Funny story about breakfast cereals.
Bland, tasteless foods were believed to curb the urge to masturbate in the Victorian era.
Mr. Kellog, deciding that masturbation was too much of a problem for the world, developed a very bland food called Corn Flakes so that young people wouldn't have the urge to masturbate.

Same deal with Mr. Graham and his crackers.

just wondering if the generic was close to the real stuff...i tried the chrunch berries just werent the same.  coco puffs arent as good as the real ones either..the generic tends to be harder

Golden Grahams rock!!  Generic cereals usually don't taste as good as regular cereal but there are some that actually are up to par with the non-generic brand.

Three things:

1) During the Victorian Era, masturbation was considered cause for putting someone in an insane asylum.  It was believed thatmasturbation lead to all sorts of things, one of which was insanity.

2) The article says that Kellogg wanted to help the insane people, and one way of doing that in his mind would have been to curb masturbation.

It said they were  invented on accident.  I honestly don't care what her later used them for.

Also, you should come see Slither with us on Saturday.  A bunch of us are going.

Leon, I wasn't trusting the Internet on that one, I was trusting my psych. professor.  I figured since the topic of the class is human sexuality that she knew what she was talking about.  The details may not work out exactly, but this is what she told us.  

It does say that they were invented accidentally, but he did use them this way.

And I won't have a "weekend" till the end of the semester, too much work to do.  Accordingly, I will be stuck in West Lafayette until the end of the semester.  School is fun.

Never trust your Psych. Professor for anything she read of the internet.
