Cornflakes

[Caribeing]

Are Kelloggs the best Cornflakes or can anyone really tell the difference with other brands, I know Kelloggs are more expensive so there must something different about them or is it the Brand name!

[gingejbee]

To make a meaningful comment on this, you would need to blind-taste them against many other brands/ own-brands. Tasting them without comparisons doesn't mean much.

[Cloverjo]

It's the brand name. They're all the same without the packaging. It annoys me to see Disney characters on the boxes that encourage harassed parents to buy the brand - Kellogs - with Elsa and Anna, for example, on them for much more money.

"Are Kelloggs the best Cornflakes?" yes without a doubt!!

[ummmm]

It's the brand name, imo. Brand names often don't come top of taste tests.

[RATTER15]

Cloverjo, Sorry, they really are not all the same, I can tell the difference blindfolded with no problem at all!

The same with Weetabix, I had some recently, the weetabix just did not absorb the milk and were virtually floating, they went in the bin!

[jennyjoan]

well I bought another brand of cornflakes - didn't like them so threw them out and went back to Kellogg

[Canary42]

I switched to supermarket own-brand about 6 months ago, and won't be switching back.

[anaxcrosswords]

There are a number of brand products which are identical to own-brand ones, but doesn't Kelloggs have (or at least used to have) the slogan “We don't make cornflakes for anyone else”?

[dzug2]

There's a world of difference, easily detectible, between Kelloggs and the cheaper own (or non-) brands. There's less of a difference between Kelloggs and say Sainsburys. Those with a less sensitive palate might have difficulty distinguishing

Which you prefer is up to you - 'best' is a subjective thing

[diddlydo]

Go to Aldi or Lidl and buy their own brand cornflakes - any difference in taste will be more than made up for by the difference in your wallet. Branded cereals are a complete and utter con.

With some things the brands vcan taste better, but it is also to your taate. I prefer Kellogs corn flakes but don;t mind some other brands.
Mayoinnaise is the one for me, can't beat Hellman's mayo, although i do buy cheaper brands in between.

Or alternatively has a breakfast that isn't bland and needed fortifying.

[douglas9401]

Kelloggs cornflakes are on sale in Aldi at an Aldi-ish price and yes, they are the best tasting in my opinion.

[Giggsie]

I am like Canary changed to supermarket own brand and love them not quarter of the price either.

[Caribeing]

I bought Tesco own brand but oh said they didn't taste as crunchy as Kelloggs

[Chipchopper]

I don't think you can beat Kelloggs, I've tried a few other brands but they're thinner and lacking in flavor.

[JollyJapes]

You can taste cheap cornflakes a mile off! I suppose it depends on if you can get used to them.

I once started to eat a bowl of a supermarket's (forgotten which one) own label version of Special K. Like eating cardboardy dust! Never again, went straight back to the real brand!
