Is cereal soup?

No, and here is why:

A soup is made to be wet, and stay wet, and staying wet does not compromise the soup in any way, whereas if cereal is left wet too long, it gets soggy and gross.

Think about your favorite soup- or to be even more comparable, your favorite cold soup. Maybe a nice cold carrot ginger soup. You make it, you enjoy it, but you can't finish it. So you put it in the fridge, and the next day you pull it out and enjoy finishing it off just as much as you enjoyed it the day before.

Now take a bowl of your favorite cereal, perhaps cocoa krispies. You pour yourself a third bowl in the morning because you are just enjoying it so much. However, you miscalculated and you can't finish it, so you put it in the fridge. The next morning for breakfast, you remember yesterday's unfinished cereal and are proud of yourself for not wasting it. But alas, you pull it from the fridge and after one mushy bite you know that it will have to get thrown out.


Cereal is not made to stay wet, as a soup would be. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
