Kelloggs Crunchy Nut Cornflakes - 460g

In Britain, Crunchy Nut sits on the cereal shelf as the one grown-ups buy for themselves. The kids get the cartoon boxes. This one goes on the top shelf, slightly out of reach, for reasons.

People in Canada search for it by name because they want the one from home: the same box, the same flakes, the bowl eaten over the sink before work in a flat in Leeds or a kitchen in Croydon. Nothing fancy, just the one you remember.

It comes as a 460g box with the flakes in an inner bag. Roll the bag down tight, close the lid and the crunch holds up nicely in the cupboard. Cold milk in a bowl is the official use. A handful straight from the box while the kettle boils is the unofficial one, and far more popular.

It sits happily alongside the rest of a British breakfast cupboard: a box of proper tea, a jar of marmalade, something good for toast. Kellogg's makes plenty of cereals, but this tends to be the one that goes in the basket first.
