Reading cereals was popular, spelling not so much.
Is any of this true?

It was technically legal for a few months, and a few we're "mailed" as gags or publicity stunts. Anyone can be nominated for a Nobel Prize, Trump was nominated. The Kellogg's thing is trues, dogs, idk.
@MsKathleen No-one packaged their children and literally sent them through the mail. People had postal carriers transport their children, 7 instances between 1913-1915. There may have not been an official law against it until it until 1930.[history.com]
@Druvius The Kellogg's thing is not true. [historyofyesterday.com]
@barjoe Apparently it is a "2nd hand" he may have said something similar. Cornflakes were created as a health food. He was a really strange dude.
@Beowulfsfriend Kellogg was a Capitalist, who invented a product and marketed it under the guise of “healthy”. Much like a number of doctors are doing today. Seen any doctor’s supplement ads online?
In the UK it was, and probably still is quite legal to mail people, a couple of people, including a feminist activist, tried to get to see the prime minister by mailing themselve to him.
Hitler was nominated for the Nobel prize, the peace prize no less, in 1939, by a Swedish polititian, but keep in mind that that is only nominated, not awarded.
