Frosted Flakes

Sugary corn squares

Frosted Flakes is a brand of breakfast cereal consisting of corn flakes coated with sugar.

Introduced by Kellogg's in 1952, the cereal is associated with its mascot Tony the Tiger and the slogan "They're gr-r-reat!" The name sometimes describes anything with a sugary coating or, informally, someone acting flaky or out of touch: He's pure frosted flakes.
