  • I forgot to include it in the video, but the original marketing for Corn Flakes was to tout them as “pre-digested”. 😂 Don’t forget to sign up for the upcoming newsletter which will have extra bits of history. Link is at the bottom of any page on www.tastinghistory.com/

    "Yogurt enema" qualifies as a two word horror story.
  • @quartzninja
    Every time I eat a bowl of frosted flakes, I like to imagine that Kellogg is screaming at me from Hell.
  • Dr. Kellogg was more than a bit of a freak - a prurient weirdo. But his brother had some solid business sense.
  • @Serenity_Dee
    Avoid shallots?! Never! You can have my alliums when you take them from my cold, dead hands.
  • @RdeneckTech
    "The Road to Wellness" is a great book. The movie was pretty good too. "One should never interrupt a man's desire to defecate." Hahaha
  • @Sammydx1
    My Grandfather ate the same breakfast for 50+ years Corn and Bran flakes mixed, Spoonful of sugar, cut up banana and whole milk
  • @benn454
    Every time I hear someone talk about Kellogg, I have PTSD flashbacks to the scene in The Road to Wellville where Sir Anthony Hopkins, playing Kellogg, demands stool samples from his "patients" and judges them based on their samples' size and consistency.
  • "Sir? I don't think I can eat 3 quarts of yoghurt." "Oh, it's not going in that end!"
  • @gregf9160
    A disturbingly weird and unpleasant individual. I used to think these stories were just urban legend, years back when I first heard them, but then -- nah -- all turns out to be true.
  • @javaks
    The Hard Tack Tap was totally unexpected.
  • Me about to learn Kellogg's story: "interesting, let's listen to it" Me after knowing Kellogg's story: "yeah, let's put that away and never talk about it again"
  • @hoolialynn26
    Had to explain what an enema was to my 6 year old. He hasn't stopped giggling since.
  • @kjmok
    9:10 "that's a lot of water" was pretty hilarious i laughed instantaneously lol
  • @debiancool
    The "stop winking" thing had me actually laughing. I love the directness! Must have been a fun time to be a grocer
  • There’s a movie about this made in the mid 90s. It’s called “the road to wellville “ it stars John Cusak and it’s actually a pretty good comedy.
  • My great uncle is the designer of Cornelius Rooster. He was an artist and in the late 1950s helped a neighborhood kid with some artwork for a Kellogg cereal contest. He drew Cornelius Rooster. I'm not sure if he was aware of the Kellogg design contest or if he was just helping a kid with a drawing. I'm guessing the contest was open to just children? I've tried to find information on it but nothing exists. Next thing my Great Uncle knows he's seeing his design on a box of Cornflakes.

    "... need to get some industrial rollers ..." You went from 'quick' garum to making proper garum, Max - now I'm looking forward to two years from now when you rent a factory floor for a day just to make corn flakes the proper way. 😆
