Anand Mahindra posted an old joke about Kellogg's Upma. Anand Mahindra's Twitter account is a treasure trove, and the world has likely heard of it by now. His posts can be profoundly thought-provoking and motivating, or they can be downright funny. The business mogul took to the microblogging site Twitter on Sunday to share an old Kellogg's Upma meme, which quickly went viral. More than a generation later, Kellogg's immigrated and set out to change the breakfast habits of the entire population by introducing a variety of cereals, the most well-known of which was the cornflakes. Due to this, the US company created Upma, an Indian breakfast dish, in response to customer demand. Kellogg's Upma was pictured stacked on a shelf with the caption, "Kellogg's came to India with the goal of changing the way Indians eat breakfast. This happened ten years later." "Kellogg's has been here for more than a decade," said Anand Mahindra, hailing the power of the desi breakfast. Although this is old news, the meme continues to circulate. And it's a sentiment that's lasted. Never undervalue the influence of our neighborhood 'champions.'
