National Raisin Bran Day

So I read today that it is national Raisin Bran day, have you ever heard of such a thing? How did Kellogg get a day named after a food they produce? I am fascinated now. I thought it only appropriate that I should make and post a recipe in honor of today. There are an amazing amount of recipes out there that have raisin brand as an ingredient but this one looked extra yummy-well as yummy as a recipe with raisin brand can be.
