Why is cerial made this way?

Question

On TV I always see Cerial made where the bowl is only 25% filled with milk and the bowl is to the top with cerial. I fill my bowl to the top with milk, for some reason all of my cerial must be wet to eat it , if its not then i push it under the milk to get it wet, so why is the "traditional" or way they do it on TV done that way? bowl with 25% milk 100% cerial

Answer 1

to show you the cereal not the milk. they use elmers glue as milk when they pour it. It is richer, creamier and whiter than real milk. it's all for advertising purposes.

Answer 2

I put a lot of milk in my cereal, probably too much. I too can't eat cereal with milk unless all the cereal is wet, so I try to pour enough to get everything wet, but not too much so there isn't much milk left over.

Now, to answer your question, keep in mind the commercials are selling the cereal, not the milk. The commercials aren't meant to be an accurate depiction of really happens when people eat cereal. They are meant to sell their product, and if that means less milk, then so be it.

Answer 3

I think it's called -- Advertising. It's the cereal that they're selling, not the milk, so of course they're going to show the cereal. I don't put so much milk in just because I don't want to have to drink (or waste) it when the cereal is gone. I will make sure that they're all submerged before I eat it.

Answer 4

Because their selling cereal not milk. Besides they usually have a glass of milk next to the bowl.

Answer 5

If the bowl was 25% milk and 100% cereal, wouldn't it be 125% full? I may not be a math genius, but....

Answer 6

If they're selling CEREAL and they show mostly milk... uh, that just wouldn't make any sense.

Example...

If you owned Payless, would you advertise socks? Just because they fill the shoe?

Answer 7

is not the real deal. for commercials, things are done and prepared differently.

Answer 8

You must be a cereal killer doing it like that.
