishes so you leave them in the sink to wash later when you get in. And that's where the problems begin. If you think ahead you fill the bowl with waterto ease cleaning later on. If not you could be in for the fight of your life.
What happens to cereal during those hours alone that turns it from a delicious and healthy morning meal into concrete? Seriously. Sod quarry mining to produce cement dust, all builders need to do is grab a couple of boxes of cereal and a few pints of milk.
And which are the prime offenders in the concrete on the bowl market?
Well obviously Weetabix rates fairly highly up there. That stuff actually begins to turn whilst your eating it.
Porridge is another. It's sticky to begin with and it too begins to turn whilst you eat it.
Some of the more unlikely candidates though lull you into a false sense of security. Corn flakes, bran flakes and other flakey based cereals, go all soft and gooey whilst your eating it so that you dump it in the sink without a second thought. Big mistake. Hours later the flakes have welded themselves to the bowl and aren't about to give up their position without a lengthy fight. The scourer fails so you think, "I'll scratch it off with my fingernail!" And that's just what it wants you to do. Because of their thin flake shape it's like jamming a wooden splinter under your nail.
Of course there are much more offensive foods out there - brussel sprouts for example.
