Hot Slut Of The Day!
Concentrate Cereal!
The Wonderbra was invented in 1964. The hand-held calculator was invented in 1967. And the Post-It was invented (not by Romy & Michele, crazy I know) in 1974. Kellogg’s Concentrate cereal came out in 1959. Is it a coincidence that all those LIFE-CHANGING inventions came out after the high-powered brain food in a bowl known as Concentrate came out in 1959? Not: I think!
Either I was a suburban child from the 1960s in my past life, or I’m delusional (it’s the second one), because I really thought that I fed my brain with Concentrate before, but that’s not possible. Because Concentrate never made it out of the 1970s.
Mr. Breakfast says that after the nutrients-filled Special K became a hit for Kellogg’s, they decided to inject steroids into Special K and that’s how Concentrate was born. Concentrate not only made minds blow up with knowledge because of all of its nutrients (more than Special K), it also made minds blow up with how many vitamins and nutrients they were able to fit into one cereal.
- Protein – more than an egg and two strips of bacon
- Vitamin B1 – as much as three ounces of pork
- Vitamin B12 – as much as one ounce of meat or fish
- Vitamin B6 – more than five carrots
- Niacin – more than three ounces of beefsteak
- Folacin – as much as three ounces of broccoli
- Iron – as much as two ounces of beef liver
- Vitamin C – about as much as a four-ounce glass of tomato juice
- Vitamin D – as much as a quart of vitamin D milk
- Riboflavin – more than 4 ounces of cheese
What I didn’t know about Concentrate cereal is that you could sprinkle some on other cereals or yogurt or whatever to really give you a boost and turn your piss stream into that neon yellow it turns when you eat vitamins. Or you could add milk and it’d expand.
On InThe70s, posters say that the box was smaller than regular cereal boxes, and they couldn’t really describe the taste.
It is a damn shame that Concentrate cereal isn’t around anymore, and not because I want to eat little nuggets of wheat germ vitamins, but because that little gold cereal box was the epitome of morning glamour. You probably really energized yourself from taking in the protein rich looks of pure jealousy coming at you as you walked the streets carrying your box of Concentrate like a clutch.
