So, a discussion came up today at my work during lunch. One of my co-workers said she'd found something so mind-blowingly cool that she had to share.
She said "this girl MIXES her cereal together!!!!!!"
And I was like "yea and...?"
Apparently that was it. After asking a few people, I am coming to realise that this may not be something people do!?
So, what is HelloBee? Do you mix your cereal or is that totally weird!?

My husband does it. I do not. Cereals get soggy at different stages. You need to be very careful with cereal or you'll end up with a half soggy bowl and a half crunchy bowl and that will really wreak havoc in my mouth. One cereal at a time.

I totally mix cereal. Usually a sweet and non-sweet to balance out the sweet. Like plain cheerios with coco or fruity pebbles.

@Raindrop: Yes! One of my favourite mixes is cheerio's with Froot Loops!
@mediagirl: Where's your sense of adventure!?

No! My cereal choices are so boring mixing it wouldn't probably do much to enhance flavor.
I can't imagine the color of the milk for a truly odd cereal mix...

Only when we have two boxes of cereal with less than a bowl each in them.

@coopsmama: This is so funny! DH always does it too so I thought it was totally a thing. haha.

Always. My husband thinks it's weird, but I think the bowl is strange if it only has one type of cereal in there. I'm typically mixing Frosted Mini Wheats and Golden Grahams!

I started doing it when C started eating cereal. We do Cheerios and Kashi just about every morning. Generally I try to cut something sweeter with the plain Cheerios.

I've never done it, but I've heard of people doing it. I'd try it if the combo sounded good!

Growing up my mom did this and I find it so very wrong. If I wanted two kinds of cereal I would have two small bowls separately, one after the other.

DH does this and it kinda makes my stomach churn. I have no idea why I've got such strong feelings about it, but apparently I do.

Never done this. I'm usually craving a specific flavor so... that would be weird for me! And I agree about the sogginess factor!

YES!
Growing up, we were allowed to have sugar cereals for snack (but not for breakfast, that had to be something healthy) and we could never decide what we wanted so we always mixed whatever we had.
BUT, I hate cereal with milk and eat it dry, so...perhaps I'm the weirdo.

Say wha??? Mixing cereal?!? The idea never occurred to me but I have to say, it's kind of making my stomach churn just thinking of it! I won't even use milk from a different cereal (eg if I finish a box of one cereal, but want a bowl of a different cereal, I need fresh milk as well...and a fresh bowl....and a fresh spoon.....come to think of it, I might be the crazy one here!)

Nope. Never heard of someone doing this but I could imagine it only with a few cereals. I like cereals with a lot going on anyway like Raisin Nut Bran so I wouldn't mix it with something else.

@Raindrop: Yes! A whole bowl of sugary cereal is too sweet.
I usually do about 2/3 Shredded Wheat, 1/3 Frosted Mini Wheats, Raisin Bran, or Cinnamon Life - whatever DH has open at the time.
