I look at a map and remember that America is West, and China is East. I've never heard of the Shredded Wheat one before. I've never heard of anyone who needed a mnemonic to remember north, east, south, west! Have I misunderstood the question? I use the mnemonic "North East South West" to remind me not to eat a certain breakfast cereal. BTW its not to remember the 4 points of the compass BUT to remember how they appear on a compass clockwise. A pupil at school told me this one a couple of years ago - Never Entertain Sexy Women - they've been around for far longer than Shredded Wheat!
Much like "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" for the order of operations, it doesn't mean anything, its just kind of memorable.
Your comment was removed because it was in breach of Rule 3: No joke only replies. As already said, is for learning compass points. I learned it this way as a child. I was also taught "Naughty Elephants Squirt Water".
Top-level comments on ELI5 are for explanations or relevant supplementary questions only, not for personal anecdotes, so your post has been removed. This was actually a marketing campaign slogan thought up by the famous 19th century Madison Avenue NYC ad-shop, Fredrick and Heigelerr, for the flour industry. By the early s everyone was teaching their kids to use this rhyme to learn the cardinal points of the compass and the damage was done to the shredded wheat industry.
But seriously I think it's this. I'm finding that out!
