Weekend Cereal History #4

No one knows whether the great French Enlightenment thinker Voltaire poured his cereal first or his milk first. Even historians specializing in Voltaire are unsure. He authored 300 volumes, after all, none of which clearly state which he preferred. It isn’t that the historians are incompetent, but that Voltaire wrote ascerbic, sarcastic works, and it’s difficult to intuit when he’s serious and when he’s being ironic. It now seems likely that we’ll never know the truth (but the smart money is on his pouring the cereal first).
