Cereal

Admittedly, there are brands that have become known for certain cereal recipes, like Raisin Bran or Kashi. They mix together grains and dried fruits in a way we like. But they don’t have a patent on grains or dried fruit or coconut slivers or chopped almonds. Your grocery store likely carries generic cereal that has the exact same ingredients as a name-brand one you like.
