I haven't been able to drink milk since college when I developed lactose intolerance.

As a kid, I usually ate a sweetened cereal such as Lucky Charms and add sugar (candy was forbidden in our house so this was my way of compensating I guess). Would keep adding the cereal and sugar to use up the milk. Would keep going until the milk was almost gone and finished off with some crunchy sugary paste.

Yeegads that was good!

I kept coming across these large plastic measuring cups (w/ handles).
The count came out to the high teens.

They ate *everything* out of these things.
DH still does that.

I can't imagine wasting milk, so I use it up, not much left in the bowl anyhow, as I don't drown my cereal. I just use my spoon to get the leftovers.

Yuck! first off there would be crumbs from the cereal in your mashed potato's, then if the cereal turned the milk a diffrent color from the food dye, and what if it was coco puffs, now you have chocolate mashed potato's.

Cannot believe there are people who pour perfectly good, unspoiled milk down the drain!

If you are lactose intolerant or just plain don't like milk I would suggest trying a milk substitute like one of the SILK brand products in the dairy dept. They are soy based with different flavors. You'd be surprised how well they taste, and are healthy for you.

If you dislike milk so much that you throw milk away down the sink because there's some left in your bowl after the cereal is gone, then why would you even eat cereal drenched in milk? That makes no sense at all. There are plenty of other quick breakfast options that don't involve milk.
