Kellogg's wasn't always the bastion of healthy eating and cereal goodness. Back in 1916 the good folks from Battle Creek were selling kids the gateway drug to coffee. Doubtless, Drinket was Kellogg's answer to products like Postum, they threw in a bogus medical testament from some mysterious director at some mysterious medical school touting the presence of "all the mineral salts required for body growth".
It's hard to find information on the web about Drinket on the web. There are the ads, and not many of them, probably showing Kellogg made a mistake when it asserted children really want coffee.
