OP, we are living a life dictated by "norms set up by someone once upon a time world". Heck if you love it, eat it ! If your kids pick it up and do it on Scout camps, maybe it will spread.

Sounds like something you'd feed to fussy kids, or Ned Flanders.

(I'll just have a piece of white bread, maybe with a glass of water on the side for dippin'!)

And thank goodness we do. I can't imagine the chaos if no societal norms existed, or no one followed them. But I'm not sure crackers in milk have anything to do with "norms", it's more a matter of taste or preference. Now, if it were a law that everyone must eat crackers in milk, we could have a different discussion about the merits of norms. :)

It's a southern thing. My mother and her siblings, who grew up during the depression, had a variation on it - broken up pieces of cornbread with milk, in an tall iced tea glass. Don't know if it was regular milk or buttermilk. Never stayed around to find out - ran from the dining room making gagging noises.

I don’t like crackers and milk, however my 5 year old daughter LOVES it! It’s like a treat to her.

My 10 year old daughter dunks everything in milk.

Growing up, it was a thing in our home. Saltines or cornbread and sometimes my Dad would use Buttermilk. Today it's a greater delicacy as I eat peanut butter and crackers with a large cold tumbler of chocolate milk.

My grandmother would serve me saltines in milk before bed when I was a child. She would also sometimes give me a banana sliced up in orange juice. Both flavor profiles are guaranteed to transport me back to childhood.

But it is something my grandfather used to have all the time, my father enjoys, I enjoy, my mother isn't crazy about it but the idea isn't foreign to her. I am talking simple saltines in milk. Especially when they get all nice and mushy.

I love that combo. I too thought I was the only one.
