{{See also|Will Keith Kellogg}}
[[File:CornFlakesPackage1906.jpg|thumb|right|First Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Co. [[corn flakes]] package (1906), later to become the Kellogg Food Company in 1908]]
In 1876, [[John Harvey Kellogg]] became the superintendent of the [[Battle Creek Sanitarium]] (originally the Western Health Reform Institute founded by [[Ellen G. White|Ellen White]]), and his brother, [[W. K. Kellogg]], worked as the bookkeeper. This is where corn flakes were created and led to the eventual formation of the Kellogg Company.
For years, W. K. Kellogg assisted his brother in research to improve the vegetarian diet of the Battle Creek Sanitarium's patients, especially in the search for wheat-based granola. The Kelloggs are best known for the invention of the famous breakfast cereal [[corn flakes]]. The development of the flaked cereal in 1894 has been variously described by those involved: Ella Eaton Kellogg, John Harvey Kellogg, his younger brother Will Keith Kellogg, and other family members. There is considerable disagreement over who was involved in the discovery
W. K. Kellogg persuaded his brother to serve the food in a flake form. Soon the flaked wheat was being packaged to meet hundreds of guest mail-order requests after they left the Sanitarium. However,
Convincing his brother to relinquish rights to the product, Will's company produced and marketed the hugely successful Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes and was renamed to the '''Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Company''' in 1909
In 1931, the Kellogg Company announced that most of its factories would shift towards 30-hour work weeks from the usual 40. W. K. Kellogg stated that he did this so that an additional shift of workers would be employed to support people through the depression era. This practice remained until [[World War II]] and continued briefly after the war, although some departments and factories remained locked into 30-hour work weeks until 1980.<ref>{{cite web |first = Jeffrey |last = Kaplan |date = May–June 2008 |url = http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/articles/article/2962 |title = The Gospel of Consumption |access-date = June 25, 2010 |archive-date = November 14, 2014 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141114060858/http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/articles/article/2962/ |url-status = dead }}</ref>▼
In 1964, Kellogg's introduced its first non-cereal product: a pastry which can be heated in a toaster, called Pop-Tarts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1964 : Kellogg's Pop Tarts Unleashed on Cleveland, Instant Hit (2020-09-14) |url=https://harris23.msu.domains/event/1964-kelloggs-pop-tarts-released-to-public-instant-hit/ |access-date=November 24, 2023 |language=en}}</ref> From 1969 to 1970, the slogan “Kellogg's puts more into your day” was used on Sunday morning TV shows.

After underspending its competition in marketing and product development, Kellogg's US market share hit a low of 36.7% in 1983. A prominent [[Wall Street]] analyst called it "a fine company that's past its prime" and the cereal market was being regarded as "mature". Such comments stimulated Kellogg chairman William E. LaMothe to improve, which primarily involved approaching the demographic of 80 million [[baby boomer]]s rather than marketing children-oriented cereals. In emphasizing cereal's convenience and nutritional value, Kellogg's helped persuade U.S. consumers aged 25 to 49 to eat 26% more cereal than people of that age ate five years prior. The U.S. ready-to-eat cereal market, worth $3.7 billion at retail in 1983, totaled $5.4 billion by 1988 and had expanded three times as fast as the average grocery category. Kellogg's also introduced new products, including [[Crispix]], Raisin Squares, and [[Nutri-Grain]] Biscuits, and reached out internationally with [[Just Right]] aimed at [[Australians]] and Genmai Flakes for Japan. During this time, the company maintained success over its top competitors: [[General Mills]], which largely marketed children's cereals, and [[Post Foods|Post]], which had difficulty in the adult cereal market.<ref>{{cite web |last1 = Sellers |first1 = Patricia |title = How King Kellogg Beat the Blahs |url = http://archive.fortune.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1988/08/29/70950/index.htm |work = [[Fortune (magazine)|Fortune]] |date = August 29, 1988 |access-date = June 10, 2015 }}</ref>

Kellogg's also owns the [[Bear Naked]], Natural Touch, [[Cheez-It]], Murray, Austin cookies and crackers, [[Famous Amos]], [[Gardenburger]] (acquired 2007), and Plantation brands.

[[File:Sample Kellogg's Sans typeface.png|thumbnail|right|Kellogg's Sans (typeface used by Kellogg's)]]
Various methods have been used in the company's history to promote the company and its brands. Foremost among these is the design of the Kellogg's logo by Ferris Crane under the art direction of famed type guru Y. Ames. Another was the well-remembered jingle "K E double-L, O double-good, Kellogg's best to you!".{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}
With the rising popularity of patent medicine in early 20th century advertising, [[The Kellogg Company]] of Canada published a book named ''A New Way of Living'' that showed readers "how to achieve a new way of living; how to preserve vitality; how to maintain enthusiasm and energy; how to get the most out of life because of a physical ability to enjoy it". It touted the All-Bran cereal as the secret to leading "normal" lives free of constipation.<ref>{{cite book| year= 1932| url= https://fishercollections.library.utoronto.ca/islandora/object/patent%3APatMed_a_0214| title= A New Way of Living| publisher= Kellogg Company of Canada| page= 2| access-date= October 19, 2018| archive-date= October 20, 2018| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20181020011700/https://fishercollections.library.utoronto.ca/islandora/object/patent%3APatMed_a_0214| url-status= live}}</ref>

=== Merchandising ===
Kellogg's has used some merchandising for their products. Entertainer [[Jimmy Durante]] appeared in some Kellogg's commercials in the 1960s. Kellogg's once released ''Mission Nutrition'', a [[video game|PC game]] that came free with special packs of cereal. It played in a similar fashion as ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''; users could play as Tony the Tiger, Coco the Monkey, or Snap, Crackle, and Pop.{{citation
Kellogg's has also released "Talking" games. The two current versions are Talking Tony and Talking Sam. In these games, a microphone is used to play games and create voice commands for their computers. In Talking Tony, Tony the Tiger, a famous Kellogg's mascot, would be the main and only character in the game. In Talking Sam, Toucan Sam, would be in the game, instead. Some [toy cars] have the Kellogg's logo on them, and occasionally their mascots. There was also a Talking Snap Crackle and Pop software.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}
