Postum

Postum is a powdered coffee substitute sold by the Post Cereals company. The caffeine-free beverage mix was originally created by company founder C. W. Post in 1895 and marketed as a healthful alternative to coffee. Post was a Seventh-day Adventist and a student of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg who felt caffeine was unhealthful, and thus created an alternative of mostly wheat and molasses. Postum is still available, although it is now marketed by Kraft Foods.
