What’s for breakfast? Since September is all-American Breakfast Month, Tidbits is checking out what’s in the cupboard for the best meal of the day.

• What do eggs, bacon, oatmeal, toast, and waffles have in common?

They’re all jentacular, which is a fancy word for “pertaining to breakfast.”

• Drs. John Harvey Kellogg and William K. Kellogg first produced the wheat flake in 1894. Four years later, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were introduced, and in 1906, the company made its headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Kellogg Company was the first to create “Waxtite” wrappers to package product inside cereal boxes. William K. Kellogg funded several charities throughout southern Michigan, donating more than $66 million to worthy causes during his lifetime.

• In 1928, Kellogg’s presented Rice Krispies. In 1939, Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day created the longtime favorite recipe for Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats as part of a fundraiser for the Campfire Girls. The 1930s also brought the introductions of Snap! Crackle! And Pop!, the animated mascots for the cereal.

BREAKFASTS (continued): • Back in 1921, as a Minneapolis health clinician was mixing up a pan of bran gruel for his patients, he accidentally spilled some of the glop on a hot stove. It sizzled and crackled and became a crisp flake before his eyes. Thinking it could be a good breakfast item, he presented it to the local Washburn Crosby Company (later General Mills). The mill went to work developing a flake that wouldn’t crumble inside a box, and after 36 tests of different grain varieties, in 1924, Wheaties were born. The company held an internal contest to name the flake, and the entry submitted by an employee’s wife was chosen. The name Wheaties beat out Nutties and Gold Medal Wheat Flakes.

• Radio’s first ever singing radio commercial advertised Wheaties in 1926. In 1933, an advertising company came up with the slogan “Breakfast of Champions,” a phrase still in use today. Baseball player Lou Gehrig was the first athlete to be featured on the Wheaties box in 1934, and was followed up with Babe Didrikson, Jesse Owen, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, and several other well-known athletes. However, their faces were all pictured on the side or back of the box until 1958. That was the first year that the picture was on the front of the box, when Olympic pole vaulter Bob Richards was featured. Basketball great Michael Jordan has been on the Wheaties box a record 18 times.

• With all the health benefits of oatmeal, who wouldn’t choose it for breakfast on a regular basis?

It helps lower cholesterol, reduces the risk of high blood pressure, is rich in antioxidants, reduces hardening of the arteries, helps stabilize blood sugar, and boosts the immune system. Sounds like it’s nature’s perfect food!

• There are several kinds of oats on the market, including old-fashioned oats, which are whole oats that are simply rolled to flatten them. Quick oats are made the same way, but are cut into smaller pieces for a faster cooking time. Steel cut oats have not been rolled, but rather are cut into thirds, making for a longer cooking time and thicker texture. The oats in instant oatmeal are rolled thinner and cut finer. Livestock eat about 95% of the oats grown in America.

• The Quaker Oats Company was the first to register a trademark for a breakfast cereal. The Quaker Oats man image was registered with the U.S. Patent Office in 1877. Although some think his image is that of William Penn, he was registered simply as “a figure of a man in Quaker garb.” The owners selected the likeness because he signified “good quality and honest value.” Quaker was the first to include a recipe on its package, as well as having the original idea of including a premium in the box, which in 1891, was a chinaware item. Their familiar cylindrical canister came along in 1915.

• You may not recognize the name of John Gilchrist, but it’s likely that his face is familiar. From 1974 to 1986, Quaker used him, along with his two brothers Michael and Tommy, in an ad campaign for Life cereal. While the older brothers refused to try the cereal, John, known as Mikey in the ad, happily ate Life, and his brothers chorused, “He likes it!”

• General Mills introduced Cheerioats in 1941, but due to a trademark conflict, the names was changed to Cheerios in 1946. Although Wheaties had long had athletes on their boxes, it wasn’t until 2009 that Cheerios featured their first, Olympic gold medal winner, gymnast Shawn Johnson.

• As far back as 1820, the British were singing the rhyme, “Do you know the muffin man?” During the Victorian period, many households had fresh baked goods delivered to their door by the muffin man, who brought not the cupcake-like confection Americans call a muffin, but rather a flat round bread baked on a griddle. Today, of course, we call them English muffins.

