__________ is/are underrated.

Graham crackers were invented by a pastor that thought the bland taste would reduce teen boys' need to masturbate.

Yes, and those influenced by Graham included one John Harvey Kellogg.  You may have heard of some of his products.  He too believed that a "simple, pure and unstimulating diet" would quench man's unwholesome sexual desire.  This is why, for example, Corn Flakes and Grape Nuts are rather bland—and why John had a falling-out with his brother when the latter began selling a product similar to Corn Flakes but with added sugar.

If you've never read about Kellogg and his Battle Creek Sanitarium, then you've missed out on a fascinating slice of American history.  (Teaser:  yogurt isn't just for oral consumption!)

Louis Spohr.

Even if you're a fan of classical music, I'd say there's a halfway decent chance you've never heard of him.  This, despite his wide regard as one of the greatest living composers (if not the greatest) during his own lifetime.
