Video: The Cereal Sifter
Since I don't eat cereal, I have never experienced the horror of cereal dust—the powdery detritus found at the bottom of your cereal box that mars your final bowl of cereal. Web series Stupid Inventions found a way to combat this problem with the Cereal Sifter, a sieve bearing the words "The Cereal Sifter" so you know it's specifically for cereal. Put it on top of your cereal dust-afflicted bowl, turn it over, shake it a bit, and voilà—no more dust in your bowl, because its now on your table. Watch the video after the jump.

I don't eat much cereal anymore, but I clearly remember LOVING cereal dust. It was concentrated cereal sweetness, would make the milk thick and rich with sugary grainy flavor. I loved the texture too, a sticky gummy paste that would require serious tongue action to dissolve. I remember specifically saving the cereal dust from the end of boxes and mixing it with very small amounts of milk in a juice glass and enjoying it as post breakfast "dessert"... Kinda makes me want go out and buy a box of Kix and run it through my grinder.

Simon beat me to it and said it better. I love cereal dust.

I ate cereal as a kid but I haven't eaten it in ages. However, I feel better reading this thread--I always thought I was an anomaly not being a cereal-lover, and not liking much milk in my cereal.
I guess using this would solve the problem of getting to the bottom of the box for prizes and the raisins in Raisin Bran and the marshmallows in Lucky Charms.

Now I can finally realize my dream of snorting Count Chocula.

Yes, I'd have to use the sifter backwards to ensure the most cereal dust possible in my bowl. The best part!

Eugh. I HATE cereal dust. Upside is that Hub doesn't mind it, so I just let him have the last bowl of cereal. I'd rather have toast than a mouthfull of sludge.

Cereal dust is the absolute worst! Way to go!

The cereal dust is the best part.
I used to eat a lot of cereal and when I had eaten most of the box, I'd go downstairs to pour the last bowl to discover my brother who doesn't eat a lot of cereal has stolen the last bowl including cereal dust. Seriously, what a bastard.
Sometimes I think about smashing up a bag so it's all cereal dust...but it wouldn't be the same.

Cereal dust has got to be the nastiest thing in the world...nothing spoils a bowl of Apple Jacks quicker than to be at the end of the box and tip it just a little to far and there plopping into your bowl of apple-y goodness is the dreaded dust....BLLLLEACK!

cereal dust is good! especially the dust from sugary cereals like trix :D just to make it even better, i would add a little sweetened condensed milk and it becomes think and dessert-ish!

I mix cereal dust in with bread crumbs for really interesting breadings. (Think onion rings with a touch of Apple Jacks or chicken cutlets breaded with a hint of Cookie Crisp)
