"Balls of dough are heated and shot out of a 'puffing gun' at hundreds of miles and hour." Yum, right? Well, yeah, of course:
The answer, of course, is Cheerios.
The iconic cereal, known by its distinctive yellow box, is 70 years old this year and still a force on the breakfast cereal market. One out of every eight boxes of cereal to leave the shelf in America carries the Cheerios name.
You can't just tell someone these days to "pick up a box of Cheerios" since there are about a million kinds. I like the honey nut variety myself, mixed with a lttle spoon-size shredded wheat and Grapenut. Can't imagine watching Saturday morning cartoons without it.
