The Backstory: Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies and a Billion Dollar Feud

from The Backstory with Patty Steele · host Elvis Duran Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

Breakfast pre-1900 usually involved fried meats, eggs, biscuits, and potatoes. Then a kitchen fail at a health sanitarium led to a whole new way to eat your morning meal. After that, a vicious disagreement between the Kellogg brothers allowed one to build a multi billion dollar company with Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies and other cereal recipes he'd stolen from his brother.
