Wikification

I have recently completed significant referencing, made structural changes, deletions and what not to give the article more clout and make it look more presentable. Abcdefghayden 09:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ingredients list for Kellogs corn flakes shows corn (that is maize) and some malt flavouring. It isn't a wheat and other grain product. Rmhermen 23:16, Dec 6, 2003 (UTC)

I really think we can do without all the details on Kellogg's obsession with sex on the corn flakes page. It's already in the main article. --Mothperson 12:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is a summary of Kellog's views, not a detailed discussion, and entirely on-topic since it relates strongly to the early history of corn flakes.--Eloquence * July 2, 2005 04:56 (UTC)

Is it possible to put a NPOV entry explaining how delicious Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes are? - Chris

As a LONG time Kellog's Corn Flake eater, I have to comment that the picture of "corn flakes in a bowl" looks nothing like the actual Kellog's product. These flakes look more like Post Toasties. Kellog's Corn Flakes are much more irregular shaped with jagged edges than these flakes. Post Toasties have rounded edges like the ones in the picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martyrc (talk • contribs) 15:25, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem, since the article title is "Corn flakes", not "Kellogg's corn flakes". GenQuest (talk) 00:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

article is mostly false due to the fact that corn flakes were invented in an insane asylum in the 1840's to prevent the patients from masturbating.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.16.9.12 (talk) 00:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Before entering personal research

Can one imagine any link between corn flakes (Adventist food) and manna (edible wafer) ? --193.56.241.75 09:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC) Hahahahahahahaha[reply]

Title

Is "cornflakes" not a more common spelling than "corn flakes"? -- Picapica 20:04, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ingredients?

Is the ingredients list neccessary? Most articles pertaining to similar topics don't include a list of ingredients, though I'm not neccessarily opposed to including ingredients as it is in the very least informative. Glassbreaker5791 (talk) 02:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about ingredients of competing products? I don't believe an ingredients section is warranted. GenQuest (talk) 00:47, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cow excrement? Come on!

General Info?

I find this article lacking in information. It says not who invented it, when, how, what made the person think of it, if there had been foods like it before, what the public reception was. I mean, it looks like the "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" entries of which we used to laugh at "Corn Flakes: Flakes of Corn". I would love to see more than "who the main competitor" wast in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.224.139.156 (talk) 13:10, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External link No. 2 is broken and should either be replaced with a new one or deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calgaryscholar (talk • contribs) 17:41, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mascot left out

Why no mention of Cornelius Rooster?

Just Hopi?

Isn't corn important to practically all North American Native cultures, not just the Hopi? And unless that use directly affected modern corn flakes, is it strictly necessary to mention it? acomas (talk) 18:40, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Salt Peter

I have heard multiple times that potassium nitrate was a key ingredient as part of the original purpose of the product, to keep certain inhibitions at bay. Is this just an urban legend?128.115.27.10 (talk) 22:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
