Grape

Grape-Nuts was another new grocery item working to grow its brand around the turn of the 20th century. This healthy cereal was developed by C.W. Post in 1897, although the name may be misleading—there are no grapes or nuts in it. Instead, the breakfast staple is made with wheat and barley, providing 100% of the recommended daily amount of whole grain in each serving. Over two decades after Coca-Cola launched its free coupon for soda, Post decided to piggyback on this idea. In 1909, Grape-Nuts released the second known U.S. product coupon, offering 1 cent off each package of cereal.
