What is tattoo Tuesday about?
July 30, 2013
Today is Cornflake Day.
The invention of cornflakes was the result of a failed attempt by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, back in 1894, to create a healthful snack for patients at his sanitarium out of some stale grain. Dr. Kellogg had some strange ideas about health and well-being. You can read more about them here (bizarre alert.)
The flakes that resulted from his experimentation were a success. Dr. Kellogg and his brother tried the process with other grains including corn, and a cereal empire was born.
In addition to being a part of Kellogg’s astounding number of breakfast cereals, cornflakes can also be used in recipes, such as these from Pepper: Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow Cookies: Genius with a Touch of B*tch.
A cornflake tattoo? I could not find one. This is the closest I came:
By the way, did you know that Butterfinger candy bars are made with corn flakes that have been sweetened, mixed with peanut butter, and covered in chocolate? I didn’t either.
