      Doesnt matter what the creator used it for. We still call them Corn Flakes and Vaseline. Thank you for proving my point.

      I did know about the inventor of corn flakes from drunk history, but I did not know about the inventor of Vaseline eating. What I hope you're talking about is Vaseline and not poop.

      Where did you hear that? I believe it. I'm just curious how you came across this information.

        He ate the Vaseline. I think it was on Wikipedia, but I just was looking up if it was actually edible because of the song She Don't Use Jelly by The Flaming Lips and some other thing about putting Vaseline on toast. Dude thought it had all sorts of health benefits.

      It's widely recognized that you get to name it tho.

      Nice try with the fallacious comparisons.
