Another gratuitous use of "American Gothic" in advertising.

I can't recall ever noticing a General Mills corn flake. I wouldn't expect rice as an ingredient in a "corn" flake. So, I looked for the product and it is still being made and sold in service packs, although without rice as an ingredient.

Corn flakes with rice? Maybe that is why the cows were clucking and the chickens were mooing.
