Frying pan cooking a delicious breakfast during a camping trip outdoors
I’ve been eating the same thing for breakfast for about 10 years, which, as you can probably guess, is far from the record
I switched from oatmeal to granola bars to finally settle on an almond, peanut, and pistachio mix (click here to see the actual product) about a decade ago. I have no idea why, but I still can’t get enough of having that every weekday morning.

Clarence Frett, who lives about 3 hours from here in Marion, Iowa, is a Wheaties guy
Clarence loves Wheaties so much that he started pouring them into his bowl in WWII when he served in the US Coast Guard, and still does today, at 100 years old.

“I turn over a bowl of Wheaties and put a little bit of sugar and a little bit of milk in it,” Frett said. “That’s my breakfast, I don’t eat much more than that.”
Wheaties turns 100 years old. Clarence will be 100 years old next month. Clarence’s daughter, Renee, emailed General Mills to see if she could put her father’s face on a box of Wheaties, as the greatest of all time.
And General Mills loved the idea.
