The project investigates people’s perceptions and preferences regarding cereal through a survey conducted among 38 respondents using an online form. The survey aimed to understand how individuals perceive cereal and their preferences regarding this popular breakfast item. The findings indicate that most respondents, aged between 18 and 24, consider themselves cereal enjoyers. The majority associate cereal with well-known brands, breakfast, and the presence of milk. Interestingly, only 18.4% view cereal as a luxury item, while 76.3% grew up eating cereal, showcasing its widespread acceptance as a common food item.

Respondents prefer eating cereal as a snack or for breakfast, with many highlighting its simplicity and convenience as key reasons for consumption. The survey reveals that most participants enjoy their cereal sweet and cold, typically paired with milk. When preparing cereal, nearly everyone pours the cereal before the milk, a preference that aligns with traditional habits. The ideal cereal consistency balances between dry and soggy, with the majority preferring a mid-level of sogginess. While toppings are not commonly added, those who do prefer fruits, nuts, and sweets.
