National Cereal Day
Each year, National Cereal Day is March 7th, so we should get our bowl spoons ready for National Cereal Day. Since the end of the 19th century, cereal has been America's most popular breakfast dish.
Now, not only is cereal used for breakfast, but it has also become a common bedtime snack. Some people even like a bowl for an evening meal. Bakers are switching to cereal in their cake, cookie, and bar recipes. Rice Crispy Bar Treats is the most popular one.
A little cereal history: a little cereal history:
In 1854, Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant, started the cereal revolution with a hand oats grinder in a back room of a small store in Akron, Ohio. His German Mills American Oatmeal Company was the country's first commercial oatmeal manufacturer. Schumacher introduced the Quaker symbol in 1877, the first registered trademark for a breakfast cereal.
Granula, the first breakfast cereal, was introduced in the United States by James Caleb Jackson, the owner of Our Home on the Hillside, in 1863, but the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York, was later replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in 1863. The cereal never became popular because it was inconvenient, as the heavy bran nuggets needed soaking overnight before they were tender enough to eat.
The cereal industry emerged from a combination of sincere religious convictions and commercial interest in healthy foods. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's experimented with granola. He boiled some wheat, rolled it into thin films, and baked the resulting flakes in the oven; he obtained a patent in 1891. Cornflakes were introduced in 1895 by Cornflakes, who overnight established a national market.
William K. Kellogg, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's brother, after working for John, died away and established the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906. His signature on every box became the company's trademark and insurance of quality.
Grape-nuts were introduced in 1898 and then followed by Post Toasties in Charles W. Post's.
Battle Creek, Michigan, Michigan's city has been dubbed the "Cereal Capital of the World" because of Kellogg and Post.

History of national cereal day has spanned history
The identity of the day's founder has fruit us for a loop after two scoops, a draw, and a second helping. We tried boo berry hard. If it were a life mission, perhaps it would be more than just trix for kids. However, we know that if we snap, crackle, and pop a few more times, we'll certainly score the lucky charms we krave that will lead us to the answer. Our capt'n crunches in the research department may seem corny, but our capt'n crunches in the research department are hilarious!
Cereal FAQ
Q. Who's idea was it to give away prizes with cereal?
A. For that answer, look to the original cereal manufacturers. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg begged children to eat his cereal with a reward in exchange for a mailed proof of purchase. However, within the box, the prizes were soon distributed.
Q. Is cereal boxes still contain toys?
A. These days, cereal manufacturers are very rare to include toys in the cereal box. Occasionally, a cereal manufacturer will hold a toy in a special sale, as GM did in 2020. However, today's cereal manufacturers are focusing on tech-savvy children and their own bottom line by attracting the kids to the internet in order to earn awards, certificates, and more.
