15. Corn Flakes
Corn flakes are a staple of the American diet for many people in some form or another. They make a healthy breakfast with some almond milk and banana’s or even a flakey crust to coat just about anything in. Good ol’ Keith Kellogg was helping his brother cook at his place of employment one day when he stumbled upon the recipe for what we know as corn flakes. They were cooking meals for the residents of the Sanitarium when he left some bread dough out on the counter for a couple hours. The dried out dough was flakey, but he decided to see what would happen if he baked it anyway. The result—corn flakes!
