Review: Well, these corn flakes tasted exactly the same as the Kroger Corn Flakes*. They also have the same ingredients and the same nutritional information which leads me to believe that  perhaps Corn Flakes have been around long enough that the patent on the very secret Corn Flake family recipe has finally been exposed to the public sector. This box (containing 24 cups of Corn Flakes) was $1.99 and worth every penny.

The one critique I have of large boxes of delicate cereal is that there are many more ditters (also known as the num-nums) at the bottom of the bag. I do not like the num-nums. I do not like how they turn into a paste when combined with milk. So, I got some apple slices, spread almond butter on them, and then dipped them in the ditters for a delicious snack.

*Yes, I realize that Kroger and Fred Meyer are the same brand. But they are marketed differently, so they get separate posts. Thank you.
