Corn Flakes

Pressed maize breakfast

Corn Flakes is the trademarked name of Kellogg's original flaked corn cereal, first produced in 1894.

The brand name is often used generically for any corn flake cereal, though the company maintains the trademark: He grabbed the box of Corn Flakes from the pantry. (Lowercase corn flakes refers to the cereal generically.)
