If anybody on this board would know the history of cereal, I would bet it would be you!

^ LOL! yeah, and I don't even work for them .... Kellogg's is an interesting history - the doc brother didn't want to sell the cereal, just give to his patients, the other was the capitalist ..... good thing!

Hey CC, where from up thare?

I have always liked Apple Jacks, since I was a kid. A few yrs ago while in Iraq I was introduced to bananna milk...bananna milk and Apple Jacks ROCKS!! Hate to imagine how many grams of sugar, but it sure was tasty.

I rarely eat cereal theese days, when I do it is usually multi grain cheerios, cause that is what the wife buys for the boys.

Vanilla almond special K isn't half bad, either. The other flavors are pretty gross, though. And that cheap-o Sunbelt granola that wallyworld carries...

I won a cereal eating contest at summer camp when I was a kid. I ate 13-14 self-serve boxes of apple jacks. The smell of them alone brings back terrible memories of the roof of my mouth being raw for a couple days afterwards.
