Hey, friends, have you ever noticed how some folks just sleep through their breakfast? Well, they drift to the table, they nibble at nothing and they float to the station. And then all of a sudden, about halfway to lunch there, wide awake with that hungry, all-dawn sensation.
Well, here's what to do about that situation. You just bring on a breakfast that stars multi-rich, toasty, brown grape-nut flakes. A bowl full of crisp, tempting sweet as a nut grape-nut flakes acts as a really grand breakfast time eye-opener.
But grape-nut flakes bring you a wide awake goodness, a flavor that tees as your taste. That's because it's an outstanding rich, too grain blend. to grain blend of some ripen wheat and malted barley, combined in a very special way.
So don't rely on the alarm clock and don't resort to icy showers. Eat up and wake up with delicious mallet-rich grape nuts flakes. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. Talk if you're not, ladies and gentlemen,
