How many stars are in the big dipper?

ANSWER: Food

Shredded Wheat


The product known today as Shredded Wheat was the invention of Henry Perky of Denver, Colorado. In 1892, he took his idea of a product made of boiled wheat to his friend, William H. Ford, in Watertown, NY - a machinist by trade. Here they developed the machine for making a “biscuit,” which they then baked - creating a palatable dry cereal which would keep. Perky’s original intention was to sell the machines, not the biscuits. He returned to Denver and began distributing the biscuits from a horse-drawn wagon in an attempt to popularize the idea. The company he formed was known at the time as The Cereal Machine Company.
