There’s part of me that has this memory of my brother eating cereal with orange juice in it when I was a kid. At least that is something that I recall happening, but it could be one of those things that you make up and it becomes a memory. I also recall seeing this in a movie at one point in my life, so maybe I took that scene and commited it into my own memory.
I can’t recall the name, but there’s a kid who constantly gets crapped on and ends up having things turn out positive for him in the end. I realize I just described the plot of hundreds movies out there, but this one in particular has a scene where there’s no more milk in the house for his bowl of cereal, only to have his mother tell him to use orange juice instead, just after some other sibling or something mocked him for using up all the milk.
The other day, the situation was similar in the apartment. In all actuality, we go for the soy milk here, being that neither of us can handle straight milk too well. Cereal is all we really use it for. Ice cream and gelato is no problem, thankfully.
So I tried it. I was really craving cereal for breakfast, and this thought about using OJ instead seemed worth a shot. I did eat all of it, but it was a little too much on the sweet and sour side, not to mention the whole, being very… watery part.
Bottom line, it pretty much sucked. I won’t suggest it, and my years of not being interested in trying it until the other day makes complete sense.
“…..memory of my brother eating cereal with orange juice”
Wasn’t me….I would have been in my Mountain Dew for breakfast phase….a very bad phase. BTW–two thumbs up for vanilla soy milk.
Wow… I am not going to lie, I just tried orange juice in my cereal this morning (I also ran out of milk, real milk though). I have to tell you, I liked it. I decided to do a google search on the subject to see what others thought about this and I found your blog. I think maybe you should try it with some other kinds of cereal. I used Kashi Go Lean. It felt like a warm California breeze in my face while I enjoyed fresh grains. I think you should give it a second chance.
I always eat orange juice in my cereal. I hate any type of milk so I substituted orange juice when I was about 4 and have eaten it ever since. I love it!
I believe the film was poltergeist or bridge to taribethea :S I watched both within the last few months and also vaguely remembering that :/
I actually tried it because I ran out of milk…and ended up liking it. Not that I’m going to do it again but it wasn’t too bad.
I also tried it because out of milk. try it with kixs
I’ve been eating cereal with OJ since I was little and found out I was allergic to milk. Personally milk on cereal is disgusting. OJ is great with any cereal besides chocolate cereal.
