As an adult, cereal is probably only your first thought for breakfast if you need a quick bite because you're running late. However, what if we said eating cereal could make you stronger?

Alright, we don't know if it can actually make you stronger, but you know who it worked for? George Reeves, the actor who portrayed Superman in the 1950s TV series. In 1956, Reeves' face was plastered everywhere as Superman. Kids worldwide dreamed of being strong and heroic like the Superhero they watched on television every week in Adventures of Superman.

Their parents probably told them, "If you want to grow big and strong like Superman, you have to eat your veggies and drink milk." While this tactic was great for getting the children to eat and finish their food and beverages, they should've told them about the benefit of cornflakes—allegedly.

In an article titled, "George 'Superman' Reeves Must Eat Like Strong Man," written in 1956 by the International News Service, Reeves revealed that he ate the cereal for strength, although he was eating clams during the interview.

"Ordinarily, I would be eating cornflakes to keep my strength up. But during interviews, somebody always wants to know how I learned how to fly without wings, and at those times, I feel it's necessary to clam up."
