Occasional Digest - a story for you

KELLOGG’s has revealed that it is bringing back a much-loved breakfast cereal after it was discontinued more than a decade ago.

The manufacturing giant has exclusively told The Sun that chocolate flavoured Corn Flakes will return to shelves next week.

The beloved item was first introduced in 2013 and shoppers went wild.

Writing on Facebook, one social media user described them as the: “Best Corn Flakes ever!!”

Another wrote: “Yay! Choco Corn Flakes! Two of my favourites in one!”

And a third added: “I wouldn’t be wrong if i said i had a slight addiction to these!”

Despite their popularity, Kellogg’s axed the cereal that same year.

Kellogg’s new chocolate Corn Flakes contain the same traditional flakes but coated with cocoa to create a crunchy texture with a chocolatey twist.

This is different from the previous chocolate Corn Flakes, which were coated in chocolate, rather than cocoa.

Kellogg’s said it is also high in fibre and vitamin D.

The Sun had an exclusive taste test of the new chocolate Corn Flakes, and we found them to be crunchy, chocolatey and delicious.

As soon as the packet is opened, the smell of chocolate hits your nose and tantalises your taste buds so you’re ready to tuck into a bowl.

They have the same familiar crunch of cornflakes but with a chocolate twist.

Emily Dutton, activation manager at Kellogg’s said: “It’s great to be bringing chocolate flavour Corn Flakes to breakfast tables.

“They can be eaten alone for an extra crunch or with milk, where the coating washes off to make the milk delectably chocolatey, whilst the Corn Flakes stay crispy.”

The cereal will be available for in Tesco stores across the country from next week, with a recommended retail price of £3.29 for 450g box.

For comparison, a regular 500g box of cornflakes costs at Tesco costs around £2.25.

The product will be available exclusively at Tesco, but there are plans to roll it out to more retailers at a later date.

Corn Flakes were first introduced in 1922, and since then, more than six billion packets have been produced in the UK.

Changes to popular food products can leave foodies divided.

The Sun revealed that Kellogg’s had dumped Frosties from its cereal variety packs – because they were too sugary.

Some shoppers weren’t happy, but the firm said it was “committed to helping people make healthier choices”.

Kellogg’s also launched a brand new cereal last year – the barista edition chocolate mocha flavour of its crunchy nut granola.

A team of food developers spent 18 months sampling different coffee flavours to make sure the balance and strength was “just right”.

It came hot on the heels of the launch of Crunchy Nut salted caramel.

The Sun recently tried six own-brand corn flakes – the winner beats Kellogg’s by a mile and is 70% cheaper.

Elsewhere, McDonald’s is bringing back an iconic menu favourite after fans begged for its return.

Plus, Heinz has launched a divisive new ketchup flavour and some say it’s ‘fundamentally wrong’.
