Any question answered...

I try to use the exact amount of milk required for the cereal, but in the shocking event that I've used far too much, I don't like milk enough to drink it but don't like to waste it, so I have to add more cereal to the milk and eat it until it's all gone.

But sometimes I add too much cereal and it's too dry and I have to put more milk in, and the cycle continues.

I have this problem when adding water to whiskey, often resulting in half pints of the good stuff just before beddy byes.
