趣味資料:《桂格》燕麥片的英文名稱與貴格會的相同.坊間流傳《桂格》商標中的老人是著名的貴格會人 William Penn, 但未能得到證實. William Penn was the founder of *Penn*sylvania.

桂格麥片公司的創始人亨利‧西默爾(Henry Seymour)在 1901 年成立桂格麥片公司——美國最大的燕麥片公司；他以一個穿著清教徒服裝的男子為桂格麥片的註冊商標，因為清教徒象徵的誠實與正直是他一生奉行的真理，他期許自己不斷努力，讓大眾認同桂格的產品都是以誠實、正直的工作精神製造出來的。

In 1887, Henry D. Seymour, one of the founders of a new American oatmeal milling company, purportedly came across an article on the Quakers in an encyclopedia and was struck by the similarity between the religious group's qualities and the image he desired for oatmeal. A second story contends that Seymour's partner, William Heston, an ancestor of Quakers, was walking in Cincinnati one day and saw a picture of William Penn, the English Quaker, and was similarly struck by the parallels in quality.
