What's the deal with Grape Nuts cereal? You open the box. No Grapes! No Nuts! What's the deal?!? Who are the ad wizards who came up with that?!?

Here's what I found on Yahoo search--100 years of Post Products.
Grape-Nuts
One of the first ready-to-eat cereal products ever made available to the public, Grape-Nuts was first introduced in 1897. Made of wheat and malted barley, Grape-Nuts was so named because its inventor, Charles William Post, said that grape sugar was formed during the baking process and described the cereal as having a nutty flavor. Post was a pioneer in introducing and making popular cereal, a food product that today has become a standard breakfast staple.

Good question. It's one of those products that was invented back in the early part of the 20th Century when lots of foods, laundry products, and other commercial brands had really funky names. Some of them made perfect sense like Ivory Soap, and then there were other ones like Grape Nuts. I have no idea what it's supposed to mean.
IVORY SOAP......"So Pure, It Floats"
