100% Bran

From: Post

Introduced in the mid 1930's.

Currently part of Post's Healthy Classics line, this cereal was originally produced by Nabisco. It is made of double milled wheat bran, sugar, malted barley flour, salt and fig and prune juice concentrates. This mixture is formed into the shape of small sticks and oven toasted to produce the cereal pieces.

Early ads claimed that the cereal offered "mild, gentle relief from constipation due to insufficient bulk", stating that "it's gentle because it's double-milled." A small disclaimer at the bottom noted, "If your constipation is not helped in this simple manner, see a competent physician."

Even in the 1960's, the cereal box proudly proclaimed that 100% Bran was a "Natural Laxative Cereal", but by this time, Nabisco placed the subtitle "The Good Tasting Bran" in slightly larger letters than those dedicated to the cereal's effect on the human stool.

Today under Post branding the cereal's high fiber content is most often promoted as part of a weight loss strategy.

Company Description: Founded by C.W. Post, the company began in 1895 in Battle Creek, Michigan under the name Postum Cereals. Their first product was a coffee substitute called Postum. The first breakfast cereal to come from the company was Grape-Nuts in 1897... Read on and see all cereals from Post

I agree with the others. We need the 100% Bran for our muffins. Wanted to make some but haven't been able to find it. Let's get it back on the shelves.

WHY oh WHY have they changed the formula for 100% Bran cereal - I have been eating 1/4 cup of it together with other cereals daily for years and now the box says it is "new and improved - stays crunchier in milk longer". It is AWFUL - it may be crunchier but it leaves my mouth feeling like I have just eaten bark off a tree. As for flavor, it initially tastes like cardboard and there is an aftertaste stays with me for hours. I also don't like that it clumps. I am afraid to even try it in muffins. If they don't change it back to what it was before, I won't be buying another box. The old adage - you don't change what ain't broke - applies here. I am very disappointed.

Discontinuing the sale of 100% Bran in the U.S. was the worst decision! Were sales really so bad here that now it's only available in Canada? I can't believe that because every time I went to buy some, they were sold out! I can't go to Canada myself! I hope the powers that be at Post will make this available again in the U.S. Please!

Please bring it back to the US. I have searched stores for years hoping it would appear again. My search online shows that it is in stores in Canada. So maybe they can bring it back to the states?
