For as long as we'd like to remember, each morning we've been joined around the breakfast table by one special brand....Kellogg's!

Creators of some of the most iconic cereals and adjoining characters, Kellogg's have been the boys to beat in the cereal game and are as much a household staple now as they have been for the last 100 years.

Inspired by their greatness and of course our fond memories through the years of some of our favourite bowls of retro deliciousness, we've just gotten our hands on some amazing new Kellogg's merchandise including notebooks, lip balms, keyrings, erasers and much much more!

To help really get into the spirit, we've decided to base one of our classic 10 Things You Didn't Know About… blog posts on this food icon. Hopefully you'll also get to learn some pretty cool facts along the way too. Enjoy!

1- Kellogg's has been to the moon! Yep the Apollo 11 astronauts brought a Kellogg cereal to the moon, as part of their breakfasts during the mission.

As we all know, times change, what was big now is gone tomorrow and sometimes what feels like it will be around forever slowly disappears into the history books. Well! Part of our job here at Truffle Towers is digging around and uncovering some of these forgotten treasures, dusting them off and throwing them once again into the limelight for people to enjoy again.

One thing we remember about growing up is of course some of the simply magical TV shows that we were lucky enough so witness. Many of which have been banished to the TV archives. To help jog some memories and to give some of these hidden gems a chance of nostalgic glory we thought we would show off some of our favourite shows that you might just have forgotten about. Enjoy!

Noah's Island

Oh Noah you big gentle legend! For most, the idea of an island that can be moved along somehow using its core of magma which is being run by a Polar bear and his team is a pretty weird idea. But hell is worked and what a show! The island would move around, picking up animals in need as they go which would of course chance the dynamics of the community, sometimes not always for the good. Oiski Poiski!
