In the 19th century, Kellogg invented cornflakes as one part of a diet that he felt would lessen the sex drive and diminish the practice of masturbation, which he called a "crime doubly abominable." Dr. Graham invented the Graham Cracker for the same reasons.

Think about that next time you're munchin' on corn flakes or graham crackers!

nice!

that is funny...

I need a bowl of corn flakes now!

throws cornflakes out the window

**phew!

I still think there is an addictive substance in corn flakes.

if you think about it would make you rich

...I should invent something like that... 'cept it would have pionty blades and guns on it...

lol hey speaking of which did you know that Dr. Pepper was invented as an energizing health drink?

I knew about that about the Graham crackers but not Kellogg's, Coca-Cola originally had some extract of the cocaine plant in order to make the consumer an addict. Hence the "Coca" but it was hazardous to health so it was changed but still has something addictive in it.

so when cornflakes go limp its a metaphor for.....

Explains why I never liked em...
The only ever food/drink stuff I ever found to be addictive is beer

omg is beer addictive?

Kellog was right btw. I tried to masturbate as I was eating their cereal. It's tough.

Thank God I never liked Corn Flakes.

My mam called me corn once

does this apply to honey-nut cornflakes too? cos im sure that could have some even more disturbing effects.

Stupid corn flakes, trying to make me... How could they? Masturbation is not a sin

it is to some ppl

ew ew ew ew ew !

indeed

Yes it is, when I was confesing I told the priest that I didn't know what else copuld be considered as a sin.

And he said: Well have you commited any unpure acts ?

And I was like: What's that, talk spanish to me bro.

He said: Watching porn, masturbating ?

So you see ppl masturbation is in fact a sin.

Then a lot of people are sinning since 90% of the population do it and just dont admit it. Or something like that anyway

My mam called me corn once

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN ?

My mother called me corn before

She called you corn ?

Irish ppl talk weird

lol

Actually I don't think the cocaine was intended to get the consumer addicted. When they invented it they had no idea that it was hazardous to your health or even that it was addictive. My dad used to work in construction in San Francisco and he found this glass bottle that says "cocaine" on it. It used to be a very common ingredient in patent medicines, especially cough syrups.

Amphetamines (sp?) used to be the active ingredient in some type of inhaler (I forgot what it did). There was a period of time when there was a list of 39 different ailments you could prescribe amphetamines for. Then they figured out that it was dangerous, and outlawed it.

When ecstacy (sp?) was first invented, they called it "empathy" and it was used by phsychiatrists during councilling sessions. It was intended to make people feel more open and friendly to each other (hence the name). But, once again, someone decided to make it in such a high concentration that it no longer did the same thing, the shrinks stopped using it, and it too became illegal.

health workers are the cause of bad health
