They're both made by Kellogg's and seem to have basically the exact same ingredients only corn flakes has a lot more iron which I need. Do they taste the same?

    Frosted Flakes are yummier, imo, because of the sugar coating:) Maybe you could try the corn flakes and sprinkle a bit of stevia to imitate the frosting?

    Not the same...frosted flakes are coated with sugar...corn flakes are not.

    I would double check the nutrient comparison on those...Im sure that frosted flakes, even if it has more iron, also has more sugar and more calories as well.

    Not that I'm saying one thing or another about it. Id buy frosted flakes over cork flakes any day.

    I buy cornflakes and add sugar to it. Corn flakes are cheaper, and you get to choose how much sugar to put on your cornflakes. TADA!! :smiley:

    I don't know about that.
    I add frozen sugared strawberries to my cornflakes and that *kitten* is off the hook good. And bonus strawberry milk afterward ftw!

    One is coated in sugar, the other isn't.

    Corn flakes taste pretty good though. Add some fruit to it.
