Grape Nuts's Slogans & Taglines

Grape-Nuts is an American breakfast cereal brand developed in 1897 by C.W. Post in Battle Creek, Michigan, making it one of the first ready-to-eat cold cereals in history. Made from whole wheat and malted barley flour, baked into rigid sheets and then ground into crunchy nuggets, the product contains neither grapes nor nuts. Its name derives from the "grape sugar" (glucose) produced during baking and the cereal's nutty flavour. Originally marketed by the Postum Cereal Company, the brand became part of General Foods in 1929 and later joined the Kraft portfolio, and today is produced by Post Consumer Brands. The cereal has a storied legacy of fuelling adventure, having accompanied Admiral Byrd's 1933 Antarctic expedition and Edmund Hillary's 1953 Mount Everest ascent. The product line includes the original nuggets and Grape-Nuts Flakes, positioned as a high-fibre, whole-grain breakfast staple.
