Golden Grahams

Golden Grahams sample size

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.

Golden Grahams was introduced in 1976, and the earliest TV commercials featured a jingle sung to the tune of the James A. Bland song "Oh, Dem 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 because it was banned for the sugar levels it contained ^{[<span title="I can find no record of any food ever being banned in the UK due to "sugar levels". I believe it to be an urban legend to explain the withdrawal of foods for other reasons. (April 2013)">citation needed]}. 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, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda supermarkets. In line with Nestlé's other cereal brands, they now contain reduced sugar and are made from whole grain.
