National Raisin Bran Cereal Day
On November 15th, the country's go-to cereals are served in a bowl. Bran Cereal Day is on November 15th.. These cereals have been a staple in many American breakfasts for generations, made from toasted oat or wheat flakes with plump raisins added.
Since 1925, a number of firms have been producing raisin bran cereal. Those firms include Kellogg's Raisin Bran, GM, Total Raisin Bran, U.S. Mills, and Ralcorp's Post Raisin Bran. However, U.S. Mills was the first in the United States Mills. Skinner's Manufacturing Company, headquartered out of Omaha, Nebraska, was the first to Skinner's Raisin Bran in 1925... Skinner's first with raisins included was the first to be sold although other bran cereals existed, Skinner's debuted the first with raisins included.
Skinner's exclusive right to the word "raisin bran" for many years, but that didn't stop others from making their own. Skinner's Manufacturing Co. had been in operation since 1918. And, as the country's largest macaroni producer, they weren't going to let it go without a fight. They brought their mark to court. Despite being first and trademarking the product, Skinner's lost on the grounds that the terms "raisin bran" are simply ingredients.
