I know how annoying I can only eat 2 & the third always goes stale by the next morning – maybe suggest a change to the makers – start a petition – you could go far with this one!!
No specific reason, it could be:
To represent the three main meals a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In design, three looks better than two or four. When one wants to plant bushes together, the prefer look is in odd number in three, five etc. same apply here. possibly.
and third possible reason, it is pleasingly to the eye.
They come in three’s because the suppliers feel this is the correct amount to sustain you until lunchtime comes around….I have overcome the problem you mention by using a “larger” bowl..but as an “Emergency” measure until you can locate one..one could try placing one on top of the other two thus producing a small pyramid with a little lake of fresh milk around it!…….What a silly s.d!!……………Not you!…………..Me!!!….
By the way 10Speed ….You are on an English Language site so you may well find one or two of us English people around!!!

Time 2 buy a bigger bowl?
Or smash them up a bit.
I can’t eat three, 2 suits me fine.
