Gene Simmons breaks his silence on putting ice cubes in his cereal
The story that's on everyone's lips
Big-tongued KISS bassist Gene Simmons has broken his silence on his extremely weird trait of adding ice cubes to his breakfast cereal.
On New Year’s Day, Gene took to Twitter to share a photo of his first breakfast of 2020, which fused two types of cereal; chocolate hoops and frosted wheats.
However, Gene’s post swiftly went viral due to the fact that he also adds ice cubes to make his milk extra cold. "Anyone else put ice cubes in their cereal?", Gene asked his bewildered followers.
The Demon’s incredulous son Nick even responded to the post, writing: “30 years. 30 years watching him do this. This is my life.”
Now, in response to the story that’s on everyone’s lips, celebrity gossip site TMZ has ambushed Gene on the streets of Los Angeles to ask him about his breakfast habits.
Explaining where the idea came from, Gene said: "I was f***ing having cereal for breakfast and my daughter (Sophie), who's always snooping around — we were up in Canada — she asked me, 'Dad, what are you doing?'"
"I said, 'What am I doing? I am having goddamn cereal. That's what I'm doing.' 'But, dad, you're putting ice cubes in the cereal.' I said, 'Well, yeah, who wants lukewarm milk with your cereal?''
Questioned by the reporter about the furore caused by his breakfast habits on the internet, Gene added: "That makes a lot of sense, 'cause Kim Jong Un and the rest of the world — and Mr. Putin and all the rest, that's not controversy. What I had for breakfast, whether there's ice in it or not, is earth-shaking."
