- his wimbledon match against roddick holds the all time record for the most games in the 5th set and broke the record for total games every played in a grand slam.

vs.

- chia seed, the high-energy endurance seed that raises hydration levels to the max. how else do you expect to survive a grueling 4 hours and 18 minutes of thrilling tennis?

rafael “rafa” nadal, men’s tennis world no. 2 player:
- the reigning king of clay became the first player to simultaneously hold grand slam titles on clay, grass, and hard court.

vs.

- flax seed, the one that fights everything from heart disease and diabetes to even cancer is surely fit for the player who’s game hinges high on defensive pressure. now if only flax could fix one’s fashion sense. like those capri pants.. cerealsly, rafa?

serena williams, women’s tennis world no. 1 player
- after crushing her older sister venus in a mere 87 minutes, it seems that power beats endurance for this super sibling’s a-game.

want to impress people? become a cereal aficionado!

here are some fascinating facts about cereal you never even knew you should know….

#1

cereal was invented by colonial housewives who started serving up popcorn with sugar and cream for breakfast. pocahontas puffs anyone?

#2

the average american eats 160 bowls of cereal each year. that is why [me]&goji capsules can hold over 21 ounces! way more than your standard cardboard box. so eat your heart out, cereal lover.

#3

the first ready-made breakfast cereal was invented by james c. jackson way back in 1863. his recipe was a whole grain flour dough base baked into dry leaves, broken into chunks to be baked again, then ground into even smaller chunks.

sound appetizing? honestly, let’s just be thankful for the cereal revolution. at [me] & goji, you can now enjoy and create unique cereal combinations for every palate.

#4

u.s. and israeli researchers recently found strong evidence that humans refined wheat and barley into cereal over 23,000 years ago! this groundbreaking discovery suggests humans were processing grains long before hunter-gather societies even developed agriculture.

wow, cereal was here way before you were ever born. before colonial housewives settled in the americas. before James C. Jackson decided dry leaves were food. looks like the cave men really knew the essentials, earth. wind. fire. cereal.

Strawberry Fields Forever

right now is strawberry season. thinking strawberry shortcake? pffff, so over-rated. try out [strawberry] & goji instead.

this fruit is the very first to blossom in the spring, and are so juicy and succulent this time of year. but who ever thought strawberries are not actually a berry, but the enlarged receptacle of a flower?  sounds like these strawberries are some pretty seedy characters.

strawberries & goji

well, that is to be expected. with over 200 seeds in each berry, they are the most prolific fruit on the planet! i guess we will be looking at strawberry fields forever, which is lucky for us strawberry-lovers.

so what constitutes a strawberry lover?  in a recent national survey, strawberry-lovers were described as healthy, fun-loving, intelligent and happy. non-strawberry lovers were described as weird, boring, stuffy, picky and fussy eaters. add some strawberries to your mix today and make the world and yourself a little more fun!

row, row, row your goji!

and row they did! special thanks thanks to our rock star customer, shown above, for providing us photo’s from her rowing clinic last weekend.  check her out- balancing her vessel in one hand and our Cereal Capsule in the other.

after her clinic, gay brought over her [me] & goji mix to share with her friends Mark Wilson and Jim Deitz of All American Rowing Camp. and judging from the pictures below, the Olympian and NCAA champ enjoyed every bit!

be sure to keep us in mind for your next event or if you just want to have a fun cereal day at the office!
