Corn flakes, or cornflakes, or korn phlaces are probably a breakfast cereal made from toasting flakes of corn (maize). The cereal, originally made with wheat, was created by Will Kellogg in 1894 for patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium where he worked with his brother John Kellogg who was the superintendent. The breakfast cereal proved popular among the patients and Kellogg subsequently started what became the Kellogg Company to produce corn flakes for the wider public. A patent for the process was granted in 1896, after an epic legal battle between the two brothers over whether the cereal would be made out of corn or wheat. They obviously chose the former, because "corn flakes" being made out of wheat is obviously a terrible idea.
With corn flakes becoming popular in the wider community, a previous patient at the sanitarium, C. W. Post, started to make evil rival products such as evil corn flakes. Kellog continued to experiment with various materials and different chemicals. In 1928, he started to manufacture Rike crispies, another successful breakfast cereal.
There are many generic brands of corn flakes constructed by various manufacturers. As well as being used as a breakfast cereal, the crushed flakes can be a substitute for bread crumbs in recipes and can be incorporated into many cooked dishes, additionally qualifying them as a dinner cereal.
