Cereal has been known as the country's most popular breakfast item since the end of the 19th century. The origins of cereal dates back to 1854, when Ohio store owner used a hand oats grinder in the back room.
Although it's great in the morning, it's not just for breakfast anymore. Many people use cereal as a snack, in cakes, cookies, and even to make treats like those popular workplace potluck items, Rice Crispy treats.
Over the years, it hasn't been easy for cereal brands, though. With the latest health trends, new allergies, and the popularity of being gluten free companies have seen a drop in sales.
