THE SECRETS BEHIND YOUR CEREAL
KELLOGG’S® APPLE JACKS® CEREAL
Made by Kellogg’s, Apple Jacks was first introduced to the United States as Apple O’s in 1965. The current name, Apple Jacks, was the result of advertisers looking to change the name in 1971. Originally, Apple Jacks contained only orange-colored cereal Os; it wasn’t until 1998 that the green Os were incorporated into the mix. Interestingly, Apple Jacks Cereal was the brainchild of an MIT student, William Thilly, who was hired by Kellogg’s as a research assistant. As a reward for his work at the company, William was invited to create a product, and thus, Apple Jacks Cereal was born.
GENERAL MILLS CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH CEREAL
This cereal debuted in 1984 with the aim of replicating the flavor of cinnamon-sugar toast. The cereal’s initial mascot, Chef Wendell, started appearing in commercials in 1987, but he was ultimately replaced in 2010 with cartoon squares of the actual cereal, known as “The Crazy Squares.” Advertised as the cereal with “The Taste You Can See,” each square has a unique pattern of cinnamon-sugar swirls, which served as the inspiration for our Cinnamon Swirl Bundt.