BREAKFAST (Continued): • In 1971, McDonald’s had no breakfast business. After one franchisee cooked up an egg, added cheese and Canadian bacon and put it on an English muffin, the company adopted his idea calling it the Egg McMuffin. About 25% of McDonald’s sales are from breakfast sales these days.

• In 1919, Minnesota mill owner John Campbell started a company with $900 worth of poker winnings. He added malt flavoring to farina cereal and dubbed his creation Malt-O-Meal.

It’s now the third largest producer of cereals in the United States with 1,400 employees and annual sales topping $750 million.

The number of varieties has grown from one hot farina cereal to 28 bagged types.

• Many breakfast cereals have an animated mascot as their “spokesman.”

Tony the Tiger became the official mascot of Kellogg’s new cereal Frosted Flakes in 1951. In 1955, Trix hit the grocers’ shelves, with a silly rabbit constantly trying to get children to give him a bowl of the cereal. He’s always been told, “Trix are for kids.” When Trix entered the market, it was composed of more than 46% sugar!

WAFFLES In conjunction with All-American Breakfast Month, Tidbits gives you info on this week’s celebration of National Waffle Week.

• Waffles have been around since about the 9th century, although people were using a type of waffle iron to make communion wafers prior to that time. The word “waffle” has its origin in the Dutch language, meaning “wafer.” Beginning in the 13th century, waffle-making plates were stamped with various designs, such as a landscape scene, family crest, or religious symbol • When Thomas Jefferson returned from a stint as Ambassador to France in 1789, he brought a long-handled waffle iron home with him and is reported to have regularly held waffle parties at his home. In 1869, 60-year-old Cornelius Swarthout received the first patent for a stovetop waffle iron.

General Electric debuted an electric waffle iron in 1911, even though homes with electricity were few.

• What North Americans call Belgian waffles don’t even resemble those found in Belgium. The Belgians call theirs Brussels waffles, which are quite crispy on the outside and made with yeast rather than baking powder like their American counterparts. In 1964, Maurice Vermersch sold fluffy Brussels waffles at New York’s World’s Fair. Because he didn’t think anyone would know where Brussels was, he called his creation Belgian waffles. A Belgian waffle is larger with a deeper grid pattern and larger squares than a standard American waffle, and is frequently topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar.

• We owe the ice cream cone to a wafflemaker. At the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, the owner of a booth selling ice cream ran out of cups and sought assistance from a waffle vendor who helped by rolling up waffles to hold the ice cream.

• By the 1930s, the electric waffle iron was a common appliance in most households. Prices ranged from $7.50 to $12.00, depending on whether it had a signal bell that rang when the waffles were ready.

RYAN REYNOLDS Did you know that one of Hollywood’s hunkiest leading mean hails from up north? Let’s look at the life of Ryan Reynolds, who at age 37, already has 28 movies under his belt.

• Reynolds’ humble beginnings were in Vancouver, British Columbia, where his father was a food wholesaler and his mother worked in retail.

Reynolds himself worked in a grocery store in his youth.

• At age 15, Reynolds was cast in a teen soap called Hillside in Canada, and known as Fifteen in the U.S. He also co-starred in the TV movie Sabrina the Teenage Witch during his youth.

• Since he failed his high school drama class, it didn’t seem like he was destined for a big career in movies, but at age 20, fellow Vancouver actor Chris William Martin convinced Reynolds to head to Los Angeles. Reynolds loaded up his Jeep, and on the pair’s first night in L.A., the Jeep was vandalized. He drove it for the next four months without doors.

• At age 19, Reynolds attempted to earn his skydiving license, but it was an endeavor gone wrong. On his 13th jump, his chute malfunctioned, coming out vertically rather than the normal horizontal. Fortunately, he had a reserve chute, and safely landed eight miles away from the drop zone. The incident left him with a fear of flying and a vow never to skydive again.

• Reynolds got his first break at age 21 in the role of med student Berg Bergen in Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place. The story of three Boston University students sharing an apartment ran from 1998 to 2001, and Reynolds appeared in 81 episodes.

