Happy Birthday Corn Flake


Today is the birthday of the corn flake. On March 7th, 1897, Dr John Kellogg served up the first corn flakes to patients at his sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan. The corn flakes he served were sugarless and tasted nothing like the cornflakes we eat today. His brother Will added sugar to them and marketed them as a breakfast food which caused a fallout between the two brothers.
Today, Kellogg's is the world’s leading producer of cereal, with it products being sold in 180 countries around the world.
