ok, this seems a bit odd, listing the ingredients from the side of a cereal box! i'm considering a delete of that part and, and when i'm done writing here I'll ad the stub tag. really this article is a disgrace- jsonitsac

Reasons for the name changes?[edit]

Anyone know exactly WHY the cereal has gone through so many name changes?

Also, since the cereal is now just "Pops", should the actual article be there, with Corn Pops redirecting there? --BPM 07:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto the above. Particularly important would be the dates for the name changes. 71.9.138.79 (talk) 08:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just looking at labels in grocery stores, they seem to have switched back to "Corn Pops", but the "pops" is emphasized... --yuliya 19:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Sugar Corn Pops" was used long before 1978. In some commercials (not the one linked in the article), the words before "Sugar Pops are tops" were "Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops." See this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIALQYOeW2A (I don't see a small "corn" on the box in this video, but I'm pretty sure for some years well below 1978 ut was there.) The assertion in the opening paragraph has no supporting reference.Danchall (talk) 12:54, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't really a mystery. The name changes came about when sugar began to be regarded as a bad thing instead of a good thing and consumer and nutritional groups began to caution against the high sugar content in many children's cereals. However, as far as I know the recipe has stayed the same, except that cane sugar has been replaced with less-expensive high fructose corn syrup. - Embram (talk) 11:52, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Corn-pops-box.JPG[edit]

Image:Corn-pops-box.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Corn Pops recalled[edit]

What about publishing this news in the article? That's the official source. --Razzairpina (talk) 23:07, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Russia[edit]

I removed the following section from the article, since it appears to be about a different product altogether, not Kelloggs Corn Pops.

=== Russia ===

Corn pops in Russia are issued in the form of sticks since 1967. The original technology was developed by W. Krikunov. Now corn pops with powdered sugar are widely made in all regions of Russia and are on sale as the widespread children's delicacy under various trademarks.^{[citation needed]}

It's not clear, but this doesn't appear to be describing a Kellogg's product. From some searching online, I suspect that the product described is not a breakfast cereal at all but rather a snack food—like a sweet version of a cheese puff. Kukuruznye palochki (corn pops)? In any event, the contribution is not supported by any citation and I am disputing its accuracy and relevance.--Srleffler (talk) 01:09, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

+1, I'm looking for proper English name for this product, literally it is corn sticks. Will also create separate Wikidata item --Ата ^(talk) 08:27, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Corn Pops minor controversy[edit]

Was there a controversy regarding one of the designs having a graphic on the back displaying a bunch of pops having fun, but one of them is working and is also black, and is it worth mentioning? 2600:100E:B022:6C47:7C25:6221:62C0:8FF3 (talk) 05:33, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there was a controversy. He was a bad dude. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.102.103.18 (talk) 01:09, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any sources or pictures? Sounds like a rumor and you would need a source or reference to include.gujamin (talk) 22:10, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
