Talk:Corn flakes

message: i am not a Wikipedia editor, so i did not make this change and i'm hoping someone else will.  there is a factual error in paragraph 2 of the History section:  wheat is mentioned as what corn flakes is made of (it's linked to, as well).  this should, in fact, be corn.

replies: text: I agree. For proof: see also: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cornflakes; http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/cornflakes. Hence, I changed most occurrences of "corn flakes" to "cornflakes".

message: Is the ingredients list neccessary? Most articles pertaining to similar topics don't include a list of ingredients, though I'm not neccessarily opposed to including ingredients as it is in the very least informative. Glassbreaker5791 (talk) 02:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ingredients? 

message: I find this article lacking in information. It says not who invented it, when, how, what made the person think of it, if there had been foods like it before, what the public  reception was. I mean, it looks like the "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" entries of which we used to laugh at "Corn Flakes: Flakes of Corn".
I would love to see more than "who the main competitor" wast in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.224.139.156 (talk) 13:10, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm aghast that no one has addressed the fact that in a mere twenty years corn flakes have reduced by 60% in size. I think anyone who ate them as a kid would consider that the most notable historical element of them--the fact they're rapidly shrinking--and thus deserves a mention. I'll leave it to the regular editors of this article to consider, but please give it some weight, as it's a notable difference. BaSH PR0MPT (talk) 11:10, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Corn flakes" is ambiguous 

message: As a Welsh speaking Welshman I have amended the entry on the way to say the Welsh word Ceiliog which is the origin of the cockerel emblem on the packets of Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
It is formally pronounced K-eye-lee-og but there is a lot of dialect variation in Welsh and in some dialects it is said as Kee-log which is very close to the surname. If you actually listen to the video used as one of the references the article the formal Welsh pronunciation is used just as I describe.
This story has numerous other references which could be used and is well-known here.

message: As Wikipedia is international, I think it is inadequate to just use the word "corn" which Americans will suppose means maize and the British will suppose means wheat.  The French and German versions specify maize.  The title should remain "Corn Flakes" since that is the common name, but the crop often used needs to be made clear.Chemical Engineer (talk) 17:07, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree very sharply.  See WP:ENGVAR.  This article is presumably in American English, in which variety "corn" means specifically Zea mays.  "Maize" has a more specific meaning in American English, referring to decorative flint corn, which is presumably not used to make cornflakes. --Trovatore (talk) 22:52, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
