But then I sold the idea to someone else. And they said it tasted like cardboard.
So hold on a minute, is this the wrong way to eat muesli or what?
I've seen folks eat it in that manner. That doesn't mean it's right or wrong, but it certainly seems to be common. A lady friend from Colombia enjoyed a version of muesli in that fashion, and Sweetie, who was from Argentina, would enjoy flaked oatmeal in a glass and just pour milk over the cold, uncooked flakes and let 'em soak a bit. Lucia, a friend from Peru, would do likewise. Of course, seeing them eat it that way, I had to try it for myself. A nice muesli with fruit and perhaps some sweetener lends itself very well to that technique. I'm sure that if you searched the 'net you'd find that to be not only common, but a preferred way of eating it.
