The answer to your question is beyond my limited wisdom.
Whenever I've mentioned Grape-Nuts to friends my age, they give me a strange look and ask what the hell I'm talking about. I'm no Grape-Nuts fanatic ? I'll buy a box a year, if that ? but are they really so far outside the product consciousness of 18?25 year olds?
One of the first ready-to-eat cereal products ever made available to the public, Grape-Nuts was first introduced in 1897. Made of wheat and malted barley, Grape-Nuts was so named because its inventor, Charles William Post, said that grape sugar was formed during the baking process and described the cereal as having a nutty flavor. Post was a pioneer in introducing and making popular cereal, a food product that today has become a standard breakfast staple.
If you like Grape Nuts, try them with Silk brand Soy Milk, vanilla flavor.
It makes them just a tiny bit sweeter and the soy milk seems to soak into the grape nuts better than regular milk. So, you're left with a totally awesome bowl of grape nuts.
The guy who invented them was once "pantsed" at the company Christmas party. To his horror, and his co-workers humorous delight, his secret was out. His new nickname, and the cereal name, were forever etched in stone.

I love vanillia soy milk, I just switched to 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soy...delicious.

indeed. I had some of that 8th continent stuff the other week, it's a little too sweet for my tastes, but the texture is great. It's amazing how far along soy milk has come. I remember when it was unbearably not like milk, but honestly, the first time I had Silk, I had no clue it wasn't cow milk until I was told.

WIMP.
If you're going to drink soy milk, it's original flavor or nothing. It's "Yeah, I'm a sissy, but at least I'm drinking f-ing soy, and not pretend vanilla soy."
Anyway, the secret is out. I'm lactose intolerant and have been drinking soy milk for years. (well, when I need a milk-like product. Otherwise, as Arnold says, "Milk is for behbies. When you grow up, it's all about biehr."). Actually, It's all about the original flavor. Buy it. Love it.
Grape Nuts are versatile. Ever try a peanut butter and apricot jelly sandwich with banana slices and grape nuts? Crunchy, sticky, sweet, good. You could add a little *crunch* to blueberry yogurt (or your favorite flavor). Absorbs about about a cup of Grape Nuts with vigorous stirring.

Now you've got me thinking. . . Rye bread, grape nuts, mayo, tabasco. Wow, I can imagine that. Seems better than my usual, which is sans the grape nuts.

"I'm feeling a little verclempt right now, so I'll give you a topic"
"Grape-Nuts talk amongst yourselves."
I thought this was just common knowledge.
Has anyone, in fact, gone down this disturbing road?
What if you develop a taste for Hot Grape Nuts? Can you ever go back?

Yup, they're not bad at all. Not *great*, but not bad. Good for a Dec morning.
Huh?

Do they retain their gravel like nature or do they start to mushify?

they absorb lots of milk and become soggy and delicious.
Or if that's not your thing, put less milk in and they retain their crunch

Just saying "I really am in the mood for some hot grape-nuts" can't be good.

And I'd eat it with original style soy milk, too.

Yeah, they are great in yogurt.
