Did you know that Kellogg Corn Flakes were invented on July 30, 1898? Before 1898, the typical American breakfast consisted of a greasy plate of eggs, potatoes, some kind of pork product and coffee. Delicious! Unfortunately that type of good eating existed only for those with the means to clog their arteries with an amazing breakfast. For the average Joe the first meal of the day was usually porridge, oatmeal or rye whiskey. It wasn’t until Will Kellogg introduced the corn flake that Americans had access to a nutritious and delicious breakfast.
To celebrate the 118th anniversary of the corn flake (as well as our JSJ75 anniversary), the James Gang enjoyed a healthy company-wide breakfast today. It’s the most important meal of the day…
Great Lunch+Learn today with Jay Weidner of Weidner Landscape Gardening in Beaufort, SC. We learned a lot about gardening, what plants to plant, and more importantly why most of what we plant doesn’t seem to grow how we think it should.
Thanks to Lesa Drummond of JSJ Savannah for organizing this terrific event!
