Cheerios At Bedtime

So often I buy CHEERIO IMITATION CEREAL to stretch my grocery dollars.  I've had pretty good luck on getting cereal that taste good and I still call it cheerios even if they have a different name.

Tonight I ate the real McCoy.  CHEERIOS in a bowl of real milk.  I did the same last night and slept like a baby.  Many people are told not to eat before going to bed.  I have read that protein before bed WILL help you sleep better.  I agree.  So I had myself a small bowl of Cheerios with milk.

History

Cheerios was introduced on May 1, 1941 as CheeriOats.  The name was changed to Cheerios in 1945 due to a trade name dispute withQuaker Oats. Cinnamon Nut Cheerios was the first departure from original Cheerios in mid-1976. Second was Honey Nut Cheerios, introduced in 1979.

Manufacturing

All Cheerios shipped to the eastern coast of the United States and eastern Canada are manufactured at the General Mills plant in Buffalo, New York.  In 2009, a dispute developed, regarding the FDA considering Cheerios an "unapproved new drug" because of its marketing and health claims.

In January 2014, General Mills announced that it will halt the use of genetically modified ingredients in original Cheerios.
