Well hello once again NATIONAL TODAY..
If there is one thing that Patti and I do, it is to enjoy Raisin Bran for breakfast each and every single day.
So let’s have a “Look See” at this NATIONAL TODAY Holiday.
On November 15 every year, raisin bran cereal lovers in the U.S. can raise a bowl and celebrate National Raisin Bran Cereal Day.
Since its first appearance in 1926, Raisin Bran has been a staple in many American households thanks to its high fiber content and nutritional value.
There was quite a court battle over the name Raisin Bran.
In 1944, Skinner Mfg Company, the originator of Raisin Bran, 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.

We buy Raisin Bran at Sam’s Club in Bullhead City, Arizona. We buy eight boxes, two bags in each box, of Raisin Bran at a time. It is vastly less expensive than the smaller store boxes of Raisin Bran.
In the below box are sixteen individual bags of Raisin Bran.
There you all have it!

Here we go yet again. National Today has two Holidays about the same topic.
National Today? Do we really need two individual Holidays about recycling!
November 15 is National Recycling Day.
According to “National Geographic,” Americans send 64 tons of waste to landfills during their lifetime. That’s 246 million tons of waste each year. National Recycling Day aims to encourage Americans to purchase recycled products and recycle more.
Recycling is a much older concept than we give it credit for. Archaeological studies have found that during periods when natural resources were sparse, waste dumps show less household waste,

America Recycles Day is celebrated every year on November 15.
It is also known as National Recycling Day.
The day is all about recycling — how to recycle, which recycled products to buy, and how to reduce waste.
The first America Recycles Day was announced in Florida, and over 40 states participated.
Over the years, the National Recycling Coalition has worked on spreading the events throughout the country.
Now there are over 3,000 events throughout all 50 states.

Patti and I support recycling. In our community in Anchorage we (and this varies across Anchorage) have to drive 15 minutes to a recycling location.
In other Anchorage communities, as is common elsewhere, the residents have recycle containers. We do not have recycling containers that you simply put everything into (cans, glass, cardboard, paper from newspaper to all other types of paper). We have to separate the various types of plastic (1 and 2. We can not recycle type 5 plastic). Cardboard is separate from paper. Metal (steel) cans are separate from aluminum cans etc.
Two links for the two separate holidays.

I LOVE raisin cereal, especially Raisin Bran! When I was a young teen I was the only person in our family to wake with my dad as I always rode my bike early to school for band or choir. One year Raisin Bran had a special that for every 4 box tops you sent in they’d send a Corningware bowl with a glass lid (named a grab it bowl). My dad and I ate Raisin Bran for over a year, and I sent in for 4 bowls that I still use today. My dad was so funny about it for years and would make jokes of turning into a raisin for eating so much. Those 4 bowls stayed in my hope chest until I got my own apartment, and I’ve used them ever since. He was a great man that would do pretty much anything for this number four (of five) child. I miss him and mom everyday.
Smiles, and be well. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Kit. I just spoke with Crocodile Dundee and he said: “Now THAT’S a Post”! Kit I seriously doubted that we would get a comment on this Post. So we really appreciate you taking the time and going to the effort to leave such a complete comment. Patti and I both remember the various Cereal Box “offers”. One of them featured paper airplanes you could get, then fold and assemble them, put a penny in the nose and fly them. Such a deal getting four Corningware Bowls with a glass lids! And you still have them! Lots of Smiles Kit. Cap and Patti
Oh I remember some of the paper planes. We made several based on their pattern as well. :)
