God I am SO happy to have figured out the quotes...
That is true. Kellogg's Corn Flakes were the first attempt in that experiment. When the brother who didn't run the sanitarium noticed they actually tasted pretty good...bam. Kellogg's brand Corn Flakes were born.
I don't know about the family, but I know the brother who ran the sanitarium, John Harvey Kellogg, was a sick, sick man. Granted, I understand masturbation was a heavy taboo during that time period (along with the scandalous showing of ankle or elbow -_-), but his views and advocacy of the measures proposed by him are very seriously near what I'd consider torture.
Sigh...I do confess a weakness for Frosted Flakes (Can you blame me? They're grrrrrreat! I didn't think of that particular caveat in my last post
) though, so my horse isn't quite so high.
I just would rather like to introduce "Dr." Kellogg to the side of a baseball bat, is all.
