I just bought an interesting book at an airport, "Salt, Sugar, and Fat." All about the history of the processed food industry, how they formulate and market their products, and how they developed some of their biggest sellers like Tang and Sugar Frosted Flakes. Which are now just "Frosted Flakes." Good read.
When I was a kid, I put about a tablespoon full of sugar on my bowl of Sugar Frosted Flakes. Didn't think it was sweet enough unless I had a little milk-soaked sugar from the bottom in every spoonful. The idea is nauseating to me now.
