now this is very interesting....

why havent other cereal companies figured out to use the foil type of bag like sugar corn pops?

because in the past sugar corn pops have been subject to bizarre experiments and abductions.
no other cereals are really of interest to "those guys"

Why would they want the extra costs if the wax-paper ones work?

Kellogg's in the UK seems to have started using a them for Corn Flakes in 2004link

Because marketing studies for the cereal companies showed that with rice krispies, cheerios, etc., their customers eat a bowl almost daily, finishing the box of cereal before it goes stale. On the other hand, while their customers enjoy the flavor of corn pops, they typically gag on the sweetness and only eat a bowl every 4 or 5 days to break up the monotony of cheerios for breakfast daily. Thus, without the easily resealable foil enclosure, the corn pops would go stale.

If that was true, wouldn't Lucky Charms come double-bagged in foil? 😀

Mmmm, sugar.
