My mom loves quaker multi grain hot cereal, more than just oats! But she'll have a cup of milk on the side and pour a little over it while she eats it. I've seen oatmeal served at restaurants this way too.

Also, my brother is weird about his cereal. he hates it soggy, so he has cold cereal dry with a giant glass of milk on the side. he also didn't eat much more that cereal and peanut butter sandwiches until he went to college. weirdo.
