It emerged from the primordial ooze as a simple creature of 2-row, oats, rye, and wheat, then evolved explosively with massive additions of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Triumph. The result is a cataclysmic eruption of devastatingly juicy peach, orange creamsicle, and cotton candy. A deceptively smooth, soft finish belies the destruction it leaves in its wake. We might finally know what killed the dinosaurs.
