My favorite cereal, despite the insulting name change in 1989 (I was under 40). Is it available anywhere?

40% Bran Flakes were the best. I think the last time I had them was in the late 80's. I wish I could still get them.

Looked all over in 3 grocery stores including Meijers, Walmart and Krogers and couldn't find them... Is there an equivalent?

I, too, was a 40% Bran regular and stopped eating cereal when it left the market.

There is no substitute for 40% Bran Flakes. What does it take to get Kellogg's to bring them back?!

There was a Chocolate Dot Pumpkin recipe on one box of 40% Bran Flakes. I have been making that cake for about the pass 50 years. Around 1971, I copied it and placed in a cookbook. One of the greatest cakes ever. Need the 40% Bran Flakes again.

PLEASE Kellogg's - bring back 40% Bran Flakes! They makes the all-time best bran muffins. I have tried all other bran cereals and none of them come close. Grain Berry is the closest but it is hard to come by. We don't want fruit, chocolate, yogurt, raisins, pecans, etc. Just 40% Bran Flakes. PLEASE!

Love it, but can't find it in any grocery stores. I have asked my local store official to order some for us. We'll see.

This cereal was the best of all. I have stopped eating all cereal on today's market - they are all lousy. I would eat 40% Bran Flakes today if they were still available.

I agree that the flavor and consistency was the best and wish they would bring it back - never should have messed with perfection - now it is our loss, and apparently, Kellogg's doesn't care.

I've not been able to find Kellogg's 40% Bran Flakes for about one and a half years! My husband won't eat any other cereal (we've tried several but nothing compares). Please bring back this cereal!

Dillons used to carry it. WalMart does not. I would drive a few miles to buy a box.

Loved this cereal back in the 80's. Shame on Kelloggg's... you can't find it anymore.

I have a recipe for bran muffins using Kellogg's 40% Bran Flakes and have been unable to find them in the local stores. I have to admit I have not made these muffins for over 20 years, but it surfaced recently while looking through my many recipes and I want to make them again.

This cereal is very special to me for several reasons. My grandfather, who was dearly known as "Poppa Roberson" first introduced me to the 40% Bran Flakes cereal back in the 1960's. I shared this great cereal with my own children and they fell in love with the great taste, uniqueness and the special memories that it held for me. I have been unable to find this cereal in any of my local markets and would love to order it online if at all possible.

In the UK, they were known for a time as 30% Bran Flakes. Don't know why the recipe differed.
