Actually, I believe that Wheaties was the "Breakfast of Champions" as far
back as the 50's which is where Vonnegut got the phrase.

                Kurt Vonnegut's _Breakfast of Champions_ itself alludes to a
slogan used for
                a breakfast cereal, iirc, so they may be no direct
connection between the
                two...
