HOW POPS WAS BORN

THE NEW BREAKFAST CEREAL

Kellogg's Corn Pops It's already sweetened • Ready for milk or cream NET WEIGHT 8 OUNCES

Created by Kellogg People- as New Service to Mothers

Battle Creek, 1950-Corn Pops, the sweet, crispy, ready-to-eat cereal that has already become a top favorite with the world's two best customers: America's mothers (who are the breakfast chefs) and the children who are the breakfast eaters.

Just the "Heart" of the Corn The plumpest, sun-ripe hearts of milled corn —the part loaded with sweet corn juices—are first slowly preroasted and sealed in their rich, sunny flavor. Then they're tenderly deep-puffed to a crisp crunch, by steadily controlled manufacture—not intermittently puffed, like popcorn—thereby releasing the natural sweetness of corn without the addition of sugar.

—That sweetness is already in it!

EACH crunchy kernel of Corn Pops is all energy; even total fat-free Corn Pops is the fuel for nutrition to build strong bodies and minds. A delicious tasting form of carbohydrates and energy for you every day. Crisp, flattened puffs absorb less liquid and the resulting low calorie content is useful to keep down weight worries.

The children who eat it will not care to "skip" their morning times when they sample Corn Pops.
