  For me, no other cereal beats cornflakes - Kellogg's only - with ice cold milk. Beautiful!

  You could still win a Ford Tippex. Watch out for a racist copper but whatever you do do not say Ftumch.

  The process of making flakes of corn (hence; cornflakes) was already established.

  
  
  
  Kellogg patented that process. Do you have any source indicating that the process was established earlier? Perhaps you're thinking of wheat flakes?

  The Kellog's factory was in Battle Creek, Michigan, but has now moved to Mexico.>:(

  
  Also in Battle Creek, Charles W. Post created Grape-Nuts in 1898. They were called that because they contained maltose, which Post called "grape sugar", and he thought the flavour reminded him of nuts
  
  Havent had Grape-Nuts in ages, I fancy some
