Sweetness

My normal breakfast is a cup of decaf tea (don't want to wake up too fast) and a bowl of generic Cheerios. If I really wanted to save money, I would be eating oatmeal, but that requires measuring and that's too much work first thing in the morning. So I eat cold cereal, and it's usually Cheerios because we keep a supply on hand. But sometimes a box of sweetened cereal shows up and I will have that instead, even though I know I'm paying like two bucks for like a penny's worth of sugar.

So here's the big idea: spray on sugar, or maybe sweetened milk. You can put regular sugar on your cereal, but most of it sinks to the bottom of the bowl, so you don't really get the full effect of the sugar while you are eating. Of course you can compensate by sucking down the dregs from the bottom of the bowl, but that's not really the effect we're looking for. Sweetened milk on plain cereal would give you same effect as sugared cereal for potentially a lot less money. Why isn't there any sweetened milk for sale at the market?

There may not be sweetened milk, but there is chocolate milk. Mmmm. I think I have just found a solution to my problem.
