It is technically a soup. The word soup comes from suppa, which is a Latin word that basically means bread soaked in liquid.
Just looked it up. The Latin is actually bread in broth. Unless you are weird your cereal isn't in a broth. Sadly it appears the etymology goes further back to the German for consuming something liquid. I'm going to say though the nearest etymology you can find that actually refers to a food and not eating specifies broth. So thankfully cereal is not soup.

Are those noodle bread things round? If so there is no way to cut it diagonally.
It's just ramen. I guess they cook it and shape it into like a bun shape, then fry it. So you could could technically do square.

This is the wrong question, Peachy @Peachy. :shifty:


"Is cereal a soup or salad?"
Neither. There are some people--we won't say who--who eat cereal like potato chips. Dry outta the box. That makes cereal a snack.....should I ask about where oatmeal fits into this scenario of soup/salad? or should I just shut up and go do my 12.00 survey?

I just got a Serg video of someone making accounts on Wikipedia to edit in conspiracy nonsense to pages about climate change and encouraging others to do the same, and now I kinda just want to go somewhere and cry.
Wikipedia is smart and can counteract that in a second. So in essence the dude is convincing a bunch of idiots to completely waste their time. Maybe that was his intention the whole time! :tinfoil:

At least you get paid. I watch some of that stupid shit for the hell of it. I think it helps foster a hatred of humanity.
