I remember eating puffed rice or wheat at my grandparents. Just remember it being in a plastic bag with Popeye on it.
I was so mad this morning. There was no cereal sauce in the fridge!
Day ruined, luckily we still had toast.
Now, THAT was a cool video; right up my alley, especially the part about blowing stuff up.
Food science is interesting; “processed food” is not all junk food, although much of it is. The whole idea is to make something that’s hard to prepare properly or digest easier to do one or both. And that guy – David? – is quite right in his observations about the early days of cereal, especially Kellogg. He was a wack-o.!
Uncle Al, The Road to Wellville if you haven’t yet seen it.
Seems a bit messy.
Stan Freberg parodied puffed cereals in a skit called Bang Gunley US Marshall Fields sponsored by Puffed Grass Cereal whey they shot cereal out of a large gun to get it to puff with the tag line, after all 10 million cows can’t be wrong.
Al, swear to God I was thinking you’d like this video.
And the other person is IC.
Oh, and how good is David on camera?
Eat lead ya crazy varmint.
Hint, hint. Anything that comes out of the business end of a gun isn’t good for you. Or cereal in general actually, gun fired or not.
Fun video though.
Cereal is bad for you?
Post Great Grains is very good for you and very tasty too.
The milk makes it even healthier.
Even though I haven’t had it since, as a kid I loved Puffed Rice. One thing I remember though is that it did need sugar! I’d start out with a heaping tablespoon and I’d keep adding it as I went. When I got to the bottom there were 3 puffs of rice left and a gigantic mountain of sugar. Those last three puffs were like Kiddie Crack.

Mostly it’s the spike in insulin that is it’s biggest fault.

@BFH – Ya got me pegged! And, yes, I was very impressed by David. Intelligent, quick, articulate, knowledgeable, personable. And to top all those secondary assets, he’s a white male. (-;
My mom had the best way to fix puffed wheat. She’d put a little butter in the skillet, brown the puffed wheat, and add salt. Yum!
We also ate shredded wheat in a non-standard way: hot milk over buttered shredded wheat biscuits (the big ones), and, of course, add salt. Also yum!
Wheetabix is very good.
When we were young we took bottle caps, added a kernel of popcorn and put them over a fire we started.
We popped a kernel at a time!
Those were simpler times.
So glad I grew up in those days.
Fact: Cold breakfast was invented by sexual repressed men named Kellogg & Graham who thought to curb ‘urges’ brought on be a hot breakfast
Fact: Cold breakfast is a multi-billion dollar industry
Fact: There are fewer children being born today, in the USA, per family than ever before
coincidence? … I think not!
(Fact: I prefer a hot breakfast 😉 )

I was a chemical process operator for thirty-five years. Different processes to make one thing into another fascinated me. You wouldn’t believe how polyethylene is made from ethylene gas. It’s incredible.
