There\u2019s plenty of odd ways to eat breakfast, for sure, and considering it\u2019s the first meal to get you out of bed in the morning, you want it to be just right. As it turns out, Kiss bassist Simmons has found his chill twist, revealing two photos of his blended Oreo and frosted shredded-wheat cereal and asking his 884,000 followers \u201canyone else put ice cubes in their cereal?\u201d on January 2. True to the rocker\u2019s words, the first photo showed large chunks of ice floating in his cereal and milk. The second, a closer shot, revealed just how many large blocks were included in his near-overflowing bowl of sugary cereals. Anyone else put ice cubes in their cereal? pic.twitter.com\/lfvZr5lBjk \u2014 Gene Simmons (@genesimmons) January 2, 2020 Twitter was less than thrilled about the Kiss star\u2019s breakfast ritual, with some dubbing the frozen choice an affront to nature, and others suggesting Simmons was \u201cmoving further from god\u2019s light\u201d by creating the iced cereal. Hollywood comedian Tom Arnold quickly added his two cents, suggesting cereal and ice was a delicacy served for $40 at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and that it was both \u201ctasty,\u201d and \u201cmakes you poop too.\u201d Others were more damning of the cereal hack, especially writer Dave Jorgenson, who slammed the 70-year-old rocker\u2019s breakfast choice and said he had \u201cruined 2020\u201d already \u2013 a big call considering the year is less than a week old. Others offered up alternatives which ranged from not doing it at all, to having smaller ice cubes, so they didn\u2019t fill up the bowl, and some wiser fans even suggested freezing milk in chunks to avoid making the cereal watery at all. One fan even suggested Simmons needed to \u201cstart living in 2020,\u201d and shared their image of nearly half a dozen frozen cubes of milk in a bowl. Why don\u2019t you start living in 2020 Gene. pic.twitter.com\/1gkd16Gbxs \u2014 Anarcho-Bloombergist \u24b6 (@buckadef) January 2, 2020 Unfortunately for those left offended or shocked by Simmons\u2019 cereal may not see any respite on the horizon, after the Kiss star\u2019s son Nick revealed he had been watching his father doll out ice onto his cereal for his entire life. \u201c30 years\u2026 30 years watching him do this. This is my life,\u201d Nick said, confirming this wasn\u2019t just some weird 2020 trial the Kiss bass player was testing out. Gene\u2019s wife Shannon was less informative, only weighing in with \u201cNo no no!\u201d 30 years. 30 years watching him do this. This is my life. \u2014 Nick T. Simmons (@nicktsimmons) January 2, 2020 While there have been plenty of replies damning the Grammy nominees\u2019 icy Wheaties, it seems like there\u2019s the silent majority who are either on Simmons\u2019 side or at least pretty amused by it all, considering he\u2019s racked up more than 22,000 likes. There\u2019s also another thing worth considering: Simmons is a pretty creative guy, obviously, and he and Kiss broke new barriers when it came to rock. Maybe he\u2019s just pioneering more creativity in another field. It\u2019s worth a taste-test, at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gene Simmons shocks Twitter after revealing bizarre breakfast habit Kiss frontman Gene Simmons has spent the first days of 2020 stirring up a healthy serving of heated discourse on social media after the heavy metal rocker revealed one of the more interesting ways to eat breakfast cereal.
