Pob



Kellogg's just made a major change to Corn Flakes cereal after 66 years

Corn Flakes might not be the sexiest of all the cereal options in the supermarket, but they’ve been a reliable choice for decades.

However, Kellogg’s latest move might surprise some as it involves a major change being made to its iconic mascot, for the very first time.

After 66 years, Cornelius the cockerel is entering a new era, in a bid to connect with a younger generation and combat declining sales.



A quick and easy breakfast I suppose, but my father used to refer to all breakfast cereals as 'pob'. I've always see it as a pretty good description, whatever Cornelius the cockerel might get up to.

My breakfast is usually a lump of cheese and a couple of dry oatmeal crackers. Nothing complicated and certainly not pob.

  2. There was, in my childhood, a Kellogg's cereal like cornflakes but horribly sweet, advertised by a Tiger. What was it called?

    For breakfast nowadays I often put some muesli in a jar and add blueberries and milk. I put the jar in the fridge overnight and then eat in the morning with half a banana sliced on it and some toasted coconut poured on. Pretty good.

  3. (Not the Nine o'clock News@...

    Corn flakes are certainly acceptable, especially when sprinkled over food...

  4. Sam - Starmer may approve of that - allegedly.

    dearieme - Frosties - I still remember how horribly sweet they were. Your breakfast sounds fairly similar to the preparation Mrs H puts together, but she uses porridge as a base.

    Scrobs - ha ha, there are some good YT clips from Not the Nine o'clock News.
