We toured Kellogg's Cereal City today, whcih we thoroughly enjoyed. We saw how Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes are made, tasted fresh Corn Flakes, saw Tony the Tiger, and got our picture on the front of a Frosted Flakes cereal box. We also saw Lego sculptures of Kellogg's logos Tony the Tiger; Snap, Crackle, and Pop; Tucan Sam; and Dig'em. The tiger sculpture was made with over 40,000 bricks, and over 8,000 on the Snap, Crackle, Pop sculpture. I saw Legos that I've never seen in stores. There were a lot of hands-on activities for everyone to do. We saw many old cereal commercials, and got to vote in polls for which Kellogg's cereal we liked best. Did you know that Post Cereal was started by a man who also helped start Kelloggs? He left Kellogg's and took the ideas he had learned, and started Post Cereal before Kellogg's started their production. Also, Yogi Bear started on Kellogg's commercials, and from there went on to be a major TV cartoon character on his own shows. We also learned that cereal has been a part of the world for centuries. It was a fun day. We are leaving lower Michigan tomorrow for Mackinaw City in the northern part of the state.
