Common Sense Oat Bran
From: Kellogg's
Introduced in 1987


According to this 1988 magazine ad, "Recent medical studies suggest that oat bran can be important to your good health... But what these studies don't show is that Kellogg's new Common Sense Oat Bran cereal contains more oat bran than any leading ready-to-eat-cereal. Nor do they discuss just how great Common Sense Oat Bran tastes."

Company Description: Kellogg's was originally founded as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906. The company's founder Will Keith Kellogg is credited with inventing corn flakes along with his brother John Harvey Kellogg. The company was renamed the Kellogg Company in 1922...

    Best cereal ever. I haven't stopped talking about it for over 2 decade of not having it. I miss it SO much, really wish they would bring it back.

    Best cereal on the market by far. Why doesn't Kellogg's market this cereal as an oat variety of the Raisin Bran brand?

    This was the only packaged cereal I ever liked. Please bring it back. I used to have to order from the company because it was no longer available in the Seattle area. I would happily go to that trouble again. Please!

    There is no other cereal like Common Sense Oat Bran. Why did they remove this cereal and when will they bring it back?
