Wheatena
Introduced in 1926
The following description of this cereal comes from a 1926 Magazine Ad:
No more coaxing! Children love Wheatena - the delicious whole wheat cereal!
Imagine a cereal co delicious that you child will reach for it eagerly - a cereal so tempting that's there's no more need of coaxing, cajoling or bribing your child into eating it.
Wheatena is just that kind of cereal. There's something about the toasty nut-like flavor of Wheatena that tempts the most reluctant appetite - something so inviting that children welcome it and often ask for a second helping.
Wheatena was produced by The Wheatena Company of Rahway, New Jersey.

This is one of the few old time hot cereals that hasn't changed in all the years. The others are Cream of Wheat (any farina, to be honest), Cream of Rice, Malt-O-Meal, and any oatmeal. Plain is always best.

It is difficult to find, but I found it on Amazon. Available in 4 or 6 box packs. It keeps so no big deal for bulk buy. Then I never run out. I mix it with 1/2 Wheatena and 1/2 Cream of Wheat.

I love Wheatena, but cannot find it in any grocery stores here in Berkeley, CA. We mix it together with other grains to enjoy that unique roasted flavor.

I love Wheatena but con no longer find it in Southern California stores. I used to go to Texas and find it, but no longer can do. I am alone and can only use one box at a time. HELP. I need Wheatena.

We get it at Winn Dixie and Publix. This is the only cereal, made with milk, that carries me all day and doesn't leave me collapsing 2 hours after eating. I believe the measure is 1/4 cup Wheatena to 1 cup milk or water, simmered and stirred for 5 minutes.

It's a fabulous cereal - too bad it's hard to find. Harris Teeter stores have Wheatena; also at the "gourmet" Safeway store in Fairfax, on corner of US 29 and Chain Bridge Rd (about 1 mile S of Vienna Metro).
