You know a cereal I always liked but I don't think they make anymore 'Just Right'.

I think I ate grape nuts once. I remember it being like eating gravel.

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

boil some milk, add the grapenuts, and some butter and sugar
wait for the grapenuts to not be hard as a rock and break ur teeth. let them cool off for a bit, that shit is cash.

"Despite the name, the cereal contains neither grapes nor nuts; it is made with wheat and barley. Post believed that glucose (which he called "grape sugar") formed in the baking process. This, combined with the nutty flavor of the cereal, is said to have inspired its name. Another explanation originates from employees at Post, who claim that the cereal got its name due to a resemblance to grape seeds, or grape "nuts." The cereal originally prepared by C. W. Post when developing the product was a batter that came from the oven as a rigid sheet. He then broke the sheet into pieces and ran them through a coffee grinder to produce the "nut" sized kernels."

Made out of dough and shaped like a nut. Dough ring doesn't have the same cache

Difficult to imagine a more bland cereal.

Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible.

That's the most remembered line from a Grape Nuts commercial featuring Euell Gibbons who was famous for eating wild plants. He did the commercials in the early 70s. I assumed he was in his 70s until he died in December of 1975 and it
was announced that he had just turned 64 in September.

I can't find the original commercial but here is a later one.

I like their original slogan:

"Grape nuts.

They may taste like shit but at least they'll break your teeth."

You shouldn't need a recipe for cereal.
