Post Toasties Corn Flakes
From: Post
Introduced in 1908

  • Post Toasties were originally called Elijah's Manna when the cereal was created in 1904. Religious groups balked at the use of Elijah as a cereal mascot. The backlash cut into sales of the cereal and the name was changed to Post Toasties in 1908.

In 1935, Post Toasties became he first cereal to license the image of Micky Mouse for its cereal boxes and advertisements.

This cereal is also listed in our database as simply Post Toasties. Often times, "Corn Flakes" was incredibly small on the box in relationship to the word "Toasties". Other times, "Corn Flakes" took top or equal billing.

Company Description: Founded by C.W. Post, the company began in 1895 in Battle Creek, Michigan under the name Postum Cereals. Their first product was a coffee substitute called Postum. The first breakfast cereal to come from the company was Grape-Nuts in 1897... Read on and see all cereals from Post

I'm crossing my fingers because Post Toasties and Fruit Wheats in five flavors strawberry, apple, raisin, blueberry & raspberry mini biscuit style cereal, Post consumer brands bring Post Toasties and Fruit Wheats back.

I loved this cereal. Come on, Post... if you keep Grape Nuts on the shelves, you can bring this one back! PS, I will say the same about General Mills' Corn Total. That needs to come back too.

My mom has an old Peanut Crunch cookie recipe which calls for Post Toasties. The other corn flakes don't add as much crunch. Please bring back Post Toasties. The cookies just aren't the same any more. It's my Dad's favorite cookie!

I say bring this back because it is crisper than Kellogg's. Honey Bunches of Oats rules!

Best corn flakes ever... Kellogg's is junk food... when they have a winner, why would they quit making it? Please bring it back... I'm 87 years old. Don't have a lot of time to wait, hurry! I remember the commercial way back. It went: Post Toasties, heap good corn flakes... the best thing that's happened to corn since the Indians discovered it, heap good corn flakes. Post Toasties heap good corn flakes.
