    Until one day, when you’re eating soup and innocently toss in some croutons, only to realize that what you’re eating is essentially cereal: savory edition, which you find so inexplicably disgusting that you can’t even stomach the thought of regular cereal for a depressing amount of time

      That only happens if you reverse your arbitrary categorisations and let them dictate your feelings about things, instead of realising that categorisations are a) arbitrary and b) can be refined.

      Cereal has to, at least, involve a cereal like rice or oats or whatever as the main ingredient.

        You mean, like… Corn?!?!

        Vegetable soup (with corn) has entered the chat

        And my point stands.

        Also, you and your strict interpretation of ‘cereal’ have room to talk right after lecturing me about arbitrary categorizations… Sounds like someone needs to take their own advice, eh? 😋🙃
