I used to think that corn flakes were the middle of the cob sliced ver-r-r-y thin and baked. I suppose like crisps (US- chips). I thought it was brilliant that they had something to do with the cob when the corn kernels had been taken off and put into tins. I think I was into my teens before this belief was shaken, and I still think it's a shame it's not true. (After all, shredded wheat is demonstrably made out of twigs, and nobody's convincing me otherwise!)
