From: Post
Introduced in 1951

• Introduced just one year before Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes, Corn-fettie from Post was the first "frosted" corn flake cereal. Unfortunately, Corn-fettie kind of sucked. The cereal's candy-coating was too hard. The Corn-fettie experience has been described as "sort of like eating little pieces of sweetened glass".

This cereal was advertised as the "new kind of corn flakes with the magic sugar coat - now guaranteed not to get sticky, even in opened box".

The name of the cereal was later to elongated to Sugar Corn-Fetti.

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

Cereal Rating (out of 5):

I have always loved sugar and when I was very little Mom gave me all the sugar I wanted. The cereals I liked most were very sweet, Sugar Pops and Cornfetti and Sugar Smacks. I don't think Mom knew how hard and what a choking potential Cornfetti was. I must have had strong teeth, cause I ate a lot of the stuff. To this day, I have a sweet tooth.

Cereal Rating (out of 5):

I was born in 1947 and remember that cereal as vividly as anything from my youth... and no one else (my age) remembered anything about it. I even had the pirate (forgot the peg leg, but I new it wasn't captain crunch). I see, I am only the 20th to vote for it. At the age of 4 thru 8 or 9 or 10, I rated it as Awesome, but I suspect, "it sucked" was a pretty good review from the adults taste testing the stuff. I no longer eat any cereal with "added" sugar in or on it. Honey tops most of my choices these days.
