What is this about graham crackers and cornflakes?

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

I knew about corn flakes, but not about graham crackers. Basically, the inventor of corn flakes whole reason for inventing them was to give young men something to eat in the morning that was so incredibly boring they would lose the will to ever get hard again. Or something like that.

Both were purposely bland foods designed only for the purpose of discouraging masturbation, which Graham and Kellogg were convinced drained life energy.

Again, US has always been weird about sex.
