Answer
The vet is the best thing in a case like this.  If there is no vet give him a tablespoon of mineral oil, but give him a little at a time over a ten minute period until it is all in him.  Take away his water and just leave an ice cube in his dish, if he finishes that you can give him another ice cube, etc.   He may have a blockage, if he does not stop vomiting within 4 or 5 hours, he needs to go to the vet.  The milk and cereal would probably give him the runs,  the plastic could cause a blockage and is lethal.  If the vet is still open get him there right away.
