Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Cornflakes have been named the greatest cereal of all time in the UK by global market research company www. onepoll.com. Another five Kellogg’s cereals placed in the top ten cereals.

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, which is available in Malta, first appeared on breakfast tables in the UK in 1984 and sells more than 40 million packs a year. The Kellogg’s cereal – cornflakes drizzled in honey and covered in chopped nuts – scooped 14 per cent of the vote to take the top spot.

Second placed in the poll is the classic Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, with 10 per cent of the vote. The breakfast cereal first hit our breakfast tables in 1924 and the green ‘Cornelius Rooster’ has been the face of the popular brekkie since 1953.

Children’s favourite Kellogg’s Coco Pops, chocolate covered rice Krispies which turns the milk ‘chocolatey’, was in third spot, which received eight per cent of the vote. This also means that the first three places in this survey are all occupied by Kellogg’s products.

Fourth place went to Weetabix followed by Frosties, of Tony the Tiger fame, at number five, which is another Kellogg’s product.

John Sewell, Onepoll.com’s managing director said: “A bowl of your favourite cereal splashed with cold milk can’t be beaten – it’s part of our daily ritual. Everyone has their favourite and this poll reveals Crunchy Nut Cornflakes is the nation’s top choice. Some of the cereals mentioned in this poll have been around for years and really stood the test of time.”

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies were voted in at number six by the 2,000 Brits who completed the poll, while Sugar puffs, home to the Honey Monster, came seventh. Special K is at number eight, while Alpen came ninth and Quakers Oats completed the top ten.
