Regardless of taste that much sugar is a sure path to early diabeetus.
Not just that. It's bad for teeth to. Not to mention she'll be honey in an hour.
When I was a kid we were not allowed milk if we were sick. So I used to eat my cheerios with OJ. It got to the point I liked it more than with milk.
People love making arbitrary food rules. Eat whatever tastes good, so long as no one's hurt.
Me until my SO starting starting pouring ketchup on the pasta I made him with homemade pasta sauce.

My mom had the same rule about milk. She said if you were running a fever, the milk would "curdle in your stomach" and make you nauseous. Your stomach is acidic. Milk always curdles in your stomach.

Well, I've got cereal at home and bought some orange juice yesterday and it's roundabout breakfast time, so... wish me luck.

Could be worse, she could microwave tea instead of using a kettle...isn't that right Americans
The chemist in me is so sad 😞 what’s wrong with the microwave for heating water? That’s it’s one job in life
I think they believe we’re heating the cup with the tea bag in it or smth, instead of just heating water. Idk. It’s lunacy.
Yeah, I agree, it’s something like that. Ive never really gotten a concrete answer from anyone for why they won’t use a microwave to heat water. The best I’ve gotten is “that’s not a what a microwave is for”.

Yeah, microwaves aren't for making water hot, they're for making food hot AND DON'T TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW THEY WORK MAGIC MAN!

Yes exactly. They are only for heating up molecules that have a dipole, like hydrogen chloride, ozone, ammonia, and some other probably unimportant ones.
Well this comment sent me on a bit of a deep dive. My statistical thermodynamics prof told us that microwaves only affect waters dipole, but it seems like they affect all polar molecules, like you say. Maybe it’s a semantics/language thing because I can imagine we could pick the microwave size to match its dipole. It’s been too long. I’d need to crack open some scary textbooks again. Hmm

I have no idea where we received this stigma and I am appalled. You can falsely accuse me of anything, ANYTHING, except microwaving tea. I will not let that stand.

Honestly, i did this with muesli and apple juice for years. Only thing that stopped me was finding out how awesome and cheap i can make my own oat milk at home with and the ridiculous sugar apple juice added.
OJ is kinda tangy though, that wouldn't work... Apple was far mellower

Once upon a time when I was still in probably about middle or high school, my mom for some reason got a bug up her ass about how much milk we were using and decided she would go on "strike" and stop buying milk.
So one day I came downstairs and poured myself a bowl of cereal. Finding no milk in the fridge, I just kind of shrugged and grabbed a 2L bottle of root beer and poured that over my cereal while she watched.
Her strike ended really quick after that.
Root beer cereal wasn't terrible. I can't remember exactly which cereal it was, but we usually had fairly plain options, Cheerios, corn flakes, Chex, etc. usually nothing frosted, fruity, etc. I wouldn't exactly recommend it, but if you ever find yourself contemplating soda as an alternative cereal liquid, I do think root beer is probably your best bet.

One time when I was single, I poured myself a big bowl of rice crispies, only to find that my milk was sour. I was really annoyed - then I realized I had apple juice, so I poured that on instead. It was a little on the sweet side, but it actually tasted pretty good.
