History with Hilary - February 26

Happy birthday to John Harvey Kellogg (born February 26, 1852)! He was the American physician who developed dry cereal!

I asked Twitter & Facebook what cereal they think of first when they think of Kellogg's...here are the results!

Frosted Flakes - 8 (They're g-r-r-r-eat!)
Corn Flakes - 6
Special K - 4
Raisin Bran - 1 (Two scoops!)
Rice Krispies - 1 (Snap Crackle Pop!)
Froot Loops - 1 (Follow your nose!)
Honey Smacks - 1

I watched a bunch of old commercials on YouTube. Remember when Honey Smacks were called Sugar Smacks? And when Raisin Bran commercials instructed you to add sugar at home? Yep.

What is History With Hilary?
Every day, I take a self-portrait based on that day in history! The plan is to eventually make a book and/or calendar!

Select prints from my History With Hilary are for sale. Proceeds help to support the project, which is getting a little pricey! View them at Etsy!

I'm also accepting donations, including costumes, wigs, fabric, and props! Please email me at historywithhilary@gmail.com.
