It's a light breakfast, which is the upside and the downside. It goes down fast and plenty of people are peckish by half ten.
The sugar you sprinkle on top and the second bowl are what quietly add up.
Tips
Where it comes from
Corn flakes began by accident at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan around 1894. The Kellogg brothers left a batch of cooked wheat standing overnight, put it through the rollers anyway and got flakes, which they toasted for the patients. In 1906 Will Keith Kellogg founded the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which became the Kellogg Company.
