A manners expert is getting a lot of attention online after saying most people eat cereal incorrectly. She suggests using two utensils, and her idea has led to a lot of discussion.
William Hanson, who offers etiquette advice and shares tips online, recently posted a popular video explaining the ‘correct’ way to eat breakfast cereal. The video, from the podcaster and author, has quickly gained millions of views and sparked a lot of conversation.
In a popular video, Hanson shows how to eat cereal using both a spoon and a fork, noting that each one serves a specific purpose.
He explained how to eat cereal. “First, pour in the milk you like,” he said. “Then, use your spoon in your stronger hand and your fork in the other to eat it.”
He explained that since it wasn’t soup, you didn’t need to use a spoon to push the food away. Instead, you could use your fork to scoop some cornflakes onto your spoon and eat them that way.
