National Raisin Bran Cereal Day
Foodie fans today is National Raisin Bran Cereal Day. Truth be told I'm not a big raisin bran cereal eater... I like it, but I don't have a lot of cereal around the house. I'd say once or twice a year will raisin bran enter my house and it's a 50/50 chance that the box will get emptied before being pitched...
Today, the best known brand is Kellogg's Raisin Bran, introduced in 1942. It is known for its advertising slogan, "Two scoops of raisins in Kellogg's Raisin Bran" and its mascot, an animated sun named "Sunny" introduced in 1966. Kellogg's now also markets a variety called Raisin Bran Crunch, which contains crunchy oat and honey clusters. Raisin bran is touted for its high dietary fiber content, but sometimes criticized for containing too much sugar; raisins naturally contain high levels of fructose- in addition, to prevent clumping many manufacturers sugar the raisins.
