People are baffled after someone said eating cereal with water is better than milk

There are a lot of unpopular opinions out there. Some are polarizing (I will go to my grave defending the honor of pineapple on pizza), while some takes aren't actually that controversial.

But every so often there is one opinion so devious, so purely evil, that it rises above the rest. I'm talking, of course, about eating cereal with water.

Redditor u/DubitablyIndubitableshared their beliefs on how this breakfast food should be eaten with a post that has since become the top of all time on the subreddit r/unpopularopinion.

The reaction was a swift and intense "thanks, I hate it!" This was compounded by the fact that he admitted he doesn't even drink the cereal water (two words that shouldn't be together), the same way you would drink the leftover cereal milk in the bowl.

"It's just for the texture it provides the cereal," the wrote.

What?

The saga continues, when it turns out that he breaks another sacred rule of cereal-eating. Folks, this person pours the water (and I still can't believe this) first, and thenpours the cereal.

While there seems to be no reason to disrespect cereal like this, u/DubitablyIndubitable responded to comments by saying that he "[doesn't] like milk and cereal is dry. Water is the logical solution." Reddit user u/Elimacc replied with "Dude, just like, pick a different breakfast. Instant oatmeal with water is fine." Agreed.

Even the moderatorof the subreddit chimed in on the thread.

Although in the spirit of what the subreddit specifically asks for, many users were actually grateful that for once, this opinion was sincerely unpopular. Not prejudice thinly disguised as an "opinion," not political discourse, just genuinely a banal unpopular opinion.

And really, this is one that we can probably forgive. But peanut butter, ketchup, and pickle sandwich person is on thin ice.
