I can remember rare occasions as a child when I would wake up for school and there would be pancakes, eggs and bacon on the table and orange juice or Sunny Delight to drink. These exciting occasions, however, were just that: rare. Most days I would bound down the stairs to the toaster loaded with Pop-Tarts. I would usually be disappointed that I couldn't devour a wholesome breakfast, but I later came to understand the convenience of the Pop-Tart. My parents could put pastries in the toaster and continue to get ready for their day without having to worry about too much clean-up. It was during these early days of my education that I really found a love for the sugary, fruit-filled pastries. Post Cereals was the first company to come …show more content…
Along with their release to stores across the country, store managers were instructed to put the Pop-Tarts in the cookie and cake aisle, opposed to the cereal aisle where the Post Country Squares were faltering in sales.
Kellogg started out with only four flavors of Pop-Tarts: apple currant, blueberry, cinnamon and strawberry. Over the years they have come out with a variety of different flavors including chocolate, French toast and a very popular s'mores version. The company decided not to frost the original version because the creators thought that the frosting might melt in the toaster. The developers later came to realize that the frosting would not melt in the toaster, however, and the first Pop-Tarts with frosting were released for sale in 1967.
In 1971, Kellogg decided to introduce Milton the Toaster, a cartoon character that would be used to help promote the product. The character was a hit with the sample audiences and was launched nationwide, but the campaign was terminated after a commercial showing Milton the Toaster being hugged by a child fostered a fear that children may try to copy the commercial and burn themselves.
Pop-Tarts came under a lot of scrutiny in 1992 when a man named Thomas Nangle sued Kellogg for damages on the grounds that his Pop-Tart got caught in his toaster and started a fire. The

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Who here didn’t have their breakfast this morning? I bet most of you did. I used to be one of those too until last month when I did a research on Biology and by chance, came across a fact about how important breakfast is. I believe that as soon as you heard the topic, you will assume that I am going to give you a life lesson as your parents do. “Breakfast is the most essential meal” is spoken by every mother, yet the reasons why we should eat breakfast have never been clarified more clearly and seriously. The following speech will highlight that breakfast is required for three main reasons; first, it helps improve our grades; second, it controls our balance diet; and more importantly; it can promote
Initially, children were malnourished during the post-World War II era. Now children are stuck trying to wedge themselves in between the door to a long, healthy life, which may be brutally cut short simply due to the way they ate in school. Eating habits and diets aren’t questioned by the children until they are faced with the decision of choosing the best nutrient filled option. Multiple choices, abundant in carbohydrates, proteins and good, natural fats surround a child, yet the child is an environment laced with advertising, thus alluring a child into picking fries instead of the mixed steam vegetables. Soon, children realize the chocolate taste better than the fruit, yet no child knows at the age of five that fruit doesn’t give its victims
Some say breakfast really isn’t that important. Stronglifts.com states that, breakfast is not healthier people who don’t eat breakfast are usually the ones who don’t exercise and grab a doughnut on their way to work, eat junk food at noon and a big dinner in front of the TV. This can be true but, some other breakfast foods can be unhealthy also not just a doughnut. Daron Taylor claims that, “If English citizens suddenly began to eat a traditional English breakfast every day, one that comes in at a whopping 855 calories with over 2,000 grams of sodium, the United Kingdom would most likely be facing a monumental national health crisis. The author doesn’t explain why, breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. NPR’s Allison Aubrey claims that “a breakfast of just this kind of sugary cereal is not the way to start the day.” What the author fails to consider is that some people don’t have the money to go eat a healthy breakfast each day.
The importance of a healthy breakfast cannot be underestimated. A child who is undernourished in the morning will not be functional for her class until lunch. Also, schools can act as supporters of positive, healthy behaviors by offering nutritious breakfasts such as fruit and yogurt, versus the fast food breakfasts some adolescents might grab, if they get breakfast at all. Many school districts are beginning earlier and earlier in the day, and students are simply not hungry enough or do not get up early enough in the morning for breakfast, leaving them starving by 10am. Being able to grab breakfast in study hall can thus prevent many potential academic and nutritional problems.
To most of the people peanut butter and jelly sandwich is one of the best breakfast. Also I believe that there is nothing better than a sandwich for breakfast, because sandwich is easy to make and there are lots of stores sold sandwich as breakfast. There must a store near you sold sandwich as breakfast. When I was little, both of my father and mother have to go to work early. My sister takes care of me and she is the one who made breakfast for me. I still remember that the first time I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwich she made for me, the bread was burnt black and hard, but the peanut and jelly was sweet. No matter how terrible the bread is, the sandwich still very delicious. And the sandwich is full of love and warm. Time goes by, my
A common idea presented to everyone at an early age is the importance of breakfast and that skipping it can have dire

Even though PEP cereal is no longer sold anywhere, one advertisement during its era of popularity brings up controversial points. The classified ad seems to be of antique value, dating back to as early as the 1930s in which the cereal was first released. The photo features a husband just getting off work, dressed in a suit, putting his arms around his wife. It is defined that the wife is wearing typical housewife clothing (heels, cooking apron, dress, and feather duster), returning the husband’s embrace with a smile. The picture also features a box of vitamins in the left lower corner, along with sayings by both the husband and wife. It seems that the intended audience is marketed towards the general public, deeply rooted in traditional gender roles.
In yet another campaign, Edward Bernays changed what we eat for breakfast. Today bacon and eggs are as American as apple pie, but this wasn’t always the case. American breakfast as we know it is barley a century old. Prior to this, breakfast was lighter and often meatless. Breakfasts would include fruit, a grain porridge (such as oat, wheat or corn meals) or a roll, and orange juice or a cup of coffee. Edward Bernays changed all that. Bernays was hired by Beech-Nut Packing Company to increase consumer demand for bacon. Beech-Nut produced everything from pork products to bubble gum. Bernays turned to his agency’s internal doctor and inquired of him if a heavier breakfast would be healthier for the American public than a lighter breakfast. The
THESIS STATEMENT: Breakfast is an essential part of your morning routine because it kickstarts your metabolism, helps you concentrate and perform better in class, and aids in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Family life did a study in 1997 and discovered that the score of standard mathematics of students who ate breakfast was 13 points higher than the students who didn’t. (Logos)
Transition: However, it seems that these are all things too severe and don’t connect to breakfast. But they do. Eating in the morning sets your pace for all day and as college students, you need all the energy you can get to retain all the crap you’ll learn. I feel however that as more young people fall into the fitness craze that the simple fact of eating a healthy
My target area began as a focus on eating more in general. The food available at PSP was not always ideal, many times the food was either unhealthy or there simply weren’t enough options that I enjoyed. As a result, I noticed that my weight began to significantly decline and I desperately wanted to allay this problem. After completing my log sheets over three weeks, I came to the realization that the bulk of my missed meals came in the morning. I would sleep until eight to make sure that I received adequate sleep, however, I realized that in doing this; I was forgoing breakfast which was negatively affecting my health and my performance at Cornell. In fact, “research involving adults and children has indicated that breakfast might enhance memory, attention, the speed of processing information, reasoning, creativity, learning, and verbal abilities” (Consumer Reports). No matter a person’s age, breakfast is a vital part of their life.
