Golden Grahams
Golden Grahams is a brand of breakfast cereal owned by General Mills. It consists of small toasted square shaped cereal pieces made of whole wheat and corn. The taste is a mix of honey and brown sugar. The cereals Cinnamon Toast Crunch (known as Curiously Cinnamon in the UK) and French Toast Crunch developed out of Golden Grahams, with cinnamon being the most popular.[citation needed]
Golden Grahams was introduced in 1976, and the earliest TV commercials featured a jingle sung to the tune of the traditional American song "Golden Slippers". The cereal is still widely available in Europe, USA and Canada. It is produced by General Mills.
It used to be sold in the UK in the early 2000s, until eventually being taken off the shelves for unknown reasons. In October 2010, Nestlé began producing Cinnamon and Golden Grahams in the UK again, announced on newly-created Facebook group. So far, they are only available at Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Asda supermarkets and are now made from whole grain, in line with Nestlé's other cereal brands.
This cereal contains trisodium phosphate.
