out to the bar in the movie with quentin aa quentin tarantino. he said, tomorrow you're going to learn how to fire a machine gun and how to scalp a human being. i'm scared out of my head and he points to me, i have a feeling you're not going to be in the top three. he had promised us we'd get close-ups in the movie. we were going to get close-ups in the movie if we were one of the top three scalpers. i went home that night, i was nervous about it, but i looked up on wikipedia, everything i could about scalping. i sort of approached it like a kid trying to get an a on a weird homework assignment. i looked up magic sites. by the way, your g-mail ads change if you look up scalping. you get weird things sent to you. i had the weapons training and i was told i was the top scalper and i got my close-up. >> you were the top scalper.

congratulations. why do you think quentin tarantino thought you wouldn't be good at this? >> that's very polite of you to ask that question. i think i look like someone who wouldn't scalp nazis. that's a good thing. but when you're working in a tarantino movie not a good thing. >> how do you go about doing it? >> you make an incision in the forehead -- this is weird to talk about. >> but someone might need to know. >> then you follow through. i don't know what's going on in your life. this is important, you yank the hair at the end. like pulling off a band-aid. >> and you're good at that? >> i'm very good at that. yeah. >> my highlight as a scalper. >> what is this you brought here? you have an item here. >> i do. i found the most i think intense life story i have ever come across on the back of a honey bunches of oats box.

[ laughter ] and i thought it would be a good idea to share it. >> oh, well, sure, go right away. >> thank you. so this is -- this is an incredibly epic life story of the adventure. it says, how did they come up with the idea for this amazing cereal? i'm expecting to find a cross word, but instead it's like a 500-page biography of this man's journey. the further you go, the more intense it gets. verne had a big idea. vernon j. hersing, started to work for post cereals in 1951 as a summer student working in the factory. he joined post full-time in 1960 and in 1976 was named the facility manager in battle creek, michigan. so 25 years has gone by in the blink of an eye. that's how epic the story. 25 years, nothing yet. [ laughter ] verne wanted to create a product that combines cereals from one of post's facilities where in

1986, so ten more years have gone by, where we manufactured c.w. post,t,toastiti, , grapape flakeses a and s sugugar flakes. he wondered if by combining these different cereals he could create a a new product, one that would outstsell all of the othe. we have all had this dream. [ laughter ] combine enough cereals d make a super cereal. we don't have the resources that vernon has. >> you need bowls and the cereal. >> yeah. he's working at the factory with four cereals, he gets the courage over the course of 35 years -- [ laughter ] this story has a happy ending. i don't mean to suggest -- one saturday afternoon, verne asked his 18-year-old daughter, kimberly, so again, life has gone by in this story. again, it's epic, to help him mix different cereal mixtures. they began to sample the combinations. ultimately picking a favorite. this story is half over. [ laughter ]

the next step was to figure out what to call the product. first they came up with battle creek cereal. but research showed that many consumers didn't like that name. [ laughter ] research can be very valuable. at the time no cereal on the market offered the different kind of mixed textures so the team presented their dilemma to eva page, a post brand manager and she comes in and steals the show. eva takes the cereal and said, the cereal is exactly what it tastes like, granola and flakes. so 35 years down the drain. no reaction. [ laughter ] but wait, she took another bite it says and then asked -- such suspense in the story, and then asked to make it more exciting can you put honey in the granola and the granola is made with oats so she's on a roll. so said eva, the concept is honey bunches of oats and

flakes. this time consumers loved the name. it's not a great name. >> well no, the flakes sounds like dandruff. >> but even honey bunches of oats is a good name. honey smacks is a good name. honey bunches of oats. anyway -- >> you bought it. >> i bought it. it's delicious. >> the project was back on track with the project officially dubbed honey bunches of oats and eva asked how can we make it a more family cereal? this breaks my heart. the research team suggested adding post sugar sparkle flakes to the brand and you may remember this as one of the four cereals that had been in the factory the whole time. somewhere in this 35-year process he left out one of the cereals. he must have felt embarrassed. >> oh, yeah. >> the story is almost over. finally it all came together

after three years of development. most of the time spent searching for a concept. honey bunches of oats hit the market in 1989, a mere 38 years after verne's journey began. >> wow.
