#856 – Bits

I think cereal is the biggest offender in food particle accumulation. I like cinnamon Life cereal but it’s always disappointing when I think I am going to pour myself the final bowl from the box and instead get a half pound of sparkly cinnamon sugar dust.

That dust is the deliciously sweetest and bestest of the parts!
Yeah the dust sucks for things like wheaties and other cereals that have no taste.
dude that dust is a little too sweet to be delicious. i like biff’s solution, though. (:
I do that with my cereals. I shake the box and feel the mass inside, but when I look it’s all broken up and not my Rice Chex at all, just lots of bits. No fun.
Ugh, I hate getting the dust from the cereal, it always manages to taste nothing like the cereal is supposed to. Which is why I always start on a new bag rather than have that last bowl.
I like when I get mostly cereal, and a bit of the dusty ceereal particles to flavor the milk! 😛
@TCC
I too enjoy the extra flavouring of the milk from the dusty particles at the end, I havn’t had particularly flavoured cereals of late though, so not as effective.
Biff’s solution is deffinitely going to have an odd flavor, I hope he liked paste as a kid.
I like the dust at the bottom of Lucky Charms. Marshmellow goodness, yum!
I always hated how my little brother would walk around the house with a box of cereal, eat all the good parts, then leave me with flavorless brown pieces and that dust.
I like his cookie solution though, it could be edible glue.
Depends a lot on what cereal you’re eating. C’ptian Crunch dust is just like the cereal, only smaller. Oatmeal dust makes great glue. And the dust at the bottom of Count Chocula opens a portal to the very depths of the unspeakable.
I don’t like how the cereal dust turns the milk all sludgy… It’s hard to drink the milk from the bowl with that stuff in it.
He’s clearly using marshmallow glue to help him out with his cookie dilemma.
*shudders* I HATE that stuff! Even as a child I didn’t care for it and i never understood why anyone would eat it. What I do now is that if there is enough for one bowl but it’s all covered in bits/crumbs, i pour it out into a strainer and shuft thru looking for the biggest peices. Think of it as looking for cereal gold XD
That half pound of dust makes a pretty awesome milkshake. You should try it 😀
Considering I eat Cap’n Crunch and Fruit Loops and both leave amazing dust, I usually look forward to that last bowl. Then again, I’ve been known to have several bowls of cereal just to have loads and loads of sugar-pumped milk.
Nevermind that I don’t like milk on any other terms.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch dust
’nuff said
@baughbe: hahaha
@Mophtran
exactly right ^_^ that’s like, the only cereal I ever seem to eat anymore, and that last bowl is even more epic than the first ^^
I like to put the whole box in the dryer. Half an hour later, all you have is sparkly cinnamon sugar dust. mmm, and it’s warm that way too.
I like to put the remaining cereal dust from sugary or cinnamon/sugary cereal on some buttered toast. Much less crumbly, tastier than glue, and easy!
@Mophtran, Cinnamon milk is the best. I always drink my milk after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
I just pour the sparkly cinnamon sugar dust on the cereal from the freshly opened box……. especially if the new box is Cheerios…
It’s worst for those of us who don’t drink milk … I always eat cereal dry (usually straight from the box), the way most people would eat chips or trail mix. The crumbs are just totally useless because they’re impossible to pick up.
@karen, they can be problematic, it depends on the food producing the dust for me, “healthy” cereals have no edible dust, frosted cereals’ dust could be put in tea or a cake, all they are is sugar, flavored potato chips always produce nice dust, and all types of tortilla chips produce a very chunky dust at the bottom with incredible amounts of seasoning, what some people, myself included do is open the bag from the bottom, and store the chips or cereal upside down the redistribute the deliciousness around, this works well wit pickled too.
I like cinnamon life dust.
It shows you that even the dusts of the life can still taste good.
Even when some people think they’re useless.
I’ll wait for that to sink in.
There was bad paste-eating epidemic in my kindergarten class.
One boy was particularly proud of the volume he could consume before getting caught.
It got ugly…
I could easily imagine that kid eating one of these, or possibly an abused bag of crushed cookies pieced together.
Is it crunchy, can it break? Open at the bottom and shake twice.
Works especially well with crisps, and perfectly-aged rat skulls.
