Corn
Flakes
In
1898, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (sounds familiar?) and his brother Will Keith
Kellogg accidentally left cooked wheat out long enough that it became stale.
Hoping to turn the stale wheat into long sheets of dough, the Kellogg brothers
forced it through rollers, but the rollers flaked the wheat instead. The
brothers then toasted the flakes and found it perfectly edible. Later, Will
Keith tried the same method on corn and thus was the beginning of
corn flakes cereal.
In
1906, W.K. Kellogg created the first consumer batch of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
More than a century later, the Kellogg brothers' cereal empire includes more
than 30 products. As of 2013, corn flakes' sugar-coated alternative
Frosted Flakes ranked #2 on the list of 10 best-selling cereals in the U.S.
