I just simply add more cereal to the leftover milk until it's all used up.

The only cereal I eat as an adult is that expensive granola stuff you get at the market (I hate that sugary stuff they give away at hotels, so I just grab a bagel), so I never do it in public, but, ya know… obviously. Why waste the milk?
Hell yeah I do
A lot of the time I can't wait to finish my cereal so I drink all the milk like halfway through. I love milk
When i was a very young kid I didn't like it. .. but after like 3 I really like it.
.. and no it wasn't thrown away: someone else would drink the remaining milk.
The idea of drinking someone else's cereal milk makes me quite squeamish
Yes. I'm 30. I do this, it's not weird, and anyone who says otherwise is a poser.
I'm 46 and I do this.
Tangentially related: Where I grew up (Eastern European country in the communist era), the staple appetiser for dinner was chicken broth with noodles. I loved noodles as a kid os I would always want to eat them last. So, I would always first eat all the broth (although with a spoon rather than drinking it straight from the bowl) pushing the noodles aside, draining all the broth from them to spoon it up, and then eat the noodles. Even now, when I go to Asian restaurants and order some form of noodle soup, I eat it in a similar way.
But cereal, no. Every spoonful has to contain a balanced proportion of cereal and milk.
Putting liquid on your cereal was your first mistake :P :)
I know that's an un-popular opinion. The two times I ever had cereal with milk, I puked. Possibly for unrelated reasons, but never did that again after the second time.
Try water
Well, I don't eat cereal much these days (maybe twice a year), but I don't get the premise; it's fine without anything in my opinion.
Say that to your teeth.
As a kid who lived on dry cereal, even after getting adult teeth in, everything seems to be fine here.
If your teeth are degrading from eating dry cereal, I think you might be the one with messed up teeth lol
It's the best part
We have a routine going: I get the last piece of cereal from the bowl and hold it on my spoon while I drink the milk from the bowl. Then I give that piece of cereal to the dog, and then it’s time for his walk.
I actually hate the milk left in the cereal bowl, it's so interesting to hear people enjoy it, but I do it because my parents would scream at me if I ever left a crumb of food (we were quite poor to be fair).
Not to be dramatic, but I'd rather die.
Do you pour it down the drain?
Yes.
I already ate more sugar than I should have. I'm not going to drink the runoff. I also don't drink the mostly-salt broth from instant ramen.
That's insanely wasteful
