Is it normal to eat cereal with water?
Unusual.Less common, but harmless
It’s less common than eating cereal with milk, but it’s harmless. Some people do it because they’re out of milk, avoid dairy, or simply don’t mind the taste and texture.
It’s not the usual cereal routine, so you may get a few baffled looks—but you’re not breaking any cereal laws. Water softens the cereal without adding much flavor, which some people prefer and others find pretty bleak.
