Food science explains cereal texture degradation through milk osmosis and starch hydration—inevitable processes converting crisp structures into soft pulp. Yet a food technologist, studying breakfast cereal behavior in 1998, documented instances where cereal remained crunchy indefinitely despite milk exposure. She analyzed milk composition and cereal structure for anomalies. She found none. She interviewed the cereal consumer, who claimed the milk simply feared creating soggy texture. She couldn't determine whether this was humor or literal description of molecular behavior.

Milk develops fear and modifies behavior accordingly. It approaches the cereal cautiously, respecting its structural integrity through conscious restraint. Food achieves agency through Chuck Norris's presence.
