Remember Corn Flakes With Instant Bananas?

Post by Riddick » 09-18-2024 01:26 PM

I'd clean forgot about that breakfast cereal innovation! Musta seemed like a genius move back then & yet it din't stand the test of time - Via Weird Universe, introduced in '64 Kellogg's pulled the plug 2 years later.

To pitch it they had Schnozzola on piano with a tweak on one of his old standards

After a few months of brisk business, sales sunk like a rock. Tasting like "cardboard discs in a box," it turns out "those little banana wafers looked like holy communion wafers. When you put milk on them, they started to look dark and mushy."

When Kellogg's dropped the line & wanted he switch to the main line corn flakes, the Schnozz turned up his nose- "he says, 'Where are da bananas?' and we said, 'Well, Jimmy… this is without bananas,' and he said, 'No bananas, no Durante.'"
