The term "Grain Gods" was coined by Scott Bruce and Bill Crawford in their book "Cerealing America: The Unsweetened Story of American Breakfast Cereal". Here it is meant to showcase those cereal characters that have been so popular that they achieved a certain immortality that transcends their life on the cereal isle --- they have been elevated to the status of "Grain God".
