Nothing to Get Hung About

John Lennon and the Beatles never had an antagonistic relationship with breakfast cereals. Prized Beatles memorabilia, in fact, includes 1969 Nabisco Wheat Honeys and Rice Honeys boxes featuring the Yellow Submarine characters. (Boxes in good condition fetch something like $2,000 each these days.) And Lennon, of course, who loved corn flakes, famously wrote the song “Good Morning, Good Morning” after seeing a Kellogg’s commercial that featured the jingle, “Good morning, good morning/The best to you each morning/Sunshine breakfast/Kellogg’s Corn Flakes crisp and full of fun.”
