Review: Over the course of my extensive cereal-related research, I have noticed a trend in all Corn Flakes ever tasting the same, regardless of brand. I am pleased with this as I like Corn Flakes. However, I plan to extend my search until all easily accessible brands of Corn Flakes have been savored and compared.

The Hy-Top Corn Flakes have the same ingredients in the same order as both of the Fred Meyer Brands (Fred Meyer and Kroger), but they do not have the same Nutrition Information. The Hy-Top brand has twenty more calories per serving and one more gram of sugar. I have no idea why, and I can say with confidence that the difference is not detectable to the casual taster.

I didn't bother taking a picture of these Corn Flakes as they look the same as every other Corn Flake. However, I did take a picture of the absolutely delicious looking recipe on the side of the box. No Corn-Flake-Coated Chicken for Hy-Top, no way. Instead, they offer the secret recipe for the pined-after potluck favorite: Sour Cream Salmon Loaf. Enjoy.
