*** Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament: Sweet Sixteen ***

[houjix]

Corn Flakes were actually created by accident after Kellogg left a batch of his wheat-based cereal dough out overnight causing it to ferment.

Cereal: The Accidental Invention That Changed American Breakfast | HISTORY

It started with some moldy dough.

www.history.com

"According to company history, it was one night in 1898 when a batch of wheat-based cereal dough was accidentally left out for an extended period of time, causing it to ferment. When rolled out into thin sheets, the slightly moldy dough produced perfect large, thin flakes that became crispy and tasty in the oven. Over the next several years, Will Kellogg kept experimenting with the recipe and figured out that corn, rather than wheat, produced even crunchier, crispier flakes."

That makes me remember the movie The Road to Wellville where this was a side story.

I haven't had Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries in probably 45 years. I might need to buy some.

I still like them...but the multiple colors of crunch "berries" is unnecessary! LOL

The fact that Captain Crunch Peanut Butter was eliminated already, tells me that y'all were dropped on your heads when you were young.

and has Cap'n going:

Based on the number of sugary kids cereals still in the running.... most of you are letting your kids vote OR you eat horribly.

I eat horribly, but I make up for it by exercising sparingly and drinking too much.

Hate to break it to you but the “healthy“ cereals aren’t really healthy either. They’re all processed junk.
