Is this a well-known brand in Canada? Because it should be - it's outstanding.
Not well enough know for me to have heard of, but then I usually have the traditional bowl of oatmeal (actually, rolled oats) for breakfast. And speaking of cereal, I'd like to know how many bluegrass mandolinists were lured into eating Kelloggs Corn Flakes by Homer and Jethro's commercials ------------------- No, No! I'm just kidding!
