Buc Wheats

Buc Wheats was a boxed breakfast cereal produced by General Mills from 1971 until the early 1980s. The cereal consisted of toasted flakes of wheat (originally also with buckwheat) with a sweet maple-flavored glaze baked onto them. Late in its production, the maple glaze was replaced with a honey glaze, which was derided by customers. It may have contributed to its cancellation in about 1982.

Nutritional value

According to the 1970s cereal boxes, Buc Wheats cereal was highly nutritious and contained 100% of the minimum daily requirements for vitamins and iron.

About

Buc Wheats cereal can be compared to wheat flakes mixed with buckwheat. They had the appearance of bran flakes, having the same color and texture but they were lighter in weight. Instead of being covered in sugar like frosted corn flakes, Buc Wheats cereal was coated with a maple syrup glaze, giving it a unique flavor. Later on in the production of Buc Wheats, General Mills replaced the original maple glaze with a honey glaze. The new Buc Wheats were said to taste like a sweet and sticky bowl of Wheaties. Most consumers did not like the new Buc Wheats cereal.

Buč

Buč (pronounced [ˈbutʃ]; in older sources also Beč,German: Butsch) is a small settlement on the Nevljica River in the Tuhinj Valley in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It includes the hamlets of Brezovica (German: Bresowitz), Vetrnik, and Smrtna Vas (Slovene: Smrtna vas).

Name

Buč was attested in written sources in 1400 as Futsch (and as Fuczsch in 1444, Zhetsch in 1477, and dorff Watscha in 1495). In the local dialect, the settlement is known as Bəč. The name Buč is related to the Slovene common noun beč '(stone- or wood-lined) hollow with a spring' (< *bъťъ), referring to a local geographical feature. The Slavic word *bъťъ was borrowed from Latin buttis 'barrel' and is also the origin of the Slovene toponyms Beč and Bač. This name form with -u- is based on old transcriptions and also labialization of the semivowel after initial b-. In the past the German name was Butsch.
