Gene Simmons Puts Ice in His Cereal to Keep Milk Cold

Gene Simmons‘ disturbing revelation he puts ice cubes is hardly shrouded in mystery … dude doesn’t like warm milk.

The KISS rocker got a rise on Twitter New Year’s Day by sharing his weird eating habit, with reactions ranging from bewilderment and disgust to admiration and relief … the relief coming from the fact he wasn’t trending because he died.

Turns out, Gene’s been doing this for decades, and we’re told he thinks it’s a smart way to keep his milk icy cold. We’re told he also adds ice cubes to hot foods — like soup and ramen — to cool ’em down. Genius.

His son, Nick, replied to his tweet — which also strangely shows a bowl of Oreo O’s and shredded wheat cereal mixed together — saying he’s been watching his dad do this for 30 years and adding … “This is my life.”

We’re told Nick and Gene’s daughter, Sophie, have always given him a hard time for his ice cube ways … and Sophie’s the one who encouraged him to tweet about it to see what everyone thinks.

Consensus — yeah, it’s weird man. However, some people accepted it and even offered tips to improve the practice … like using milk ice cubes instead of regular ones so it keeps the milk cold but doesn’t water it down.
