Euell Gibbons For Grape Nuts (fixed sound)
Loading...
Uploaded by 3zy on Jul 6, 2006
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.

I like Grape-Nuts, but they hurt my teeth. It gets its name because it resembles grape seeds, hence grape "nuts". It actually is a good tasting cereal.
-
@sxymelissannt They're called "Grape Nuts" because the sweet taste was thought to be plant sugars, also called "grape sugar", and "nuts" because the crunched like them.
-
@3zy "Grape sugar" being a bit of nomenclature applied at the time to any sugar made from fruit. Today, we actually term it "glucose".

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.

Heh heh, won't turn away an opposition response. A comedian in the 80s liked to say they called it Grape Nuts because Peach Gravel didn't test well.
