Cereals derived from cornflakes
A former patient of the Battle Creek Sanitarium named C. W. Post started a rival company, as well as the major other brand of corn flakes in the United States, called Post Toasties. In the UK, the main brand rival is Sunblest Cornflakes. Australia's Sanitarium also manufactures their own brand of corn flakes called Skippy corn flakes. In addition there are many generic brands of corn flakes produced by various manufacturers.
Variations
Frosted Flakes (or Frosties in the UK, Commonwealth of Nations and EU countries) were introduced by Kelloggs in 1952 with Tony the Tiger as a mascot. These are essentially corn flakes with a sugar coating. 2
In 1983, Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes were introduced, the base flakes being the same, but coated with honey and peanut pieces.
In the 2000s some variations on "plain" Corn flakes were introduced, such as Corn Flakes with chocolate, berries, Honey Oat Corn Flakes and Wholewheat Corn Flakes.
