Corn flakes




Americans think they invented everything, arrowheads, teepees, totem poles, but this time they actually did invent something, corn flakes. 

Two American brothers Will and John Kellogg discovered corn flakes by smashing together ears of corn and sugar cane with great force then sweeping up the pieces and toasting them. So it is a three step process. 

Now they smash corn and sugar beet and get the same thing. 

They sell their product for $4. 00 a box for they are Americans and use that insular currency. This is a noncompetitive price for something so simple as smashing together two commodity crops so competition arose to undercut that sharply at $1.00 a box and still be profitable.

I almost forgot to mention, the value people prefer the cost to stay at $1.00 but commodity prices fluctuate so the size of the box fluctuates too. Pursuing that policy eventually will lead to the boxes being the size of an individual portion. 



The people together cannot decide which language to use so they carry on in any language at all switching back and forth between them, you get used to the sudden jolts and eventually it comes naturally. Very often you will see the same thing in multiple languages on the same document, like the Rosetta stone.
