The following is a little article about Chex Cereal Coupons. Coupons themselves were invented in 1887 by Asa Candler a partner and subsequent owner of the Coca Cola company which is why Chex Cereal Coupons have been available since the cereal’s inception in 1937.
Asa Candler realized the coupon could be used to entice people to try his Coca Cola product by offering a free sample with the presentation of a coupon.
Chex cereal and Chex cereal coupons were originally produced by Ralston Purina. That’s right Ralston Purina the animal feed mill. The cereal was invented as a profitable use of excess grains. The name Chex and the design of the Chex cereal checker board shaped cereal piece was based on the Purina logo that remains in use to this day.
Breakfast cereals quickly became favourites in most homes by the 1950′s and with technologies growing by leaps and bounds the advertising methods seemed almost unlimited. Chex cereal coupons have survived as well and still can be clipped in local papers. However that is no longer the only way to access Chex cereal coupons.
The Chex cereal product line which includes 13 different types of Chex cereal from Wheat Chex to chocolate Chex and almost any flavour in between were sold to General Mills in 1997. The Chex mix party snacks line was also sold to General Mills as part of the deal.
Along with the sale to General Mills the old Chex cereal coupon got a real overhaul. No longer would the coupon sit idly in the grocery section of the newspaper, no longer would the intrepid Chex cereal coupon have to sit in a little basket attached to the shelf where the Chex cereal resided in the grocery store.
