I don't drink the milk, if there is any left over I just add more cereal!  ;)

This is me.  I don't put that much milk in to begin with, and if it turns out I overestimated I add more cereal.

I'm not sure if this counts as a "to drink" or a "not to drink" in the poll though!  I'm putting drink, because I don't leave any milk.

I'll eat some cereals dry. I don't like Shredded Wheat unless it's dry.  :-\\\\

I rarely even eat cereal. But when I do, I never drink the milk. It's just icky to me. If it's a sweetened kiddie cereal, it will have that greasy weird taste (like that weird film left in your mouth after eating Cap'n Crunch) and if it's regular cereal it will be gritty and funky tasting.

I chose "no", although it's a bit of a moot question for me.  Over the years I have mastered my cereal to milk ratio to perfection - I run out of both simultaneously. ;)

Meg, I always have a box of Cheerios in the house.  It's my go-to snack!

I'm kind of like this... though if there is really way too much milk and I've eaten grainy cereal and there are lumpy grainy icky bits in it I won't touch it.

I really hate the end of the cereal box where all the crushed bits are?  Bleah!  I won't eat them...

I used to drink the leftover milk as a kid, but somewhere along the lines it started to seem weird to me. DH always drinks it, but me not so much. No idea why, I'm just strange ;D

I don't drink the leftover (soy) milk- I either add more cereal or put the bowl in the sink.  FH *does* drink leftover milk and chides me for wasting sometimes when I don't.  I've never been one to drink milk on its own though.

I'm definately a drinker.  I hate the taste of milk and this is the only time that I would drink it.

When I ate cereal, I drank the milk.

I'm another one who carefully adds just enough milk, so there is never any left over to drink.
My son, however, insists on lots of extra milk, and refuses to drink what is left over, so I guess we cancel each other out.

I drink the milk afterwards most of the time, unless I'm still hungry and add more cereal.  When we stayed at the in-laws for two months because of house delays I used to let the cat have it.

I don't have milk on my cereal - hate it!!  I usually either have it dry (as a snack) or with yoghurt (for breakfast).  I also only ever eat very plain cereal like Cheerios or Weetabix.

I'm weird...never liked cereal much as a kid :-P.

You are like my husband-he hates the bottom of the box and saves them for me!  :)

I always drink the milk. My younger son drinks the milk too, and is just like me in so many other ways. But my husband is a dry-cereal eater, and my older son is just like him in so many ways.  :)

It's kind of frightening, actually - even down to the fact that my older son was born in the UK (like my husband) and my younger son was born in Maryland (just like me). My older son even insists on speaking with a British accent (here in the US)! But I guess this is all talk for another thread ...  ;D

I have cereal almost every morning.  I have the amount of milk down to a tee...there is usually one teaspoon of milk left as I like to have a lot of milk with my cereal bites...so I drink it.  But once I get a dog, I'll leave more milk for it to have.
