I think what I remember most about Kellogg Company is when I was a kid we would go tour the factory. At the end of our tour we would have ice cream with Froot Loops on top.
Homer from Michigan shared
Kellogg's is a brand that will always be at the heart of America. I am a former employee (during the 60's and 70's). Since my tenure with Kellogg, I only allow my children, grand children and guests at my house to eat Kellogg products – once a Kellogg person, always a Kellogg person.
James from California shared
I just ordered a total of four of the trucks offered on Kellogg's Corn Flakes to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the company. Kellogg's Corn Flakes is my all-time favorite cereal. I am enjoying a bowl as I write this message.
Cindy from Pennsylvania wrote
I grew up with Kellogg's cereals. I always purchase Kellogg's Corn Flakes and love them with bananas.
Jeff from Florida shared
I grew up with Frosted Flakes, but the new Strawberry Mini Wheats are so good.
Bill from Michigan wrote
Kellogg's cereal has been a breakfast staple and late-night snack of mine since I was a little kid. I still enjoy Kellogg's Rice Krispies and the Snap! Crackle! Pop! sound they make. Best of luck in your next 100 years.
Sue in Connecticut wrote
I remember eating Kellogg's Rice Krispies when I was a child. There was a ring premium of Snap! Crackle! Pop! inside the box. I would always try to be the first to open the box to get the ring!
Brandon from Texas remembered
Growing up in the 70s, I remember so many fun Kellogg's characters from cereal boxes – my favorite was Big Yella, the cartoon cowboy from Corn Pops!
Carmen from Colorado shared
I remember loving Kellogg's Puffa Puffa Rice second only to Kellogg's Frosted Flakes growing up. It was a great memory seeing the box on your website!
Dede in Rhode Island shared
My mother's favorite cereal was Kellogg's Concentrate. As a kid, I loved it too. Happy 100th Anniversary.
Don from Illinois shared
I'm a 72 year old male that had problems with constipation all my life until I started eating a good size bowl of Kellogg's All Brand 13g low carb. The results were amazing, and I am very happy with the results. I am a new man. I tell all my senior friends with this problem and they agree 100% with the results. Thanks for a great product.
Cecile from Canada wrote
My first memory of Kellogg's Corn Flakes was when I was about five years old. There was a little doll in a red and white checked dress premium offered on the back of the box. I wanted it very much so my parents ordered it for Christmas.
Tom in Michigan remembered
I first visited the Kellogg's Battle Creek Plant in 1976, and it was a very good experience for me. I have been enjoying your cereals since I was a child.
John in New Hampshire shared
One thing I remember is original Pop-Tarts from the 60s, the flavor I really liked and wish you would bring it back – coconut Pop-Tarts.
Tifanie in Michigan wrote
It's funny how things like what kind of cereal you eat becomes a family tradition. In my family – starting with my grandparents, then my parents, then me and now my children – we have always stuck with one brand and that is...Kellogg's.
Brittany from North Carolina shared
Every day as a child my mom would fix me a bowl of Kellogg's Corn Flakes. I thought that was the best! I still eat Kellogg's Corn Flakes to this day!
Barbara from California wrote
I remember growing up in Rhode Island in the 1950s and eating Kellogg's Frosted Flakes right out of the box while we watched cartoons. I now buy Frosted Flakes for my children – they're still Gr-r-reat!
Billy from New Mexico wrote
The only cereal I have eaten in 58 years is Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
Taylor from Bradenton, Florida wrote
Growing up in North Carolina in the 1940s my job was to do the grocery shopping for my family. I would ride my Western Flyer down to Harris Super Market (now Harris Teeter) and pick up the week's supply. ALWAYS on the list was my favorite cereal, Kellogg's PEP. In those days there was sometimes a special surprise in the box for kids and always a box top you could fill in for something. Above all else, PEP was the greatest cereal. I still reminiscence about it when I roam the cereal aisles.
Helen from Michigan shared
I remember when my parents took us kids to Battle Creek, Michigan to tour the Kellogg plant. I remember it was so much fun. They gave us little paper hats to wear on the tour. At the end of the tour they sat us in a room and gave us vanilla ice cream with chocolate Rice Krispies on the top. We really thought that was a good treat. The whole trip from Detroit and back made us feel like we went on a short vacation.
Sarah from Maryland wrote
I love cereal, especially Kellogg's cereal so much, that I voluntarily ate only cereal for a week. I also ate fruits and vegetables, but other than that, cereal was my main source of nutrition. I loved it and even lost a few pounds! My friends really didn't thing I could do it, but I resisted even trying other types of food during my "cereal week." I always get excited when Kellogg comes out with new types of cereal; I just tried Kellogg's strawberry Mini Wheats. So good!! Thank you for all that you do nutritionally, socially, and globally so that everyone can enjoy your delicious products!!
Pat from New Jersey remembered
I have been eating Product 19 since I was a teen in the 60s. I never have anything else for breakfast! Please don't ever stop making it... don't know what I would eat! Even when we were living overseas for a short time, I stocked up before we went and then had packages of Product 19 mailed to me. Wish I had counted all the bowls of Product 19 that I've eaten in my life. Wonder how many bowls that would be? – 40+ years at 365 days per year...so it's more than 15,000 bowls I would venture.
Misty from Texas wrote
I remember when the Snap! Crackle! Pop! theme song came out. My older brother, and two older male cousins were inseparable... they started calling themselves Snap! Crackle! and Pop!, and came up with their own remix of the song. I still to this day cannot get that tune out of my head each time I see Rice Krispies! We all still get a laugh out of that at family gatherings.
Lyle, a Kellogg retiree wrote
One of my favorite memories, in 1944 or early 1945 Mr. Kellogg shook my hand and welcomed me to the Kellogg family. Mr. Kellogg was in a wheelchair and it was very difficult for him to see, he was being pushed by a gentleman who said to him, "this is a young man you haven't met." This is more of a thrill today than at that time.
Kelly from Wisconsin shared
My best friend and I took an end of summer/beginning of college road trip to Michigan last summer. We went camping and to a concert. We ended up staying in Battle Creek because we were fascinated with the Kellogg's Cereal City USA. We had no idea that Kellogg's and Battle Creek had such a storied past and such a bright future!
Ide from Highland Park, Illinois remembered
How wonderful it was when I was young and listened to the Snap! Crackle! Pop! I loved breakfast. As I grew older, Tony the Tiger was my favorite! Now that I am older, I still count these cereals as my favorites.
Marie from Florida shared
I've been eating Kellogg's cereal my whole life, and I love it. Tony the Tiger is my best friend. I eat my cereal with his spoon every morning that I got in a promotion many years ago. Happy 100th
Della from Pennsylvania wrote
I've long been a Froot Loops girl. Oh, sure, some other cereals have come and gone in my life, but I always return to my true love. I ate so much Froot Loops as a child, that after I married and visited my Granny, she had a box of Froot Loops ready for me!
