I really don’t care about this.
But, just to comment:
Once upon a time, the names were more honest - Sugar Smacks, and (Super) Sugar Crisp. They’ve been playing that game for a few years.
Yep I remember. They used to be called Sugar Smacks not Honey Smacks.
What they now call Corn Pops used to be Sugar Pops.
Frosted Flakes used to be called Sugar Frosted Flakes.
Somehow they decided that sugar was a bad word in the name of a cereal. But they didn’t reduce the sugar content of the cereals. They just changed the name.
Yup. I remember that too! Sugar Smacks, as they were called then, were one of my favorite cereals as a kid. They dropped the word sugar from their name because it wasn't a selling point anymore, but kept all the sugar in regardless. Corn Pops, another favorite of mine then, were known as Sugar Pops.
That’s right! And they were called Sugar Pops, not Corn Pops! (One of my favorites when I was a kid).
I just realized the cereal has been named “Honey Smacks” (about 31 years) the same amount of time it was named “Sugar Smacks” (about 32 years). Talk about making you feel old!
