    Once upon a time when I was still in probably about middle or high school, my mom for some reason got a bug up her ass about how much milk we were using and decided she would go on “strike” and stop buying milk.

    So one day I came downstairs and poured myself a bowl of cereal. Finding no milk in the fridge, I just kind of shrugged and grabbed a 2L bottle of root beer and poured that over my cereal while she watched.

    Her strike ended really quick after that.

    Root beer cereal wasn’t terrible. I can’t remember exactly which cereal it was, but we usually had fairly plain options, Cheerios, corn flakes, Chex, etc. usually nothing frosted, fruity, etc. I wouldn’t exactly recommend it, but if you ever find yourself contemplating soda as an alternative cereal liquid, I do think root beer is probably your best bet.
