Here’s an interesting tidbit of history from June 19, 1941. The round shape was created on this day in 1941.
A little history
- Original Cheerios® was invented in 1941 by food science innovator Lester Borchardt.
- Originally named “Cheerioats,” healthy, wholesome oats have always played an important role as the cereal’s main ingredient.
- Borchardt spent months experimenting with new ways to “puff” oats into the now familiar shape people and families have loved for generations. Not only did he invent the original Cheerios®, Borchardt went on to be a leader in finding practical and affordable ways to feed the world.
I love cheerios and make all sorts of different recipe treats with them. But that’s for another post!!
Cheerios is one of my fav but never know the history.. Thanks for the post
