Cereal Consumption

Is it better to not have enough milk for the bowl of cereal you thought you were going to have for breakfast or not enough cereal for the milk?
I'm of the opinion that the latter is better, because you can eat the cereal slowly and pretend it was a full serving but if you don't have enough milk then the cereal is all dry and crunchy and just doesn't give the same effect.
Thoughts?

This is me, with fewer Cheerios than she wanted.
