Get Cerealized! Become a Cereal Fan!,
This review is from: Cerealizing America: The Unsweetened Story of American Breakfast Cereal (Hardcover)
Scott Bruce and Bill Crawford have made an outstanding achievement in this historical, yet humorous account of the cereal industry. Find out how Cap'n Crunch came into being, as well as Coo-Coo Bird and Tony the Tiger. Learn about the different impacts that J.H. Kellogg, W.K. Kellogg and C.W. Post had on forming the cereal industry. Find which competitors cereals came into being and are still around, as well as those that were successful, but are no longer here. This book is a complete story of an industry that has impacted all of our lives as Americans as a part of pop culture. Who hasn't walked down a cereal isle in a grocery store and been effected one way of the other by the masterful marketing presented there? I actually bought this book at Cereal City in Battle Creek, Michigan, the home of the cereal industry. I immediately began reading it and could not put it down! I never thought I would find a book about breakfast cereal to be so fascinating. These two authors deserve a great deal of credit for compiling and writing a fantastic book. I highly recommend every American read this one, as it will pull at your heart strings and make your charge off to the grocery store with your spoon!

An evolutionary history,
By tom clapper (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cerealizing America: The Unsweetened Story of American Breakfast Cereal (Hardcover)
The history of the American breakfast cereal and how it evolved from a health food to junk food. Originally promoted by religious organizations it is now huckstered by the ad industry. This is also a history of popular culture and the role cereal played in promoting give away gimmics, comic characters, radio programs, and TV cartoons. It has all the elements of both tragedy and comedy. Highly recommended. Educational and entertaining. A great read.
