1912 marked the first sale of the Oreo cookie. Interesting that in the Land of the Free, we do not commemorate the creation of such an icon, but the commercialization of it.
March 6 was National Oreo Day.
March 7, National Cereal Day. Cereal had a strong following among American New World Colonials, with stories of the settlers eating popcorn in milk with sugar, making a kind of "cereal" for their breakfasting enjoyment.
Flash forward to Battle Creek, Michigan, where Doctor Kellogg had his infamous clinic, and developed Corn Flakes, in the name of nutrition and digestive health, for the general populace.
