(Sorry.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cap\u2019n Cruch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good captain\u2019s full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch, and\nhe captains the S.S. Guppy. The original voice of Cap\u2019n Crunch was Daws Butler,\nwho not only voiced such iconic characters as Elroy Jetson and Yogi Bear, but\nalso taught the next generation of voice actors, including Nancy Cartwright\n(the voice of Bart Simpson).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Grape-Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grape-Nuts contains neither grapes nor nuts and, according\nto their website, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grapenuts.com\/our-story\/#:~:text=What's%20in%20a%20name\">two\ndifferent stories<\/a> for how the cereal got its name. In 1933, Grape-Nuts\nsponsored Sir Admiral Byrd\u2019s expedition to Antarctica\u2014renowned for the first\ntwo-way radio communication with someone on the southern continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frosted Flakes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Frosted Flakes was first introduced in 1952, there were\ntwo mascots: Tony the Tiger and Katy the Kangaroo. Tony was a hit and became\ntheir forever mascot. For over 50 years, Tony was voiced by the talented (and\nawesomely named) Thurl Ravenscroft, who also sang the immortal \u201cYou\u2019re a Mean\nOne, Mr. Grinch\u201d in the original <em>How the Grinch Stole Christmas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lucky Charms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1964, after a challenge to develop a new cereal using\nexisting manufacturing capacity, General Mills product developer John Holahan combined\nCheerios and cut-up Circus Peanuts. An advertising company came up with the\nidea to market the new cereal around the popular charm bracelets, and the rest\nis magically delicious history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reese\u2019s Puffs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is a new cereal, it still has some historical\nroots. H.B. Reese used to work for Hershey, before retiring and starting his\nown company. His big success, of course, was his Peanut Butter Cups, which\ninspired this poofy cereal. But as comedian Mitch Hedberg pointed out in\nregards to the Peanut Butter Cups, there\u2019s an apostrophe in the name. That\nmeans these Puffs belong to Reese. So, if you are ever eating a bowl of Reese\u2019s\nPuffs \u201c&#8230; and a guy named Reese comes by and says, \u201cLet me have that,\u201d you\nbetter hand it over.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And a bonus fact for the cereal you\u2019ve probably never heard\nof:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Granula<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, it\u2019s not the cereal lovechild of granola and Dracula,\nbut it <em>is<\/em> the oldest cold breakfast cereal. Invented in 1863 by James\nCaleb Jackson, it never really caught on: probably because the cereal was so\nhard it had to be soaked overnight in order to be edible. That\u2019s why it had the\nnickname \u201cwheat rocks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bowl. A spoon. Some milk (of some sort).
