Grape Nuts are the ying to Rice Crispys yang. While Rice Krispies snap, crackle and pop, Grape Nuts just sits there. While Grape Nuts have a maximum bowl cutoff of about 2.5, a standard lad or lass can easily down 5 or 6 bowls of Rice Krispies. There is one difference, however, that is Grape Nuts calling card: while Rice Krispies get soggy the instant you pour the milk on, one can enjoy a bowl of Grape Nuts while leisurely reading the morning paper and pausing intermittently to sip a cup of hot coffee. Scrump-nut-a-licious!
according to wikipedia: The original formula for Grape-Nuts called for grape sugar, which is composed mostly of glucose unlike most other sugar sources and food sweeteners which are principally sucrose. This, combined with the "nutty" flavor of the cereal inspired its name.
1. And why is a fullback only half of the way back and the halfback is all the way back? Only the quarterback seems to get it right. Actually, the center, tight end and the wide receivers seem to get it right too. The dumbest title has to go to the offensive tackle. There is really no such thing as an offensive tackle. They should be called "protectors."
2. Who knew an altered box of Grape Nuts could generate so many posts?

I call them Nape Grats (yes I realize it should be Nape Gruts, but that is not what I call them).

hm..grape sugar, I think I will pass
that's weird because my stately leather bound encyclopedia britanica doesn't say anything about grape sugar or nutty flavor.
What's the deal with Grape Nuts? There's no grapes and there's no nuts! What's the deal?
Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?....And why do you PARK in a driveway and DRIVE in a parkway????

1. what about guards in basketball? they do no more guarding than the center or forwards do.
2. i did not predict too many comments on my poorly altered box of crunchy nuggets. this has come as a bit of a surprise.
Did you know that Safeway's knock-off of Grape Nuts is in fact called Crunchy Nuggets?
I've indulged myself on a few occasions and they give the less aptly named original a run for its money. I prefer mine with honey.
i had no idea that crunchy nuggets already existed. maybe i should go into off-brand marketing.
i eat mine sprinkled over yogurt. often with some dried cranberries, walnuts, or the like.
That sounds lovely! rx
