My Mum says that Shredded Wheat is like eating a Brilo Pad if you put cold milk on it and only goes soggy if you use warm milk. I don't know if this is true...
But I do think my skin gets more pruney in a warm bath than in a swimming pool.
So what do you think?

Yes, as the heat breaks things down faster and the liquid molecules can more easily get in between the solid molecules.

This is easily solved with two cups of nice milky tea (one cold and yucky that been sitting here for a while, one freshly made) and a packet of digestives (not chocolaty for they are not for dunking). Hold on a moment while I test this out...
Okay, I'm back. My dunking reveals that hot tea makes biscuits soggier than cold tea but I don't know why (some pseudo-scientist will, no doubt be able to tell us). Really it doesn't bother me as I'm not going to be drinking the cold tea and I like my biscuits on the soggy side.

Try dunking a biscuit in cold milk and also in warm milk...you'll soon need a spoon for the one in warm milk. Toe ;)

Harder things seem to go softer with warm liquids than with cold ones (e.g. weetabix you have mentioned). E.g. when you do the washing up and leave something to soak, it's best with warm water than with cold.
but if you were to soak soft bread for e.g. you wouldn't discern much difference between cold or hot milk on how soft/squidgy it makes it.

Yes warm milk will make it soggier quicker.
