How often have we been told the title above in our lives? We’ve heard it from family, from friends, from physicians, from newspaper ads and from television commercials. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Because it is so talked about these days, I thought it might be good to dedicate today’s Voice from the Bullpen space to breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

What’s that you ask? Will there be a test on this? Hate to throw it at you, but there is no information to take notes on, or study. This is a pop quiz, students. Close your books, take out a piece of paper and a pencil, and get ready for the latest edition of VFTB brain scratchers with today’s topic being Breakfast.

First and foremost though, before we begin, have you had your breakfast today? If not, go grab a bagel, or a piece of fruit, or a bowl of your favorite hot or cold cereal, and jump start your brain with some energy and brain food. I’ll wait for you.

Everyone back? Are we ready? Your goal is to try and identify the breakfast food or breakfast place based on these taglines, or slogans. There may be a (blank) to fill in, or you may be asked to name a breakfast food based on the given advertising slogan. Maybe it will be using a tagline or slogan having something to do with a place to have breakfast, regardless, each question will just something to have to do with breakfast. There will be two bonus questions at the end, one for two points and one for five points, so grab that pencil, and get on your mark, get set, and let’s go!
