Euell Gibbons For Grape Nuts (fixed sound)

Naturalist Euell Gibbons (author of "Stalking the Wild Asparagus") in one of his well-remembered 1970s Grape Nuts ads. Sadly, this isn't the one where he eats a pine tree. http://en.wikipedia.org/w...

Wow, I never tasted pea gravel. You must be a really dedicated researcher!

I've eaten more pea gravel - including grape nuts cereal - before 9am than some researchers have eaten all day long.

THAT, my friend, is called dedicated research!

You all know that grape nuts is basically a bowl of bread crumbs, right?

They bake these chunky loaves of darkish bread and bust it into little nuggets. Then they spray on the usual mix of vitamins and minerals that most box cereals get.

So other than not having much added sugar, they're not really much of a health food, just a big bowl of high glycemic carbs and some fiber. The fiber's good for you, I suppose.

Well, my understanding is that they bake it a second time after making the nuggets, but yeah, you're right on the money. I kind of like it anyway.

Fun fact: The reason it's called Grape Nuts is that the inventors of the recipe were convinced the process produced grape sugars in the cereal.

Yeah, I've always liked it too, a lot of people don't though.

Problem is I can't eat it on a diet, it's actually quite fattening, not a heath food.

You must have great teeth! 

Or was it one of those bread bowls?

Okay, I ate a bowl of Grape Nuts that morning. Actually the bowl was probably softer as it was plastic.
