Food you should eat to boost your mood
The most popular cereal in the U.S. overall, including Massachusetts, is Cheerios. General Mills started manufacturing this cereal in 1941 called 'CheeriOats.' Due to a claim from Quaker Oats who held the rights to use the term 'oats,' the name was shortened to 'Cheerios' in 1945. They now have 15 different flavors to choose from including 'Honey Nut Cheerios.'
According to the Associated Press, General Mills and other food producers had raised prices to offset rising inflation, resulting in profit margin boosts for many of them. Now they are among food producers trimming some prices to ease the squeeze on consumers.
'We did anticipate that might be the case as we see consumers taking value,' said General Mills CEO Jeffrey L. Harmening in a call with analysts. 'Consumers are still economically stressed, so that played out the way we thought.'
Today, the largest cereal brand in the United States, according to research by Zippia, is Cheerios, with a revenue of $18.126 billion and 139.1 million boxes sold in 2021.
