    I think you’re right, but aren’t frosted flakes just corn flakes with a bit of sugar added to make them slightly more edible?

      Maybe a little more than “a bit of sugar”, but yeah.

      But if you were referring to Kellogg’s (wildly unfounded) hypothesis that bland food would somehow repress sexual urges, I don’t think he’d approve of adding sugar to make it taste better.

      He was a weird dude with some messed-up ideas though, so if the existence of Frosted Flakes would have annoyed him, then perhaps that’s a good thing.

        Yep, that was the reference, in a Ned Flanders-ish way of saying it! I agree, he wouldn’t approve of the sugar at all. I was just noting that the base food - corn flakes - is the same.
