Why does skim milk make your cereal soggy?

Skim milk makes cereal soggy because it has a lower fat content compared to whole or 2% milk, which can help create a creamier texture that clings to the cereal. The reduced fat means there's less coating on the cereal pieces, allowing them to absorb more liquid and become mushy faster. Additionally, the higher water content in skim milk can lead to quicker saturation of the cereal. The result is a less satisfying crunch and a soggier experience overall.
