"The public first got a look at Quaker Puffed Rice at the St. Louis
World's Fair of 1904, when eight bronze cannons exploded rice over the
heads of a huge crowd. When rice kernels are heated under high
pressure and exposed to steam, the kernels expand rapidly. You might
even say they explode. The result is puffed rice."
