From: Post
Introduced in 1946


A 1947 ad for this cereal described it this way:

Everybody's telling everybody about the big news in corn flakes!

New Post's Corn Toasties are fresher, crisper corn flakes.. they've got a new toastier flavor! Nothing in the world like them! No wonder the big swing is to Post's Corn Toasties!

Company Description: Founded by C.W. Post, the company began in 1895 in Battle Creek, Michigan under the name Postum Cereals. Their first product was a coffee substitute called Postum. The first breakfast cereal to come from the company was Grape-Nuts in 1897... Read on and see all cereals from Post

I remember this cereal from childhood. It was the best tasting corn flake - much better than Kellogg's corn flakes. Can't find them anyplace any more. ALAS!!

Hi. I am a fan of Post Toasties Corn Flakes since I was a kid . I live in Tampa Florida. I find Raisin Bran but not the Corn Flakes. Do they sell it in Tampa? Let me know. - Luis

I think these were later called "Post Toasties". The catch-line in the ads were, "The best thing to happen to corn since the indians discovered it". There was also a line said in an indian-like accent in the ad, "Post Toasties. Heap good cornflakes".

Did these later become Post Toasties? If so, I really liked them. I thought they were lighter and crispier than Kellogg's Corn Flakes. Haven't seen them in 15 or 20 years.
