Nutty Gripe: No Grapes or Nuts in Grape-Nuts Cereal
Throughout the years, cereal companies have made many claims. Corn Flakes was branded as a masturbation deterrent when first created. Well, it did not stop eaters from doing the dirty deed. Post’s Grape-Nuts cereal one would think there are either grapes or nuts inside the box. It has only four ingredients: whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, salt, and dried yeast.
