History

Corn Pops was made by Kellogg's, and still is to this day. It was described by Kellogg's as "crunchy sweetened popped-up corn cereal." Corn Pops is known for getting stale much faster than any other cereal, which is why it's packaged in a different kind of bag in an attempt to keep it from going stale as fast. Originally it was called "Sugar Pops" in 1951, and later "Sugar Corn Pops". Later it was changed to "Corn Pops". In January of 2006, it was changed to just "Pops".
