Frosted Flakes

Frosted Flakes or Frosties is a breakfast cereal, produced by WK Kellogg Co (formerly the Kellogg Company) and consisting of sugar-coated corn flakes. It was introduced in the United States, in 1952, as "Sugar Frosted Flakes". The word "sugar" was dropped from the name in 1983. Generic versions, such as store brands, are also available. Unlike many cereals, such as Cheerios, Shreddies and Rice Krispies, the name “Frosted Flakes” is so generic that it cannot be trademarked, and thus it often shares its name with competitors. International names Frosted Flakes (U.S. and Canada) Frosties (UK, Ireland, Australia, Israel, most Commonwealth nations, and European and Middle East countries; formerly Frostis in Spain) Zucaritas in the U.S. and Hispanic America (the word translates as "little sugary things") Sucrilhos in Brazil (a fusion of sugar + crunch + milho) Corn Frosty (コーンフロスティ) in Japan Corn Frost (콘푸로스트) in South Korea
