Looks like I need to go to the Grocery Store so David can celebrate a #Holiday that falls on November 15th National Raisin Bran Cereal Day. Before you ask what about Charlie and I neither of us eat Raisin Bran do you?
On November 15th every year, Raisin Bran Cereal lovers in the U.S. can raise a bowl and celebrate National Raisin Bran Cereal Day. The delicious and nutritious Cereal, which has existed for decades, certainly deserves its own holiday.
Raisin Bran is a breakfast Cereal containing you guessed it Raisin and Bran Flakes. The Cereal can be popped straight into the mouth as a midday snack, spooned down with Milk as Cereal, or remade into a new meal using a Raisin Bran recipe. Since its first appearance in 1926, the Raisin Bran Cereal has been a staple in many American households thanks to its high fiber content and nutritional value.
While the history of National Raisin Bran Cereal Day is not yet known, we can certainly regale you with tales of how the high fiber cereal came to be. In 1925, Skinner Manufacturing Company, the largest producer of Macaroni in the U.S. at the time, introduced the first Raisin Bran brand to hit the market, “Skinner’s Raisin-BRAN.”
Before then, Bran Flakes had existed, having been introduced in 1915. However, Skinner was the first company to attempt adding Raisins to the Bran Mix, thereby creating the wonderful Cereal people have come to love today. They had also trademarked the name ‘Raisin-BRAN’ a year after they introduced the Cereal into the market
For 17 years, the Omaha-based company held the sole ownership of the name “Raisin-BRAN” until 1942 when Kellogg’s and Post started to sell their own versions of the cereals. Naturally, Skinner fought for their invention.
The company filed a cease-and-desist against their competitors so they could keep their monopoly on the Raisin Bran product. Skinner claimed trademark infringement and unfair competition from the other two Cereal masters.
However, in 1944, Skinner lost their right to the name after the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled that a name that described the ingredients of an item could not be appropriated as a trademark.
The court claimed that there was nothing revolutionary about the mixture of Raisins and Cereal Flakes, although we would gladly debate them on that claim That is why today, any brand can create their own Raisin Bran version and name it just that.
