Start your day off right with a bowl of crispy, golden cornflakes. This classic breakfast staple has been enjoyed by generations, and for good reason. As the sun rises, a young boy eagerly sits down at the table to savor his favorite cereal. The aroma of toasted flakes fills the air, awakening his senses and preparing him for the adventures that lie ahead. In 1910, artist Benjamin Tichtman captured the essence of Kellogg's Cornflakes in a vibrant poster that adorned walls across the nation. Its eye-catching design showcased a cheerful boy enjoying his morning meal, reminding everyone of the simple pleasure found in starting each day with this wholesome cereal. But cornflakes aren't just about breakfast; they have become ingrained in our culture. From quirky advertisements featuring shoppers wearing boxes on their heads to Huntley & Palmers Tribrek Breakfast Cereal enticing us with their own take on this beloved grain-based delight – they have made an impact far beyond our bowls. Even famous faces like George Harrison have embraced these crunchy flakes as part of their morning routine. Sitting down with his father Harold Hargreaves Harrison, George savors each spoonful while discussing life's wonders over breakfast. And it's not just individuals who appreciate cornflakes; supermarkets like North Finchley's newly opened store cater to Mrs P Ray as she shops for her family's needs. With its wide aisles filled with boxes upon boxes of cereals, including our trusty cornflake companions – it is clear that these humble flakes hold a special place in many households. From bustling cities to quiet countryside towns like Marshfield near Cardiff - where Mrs Hilary Williams works diligently at Unigates depot - people from all walks of life rely on cornflakes to fuel them through busy mornings and long days ahead. Even Rooster George himself took part in the Big Breakfast Cornflake Test back in 1995.
