Why is Grape Nuts cereal called that, when it contains neither grapes, nor nuts?!
Answers: Grape-Nuts is a breakfast cereal developed by C. W. Post in 1897. Post was a patient and later competitor of the 19th-century breakfast food innovator, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. Neither grapes nor nuts have ever been ingredients in the cereal. The original formula for Grape-Nuts called for grape sugar, which is composed mostly of glucose unlike most other sugar sources and food sweeteners which are principally sucrose. This, combined with the "nutty" flavor of the cereal inspired its name. But some employees at Post claim that the cereal got its name because the tiny nuggets resemble grape seeds or grape "nuts".
People ask that very same question about me all the time

Yeah! And what's the deal with Ovaltine?
What's the deal with Ovaltine? It comes in a round container, you put it in a round glass? Shouldn't it be called Roundtine?
EDIT --- Hahaha, I had no idea Lou D was gonna mention Ovaltine also. Weird coincidence.
because nuts are cruchy and so is grape nuts and grapes are sweet and so is grape nuts
Ya man! And why is butter popcorn called "butter" popcorn when there's no butter in it? Have you read the ingredients?
Because if it was called Crunchy Crap no one would buy it!
