Breakfast of Champions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (500 words)
Breakfast of Champions, or Goodbye Blue Monday is a 1973 novel by the American author Kurt Vonnegut.
The novel's name, originally from the well-known slogan for the Wheaties breakfast cereal, comes from a key scene late in the novel when a waitress says she, apparently ironically, says "Breakfast of Champions" each time she serves a customer a martini.
In the preface, Vonnegut obviously recited advice from lawyers as he noted meticulously that Breakfast of Champions is a registered trademark of General Mills, Inc. for its Wheaties breakfast cereal products, and that his use of the term did not serve as an endorsement or disparagement of their fine products.
