From: Malt-O-Meal
Introduced in 1984


This cereal is described on the box as a "sweetened flakes of corn cereal." Additional text encourages shoppers to "compare to Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Cereal."

Company Description: The Malt-O-Meal Company dates back to 1919 when John S. Campbell developed a hot wheat breakfast cereal he called Malt-O-Meal. The company officially adopted the name The Malt-O-Meal Company in 1953. By 1965, the company had entered the ready-to-eat non-hot breakfast sector with the introduction of Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals.... Read on and see all cereals from Malt-O-Meal

At first bite, I couldn't tell the difference between this and the Name Brand it imitates. And, our local ShopRite has sold boxes of Malt-O-Meal cereals for as low as 99 cents!

There's something... off about the sugar coating on this cereal. It turns into an unpleasant sludge at the bottom of the bowl, much worse than "regular" sugar.
