Definitions
- the present invention relates to food and, in particular, to a novelty food item and a method of fabricating same.
- breakfast cereal market is an enormous one and breakfast cereals are fabricated from a wide variety of grains including wheat, corn and rice and are fabricated in a wide variety of methods so as to produce bran, flakes, expanded grains (such as those sold as puffed wheat or rice bubbles (trade names)) and the like.
- a novelty food item comprising a first plurality of edible cereal particles each coloured with a first food grade colouring agent of a first colour, and a second plurality of edible cereal particles each coloured with a second food grade colouring agent of a second colour, said first and second colours being different and said particles of said first plurality and said particles of said second plurality being intermingled.
- a method of fabricating a novelty food item comprising the steps of: (i) colouring a first plurality of edible cereal particles with a first food grade colouring agent of a first colour,
- a method of selling a multi-coloured food item comprising the steps of: (i) selecting a sporting team having colours corresponding to those of said food item,
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a soft breakfast cereal package having at least a window which is transparent or translucent,
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a bowl showing the breakfast cereal contained within the package of Fig. 1 positioned within the bowl
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a solid, generally bar shaped food product.
- the present invention has its genesis in the idea that the reindeer also should receive nourishment, particularly as they may have left hurriedly and not have had sufficient time to enable Santa Claus to feed the reindeer before commencing their travel. It is therefore thought desirable for young children to provide reindeer food to enable the reindeers to also receive some nourishment in the course of their travels.
- the object of the preferred embodiment is to provide reindeer food in the form of breakfast cereal coloured so as to represent Christmas.
- the breakfast cereal is processed wheat bran, however, it could equally be flakes of corn, puffed wheat, bubbles formed from rice grains, and the like.
- such breakfast cereal particles are divided into two groups, one group being coloured, preferably red, by a conventional edible food colouring agent and the other group being coloured, preferably green, by a similar edible food colouring agent.
- the coloured particles are dry, they are intermingled so that a cereal formed from red particles and green particles is produced and there is no mixing of the colouring agents or dyes.
- the cereal is then packaged in the form of soft package 1 as illustrated in Fig. 1 which has a transparent window 2 through which the individual particles 3 can be seen in order to attract the attention of prospective consumers.
- the particles are indicated to be different colours by means of shading lines to represent particles of one colour and the absence of shading lines to represent particles of another colour.
- Fig. 2 the individual particles 3 are illustrated in a cereal bowl 4.
- the differently coloured food particles can be coalesced to form a brick or bar shaped product 5 such as breakfast cereal blocks such as those sold under the trade marks WEETBIX or VITA-BRITS and snack food products including those known as MUESLI BARS, MUESLI BIX 3 MUESLI WRAPPS and the like.
- a brick or bar shaped product 5 such as breakfast cereal blocks such as those sold under the trade marks WEETBIX or VITA-BRITS and snack food products including those known as MUESLI BARS, MUESLI BIX 3 MUESLI WRAPPS and the like.
- Suitable colouring agents include Tartrazine (102), Ponceau 4R (124) and Brilliant blue FCF (133) whilst the addition of Sodium benzoate (211) as a preservative and citric acid (330) as an antioxidant has been found advantageous.
- the number in brackets above refers to the Numerical list of Food Additives prepared by Food Standards Australia and New Zealand.
- the children may wish to eat reindeer food themselves for breakfast in the days and weeks leading up to Christmas.
- the multi-coloured cereal can be fabricated in the colours of local football, or other sporting teams, so that the abovementioned red and green cereal combination can be sold to supporters of the South Sydney rugby League football team, for example.
- the cereal having colours of a specific team is sold to an organisation which supports that team.
- such organisations include the football club itself, the South Sydney Junior rugby League Club, subdistrict football teams within the South Sydney area, and the like.
- the supporting organisations By selling the multicoloured cereal in colours corresponding to the team colours of supporting organisations, this permits the supporting organisations to on-sell the cereal to the individual team supporters (or groups of same) as a fund-raising activity. Since most team supporting organisations are looking for fund-raising activities, they can be expected to embrace the opportunity to sell multi-coloured cereal enthusiastically.
- the cereal manufacturer has the advantage of a sales outlet which is independent of major grocery chains or major wholesalers, thereby making such manufacturers less dependent upon such traditional sales channels.
- plastic promotional toys such as reindeer and sleds can be included in the package 1.
- other food products such as spiral macaroni formed from durum wheat and particularly semolina derived therefrom, can be coloured and then intermingled.
- a reindeer drink or a drink for Santa Claus can be provided. This is preferably done with a cup having a central vertical membrane which keeps divided a, say, red drink in one part and a green drink in the other part.
- a dual straw is provided with a stem having two tubes lying along side each other but Y-shaped arms so that one straw end enters one cup portion and the other straw end the other cup portion.
- sucking on the dual straw stem delivers substantially equal amounts of red and green liquid to the drinker's mouth simultaneously.
