I'm sorry, but fried cranberry sauce?? Ick! Why ruin it's gelatiny goodness with greasy fried batter?

You know, a year ago that might have sounded pretty good. Today? Blahhhh, it sounds... icky.

Funny how tastes change yet the taste for Dove Milk chocolate NEVER changes!

As Ewell Gibbons explained, "Many parts of the pine tree are edible"

[BlooEyez 13]

Who?

[WASaBubbleButt 41]

Me tooooo.

[marjon9 6]

Who?

Ewell Gibbons was a naturalist who wrote "Stalking the Wild Asparagus"

He is probably best known today for being in Grape Nuts commercials in the '70s and '80s. Grape Nuts called on Ewell Gibbons in order to suggest that Grape Nuts was a very healthy and natural thing to eat. In this series of commercials, as part of the process of demonstrating his claim to fame as a naturalist, Ewell Gibbons famously explained: "Many parts of the pine tree are edible."

Some of us are so ancient that we actually remember seeing these commercials (like me).

Rumor has it that Ewell Gibbons died eating astroturf. That last sentence is not true. The rest is true.

Here is a Euell Gibbons Grape Nuts Commercial on YouTube. I know you will enjoy it. I also point out that one thing I learned from this evenings exchange is the correct way to spell ol' Euell's name. So make yourself a big bowl of popcorn and curl up in front of the computer and enjoy this Euell Gibbons Grape Nuts Commercial. And then I'm sure you'll be in the mood to head on down that ol' ribbon o' highway and get yourself a box o' Grape Nuts. I know I will.

To further encourage healthful eating including the nutty taste of Post Grape Nuts as part of a healthy Breakfast, I share yet another significant Grape Nuts commercial from Yesteryear. Euell Gibbons is not involved.
