Entertainment food William Hanson
This etiquette expert claims it’s good manners to eat cornflakes with a fork, but the internet’s just not swallowing it – 17 crisp clapbacks
As well as being one of the hosts of the smash hit comedy podcast Help, I Sexted My Boss, William Hanson is probably the UK’s best-known expert on etiquette – which is very broadly the topic he addresses in Help, I Sexted My Boss.
However, he occasionally makes us all think that the podcast isn’t the only place in which William is serving up comedy, such as when he’s trying to convince people that we should eat cornflakes with *checks notes* a fork.
@williamhansonetiquette Do you have a favourite breakfast cereal?
We’re all in favour of good manners, and we’re not averse to a tasty bowl of cornflakes (other cereals are available), but this …this is going too far. TikTok agreed.

Teaching cereal etiquette while eating it from a pasta bowl feels delightfully rebellious.

Did you say “corned flakes”? That is incorrect pronunciation, Sir.

Oh please, good manners have nothing to do with using a FORK ! to eat cereal. Don’t be silly!

I’m sorry but isn’t the fork a little unnecessary. that’s like if I were to try to use a rake to shovel the snow onto the shovel.

I’ll show this to my 4 year old. He’s been doing it wrong.
@ivy tamarana
@Billy_The_Kid had a question that’s probably going to give William flashbacks.
How are you supposed to lift that bowl and drink the milk?
