FAQ: Ace, Why Do Cheerios Cling Together In A Bowl Of Milk?
My mailbox gets flooded with this question. And it's not limited to Cheerios; people ask about a lot of different BBC (boyant breakfast cereals) -- your Lifes, your Alpha-bits, your Cracklin' O's.
I've been telling people for years that it's due to intermolecular forces creating a dip in the middle of the bowl, and a rising "menescus" at the edge of the bowl, and finally science has caught up to me.
