Scientists always seem to get credit when they invent something.
The same isn't true for master chefs. I mean, sure, Mildred Day's name is often bandied about how maybe she invented rice krispie treats way back in 1939, but I knew Mildred. She totally hated marshmallows.
And you can darn well be sure it wasn't Snap, Crackle, or Pop. They're just animated characters.
But you know, if animated characters could do things like invent stuff I still wouldn't put my money on them. I'd say it was probably Count Chocula. He's got that big castle, you know? And what do all castles have? Big kitchens and big libraries.
Big libraries have lots of cookbooks, and I'll bet Count Chocula uses his big kitchen all the time. Now his cereal sucks so he's for sure not eating that. I don't think it's too far a stretch from there to say he probably invented rice krispie treats.
And he didn't get any credit. It's sad.
So, did the guy who invented rice krispie treats ever make any money from that . . . eh.