• Reynolds hit the big screen in 2002 with Van Wilder, which led him to roles in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and as a vampire hunter in Blade: Trinity. It was a slow but steady climb to stardom with The Amityville Horror, X-Men Origins, and The Proposal opposite Sandra Bullock. Shortly after the release of The Proposal, Reynolds was selected as People magazine’s 2010 Sexiest Man Alive.

• Reynolds’ romantic life has been filled with a series of lovely ladies. From 2004 to 2007, he was engaged to a fellow Canadian, singer Alanis Morissette. Shortly after their breakup, Reynolds became engaged to actress Scarlett Johansson, and four months later, the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in British Columbia in September, 2008. By December, 2010, the marriage was over. While filming Green Lantern, in which Reynolds portrayed the DC Comics crime-fighting superhero, he first met his co-star Blake Lively. They were married on a South Carolina plantation in September of 2012.

• Reynolds’ charitable work revolves around research for Parkinson’s Disease, spurred on by his father’s diagnosis with the disease. Reynolds is on the board of directors of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Disease, and he ran in the 2008 New York City marathon on behalf of this organization.

• Two out of three of Reynolds’ older brothers are police officers in Canada – one of them is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police member. On the subject of Canada’s favorite sport, Reynolds has joked, “I’m not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place.”

DOG AND CAT SHELTER

PET OF THE WEEK

Chloe is a fourteen-year-old brown, black and white Long Hair tabby. She LOVES to be around people, but not so much around other cats. Chloe Cat will need to have a home with no other animals. Dry food is not her favorite, nor are treats, but give her some wet food and she is very content.

She loves getting groomed and petted, but is rather touchy about her tummy being touched. Chloe Cat is one of those low maintenance gals that likes some attention.

Emergency Call List Should Include Pets DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I wanted to pass along a suggestion to your readers. Last summer, we moved to a new city. The day after we moved in, our cat “Lace” became critically ill in the middle of the night. With no Internet connection set up, my wife used her slow, older smartphone to look up a 24-hour emergency clinic. We found one that was a 30-minute drive away. Lace got there in time and has recovered pretty well, but it haunts me that it took us nearly 20 minutes to look up the location of that clinic.

Please tell your readers that they should write down the number and address of their pet’s regular veterinarian and the nearest emergency vet clinic on their list of important numbers, and keep it next to their home phone or saved on their cellphone. If they are moving to a new area, they should look up the clinics nearest their new home and have that information ready just in case something happens while they’re settling in. -- Curtis, via email DEAR CURTIS: You told them, and I thank you! This is an era when many people no longer have a phonebook waiting for them on the day they move in (something that was almost standard 20 or so years ago). Instead, we rely on Internet and cellphone connections to get critical information.

The plus side of having an Internet connection is being able to look up important locations -- such as the vet, the emergency clinic, the doctor and dentist ... and the nearest pizza place -- before leaving your old city.

Having a contact list, both on paper and stored on your computer or cellphone, also is important in an emergency such as a house fire or a natural disaster.

NATIONAL WAFFLE WEEK (continued): • The Waffle House chain got its start in 1955 when neighbors Joe Rogers and Tom Forkner joined forces in Atlanta, Georgia. Joe was working for a restaurant chain and Tom was in the real estate business when they made their dream a reality. Although the friends didn’t intend to start a chain, by 1961, there were four Waffle Houses.

Today there are 1,700 in 25 states. Since their 1955 debut, they’ve sold close to 900 million waffles and served up more than 2.5 billion eggs. All the bacon they serve in one year, laid end-to-end, would wrap around the equator. Every year, customers eat close to 350,000 lbs. of pecans at these restaurants. The site of the very first Waffle House is now the company’s museum.

• Three San Jose, California brothers are responsible for Eggo frozen waffles. Tony, Sam, and Frank Dorsa introduced their product to grocery stores in 1953, calling them Froffles, but when customers started calling them “eggos” because of their “eggy” taste, the name was changed in 1955. Eggo waffles are now a division of Kellogg’s, and their advertising slogan “L’eggo my Eggo” is a familiar one.
