The question itself is really quite rhetorical, but I enjoy musing about random things and all things puns and wordplay. Jokes and riddles bring smiles to my face and I love puzzles of all sorts: physical, jigsaw, logic, etc. I find joy in the act of learning itself, as new information, STEM or not, is as rewarding as the punchline of a joke or the solution to a clever riddle. Shower thoughts like “is cereal a soup” are not so much a question to be seriously pondered but a way to look at the world in unconventional ways, to constantly think outside of the box and not be restricted to a single mindset.
But Is Cereal a Soup?
In gastronomy studies, a soup is thought to require some additive or thickener that grants a soup its characteristic taste and texture, which most often takes the form of corn starch. The question for thought, then, is whether or not milk satisfies this requirement as an additive. This is left as an exercise to the reader.
