Kellogg’s Made a Cereal in Honor of Queen Elizabeth II, Complete with Gold Leaf and Edible Diamonds
Queen Flakes has Special K, corn flakes, gold leaf, edible diamonds, pearls, and macadamia nuts.
Queen Elizabeth II of England has been known to eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast. In honor of her status as the longest-reigning queen in the British monarchy, Kellogg's is releasing a special breakfast cereal called Queen Flakes in the U.K.
Queen Flakes will be a mix of Special K and Corn Flakes — her royal highness’s favorite cereals. As a posh touch, the cereal will also be decorated with gold leaf, edible diamonds, pearls, and macadamia nuts.
The cereal fit for a queen will be available at Black Milk Cereal Café in Manchester.
A spokesperson from Kellogg’s told Food Manufacture, “Despite tough competition from names such as ‘Monarch Munch’ and ‘Liz’s Loop,’ we felt ‘Queen Flakes’ said it best.”
Oliver Lloyd-Taylor, Black Milk Cereal owner, told Food Manufacture it was a “privilege” to celebrate the queen’s reign with this cereal and “hilarious to be part of something so over-the-top.”
Queen Elizabeth II has been a British monarch for over 63 years.
