Not sure where looking, but seeing that as incorrect. US nutritional values for Kellogs Corn Flakes as 100 calories per 1 cup, and Kellogs Frosted Flakes as 111 per .75 cup.

Same on the tesco.com website. Oddly, I was sure the calorie difference was higher than that. Still, doesn't make sense for them to be so similar, unless Cornflakes uses added sugar in the mixture and Frosties has all the added sugars on the outside.

Maybe because there's more fat in the unfrosted one.  :orly:

Ha! You're right. I don't know why I didn't even notice that. I guess I didn't think of it.

Now there's the mystery of why there's a difference in the American versions.

Nah, I just think you need to add more sugar because you have crappy ingredients. :P
