National Raisin Bran Cereal Day | November 15

NATIONAL RAISIN BRAN CEREAL DAY

National Raisin Bran Cereal Day on November 15th pours a bowl of one of the country’s go-to cereals. Made from toasted oat or wheat flakes with plump raisins added, these cereals have been a staple in many American breakfasts for generations.

#RaisinBranCerealDay

Since 1925, a variety of companies have been producing raisin bran cereal. Those companies include Kellogg’s Raisin Bran, General Mills, Total Raisin Bran, U.S. Mills, and Ralcorp’s Post Raisin Bran. However, the first was U.S. Mills. In 1925, Skinner’s Manufacturing Company based out of Omaha, Nebraska, introduced the United States to Skinner’s Raisin Bran. While other bran cereals existed, Skinner’s debuted the first with raisins included.

Raisin bran is a good source of dietary fiber.

For several years, Skinner’s held the exclusive right to the name “raisin bran” but that didn’t stop others from making their own. Skinner’s Manufacturing Co. had been in business since 1918. And as the country’s largest producer of macaroni, they weren’t going to let that go without a fight. They took their trademark to court. Despite being first and trademarking the name, Skinner’s lost on the grounds that the words “raisin bran” are merely ingredients.

HOW TO OBSERVE RAISIN BRAN CEREAL DAY

Since raisin bran is the star of the day, enjoy it as a snack or for breakfast. If you’re not a big fan of bran, you can always separate the raisins. Or maybe you’re not a raisin fan. Did you know you can make wine from raisins? It’s true. So, have your bran and wine, too! Celebrate and use #RaisinBranCerealDay to post on social media.

OK, which is your favorite: Kellogg's Raisin Bran, or Post Raisin Bran? (For me it's Aldi generic Raisin Bran...)

Am I the only one who buys bran cereal and fresh, plump raisins separately and then mix them? I’m convinced the rock hard things they try to pass as raisins in raisin bran cereal are put there by dentists.

This really ticks me off. Sure, raisin bran deserves its own day. But when does Danny Devit-o’s get its own day?
