Happy Birthday Cornflakes!


Today is the 101st anniversary of the Corn Flake. A humble breakfast cereal, oft ignored by Phunkidz unless frosted, but a mainstay at the breakfast table across the country. If you haven't had your bowl today, mark your calendar for tomorrow and revel in the crunchy goodness.

1897:
Dr. John Kellogg, believing that a strict diet (along with vigorous exercise, fresh air and plenty of rest) benefits the patients at his sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, serves up the world's first corn flakes.
