You can collect iron filings by swishing a (plastic bagged) magnet
around in a bowl of Wheaties cereal. Not kidding.
Do you suppose they are an added mineral supplement, or from wear in
the packaging machinery?

I haven't bought any breakast cereal for 40 years but I suppose I'm
going to have to buy some Wheaties (my favorite, tied with Cheerios,
65 years ago) and try that.
There's a tradition dating back to colonial times that women could
maintain health by putting (what was then a wrought iron) nail in a
glass of water each night, drinking the water in the morning.
