*** Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament: Sweet Sixteen ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
It was massively underseeded as a 10 seed, and running into the behemoth that is lucky charms made this an early elimination. Personally think it should have been a 1-2 seed.
So the seeding committee is responsible for this monstrosity.... aka the fix is in.
No Sugar Pops means MD is voting with a heavy heart.
Like watching the rest of the dance after the Cyclones have been eliminated...

And me! Actually, it's almost a dead-heat for me and I prefer to choose the underdog in such cases (plus Frosted Flakes won't need my assistance to advance, I'm pretty sure).
I think our cabinet at one time had Lucky Charms, Peanut Butter Crunch, Special K with Berries. Always had to have a box of Rice Krispies on hand for Scotcharoos.
I process my junk a couple times a day but that doesn’t mean I need it to be sugary
When did Raisin Bran become a Post Cereal? I have the commercial rattling around in my head from when I was a kid. 2 scoops of raisins are the reason, Kelloggs Raisin Bran is so pleasin'....prove me wrong!

The kids that were dropped on their heads typically frequent hawkeyelounge.com, but it is shocking that there are that many CF folks that werent loved as kids
Apparently Raisin Bran can't be trademarked as it is too generic and simply describes the ingredients.When did Raisin Bran become a Post Cereal?

Both have flakes that become mush in mik, personally, I prefer something that isn't mush in the mix as opposed to just making the mush sweeter.

I had to Google it. Interesting story.
Turns out that the history of Raisin Bran isn’t so sweet, and Kellogg’s was not always producing Raisin Bran… In 1925, the brand “Skinner” began selling a breakfast cereal with bran flakes and raisins. They called it Raisin-BRAN. They were the only company to sell a cereal called Raisin Bran, and they even trademarked the name. They had a monopoly! …until 1942. In that year, both Kellogg Company and General Foods Corporation began selling bran flake cereals with raisins in them. They called it Raisin Bran.
But Skinner had a trademark on Raisin-BRAN! Skinner contacted General Foods and Kellogg, reminded them of the trademark, and asked them to change their name. That didn’t work. Skinner, Kellogg, and General Foods eventually went to court. Skinner claimed that because of their trademark General Foods and Kellogg could not cereal under the name of Raisin Bran. Skinner ended up losing the case for two reasons: (1) raisin bran is a description of the product, just as raisin pie would describe a pie with raisins. and (2) General Foods and Kellogg’s had their name on the box of Raisin Bran, so it would not be confused with Skinner’s Raisin Bran.
You can still buy Skinner’s Raisin Bran. On their box it even says “America’s First Raisin Bran.”
Just another reason for me to never vote for Raisin Bran. Kellogg's screwed over the little guy.
