When did Kelloggs change Corn Pops to just "Pops"

[Willy Duet]

Why can't they just call things by their original name, ie. "sugar corn pops", "kentucky fried chicken", etc.

"Now made with 200% more air and sugar."

 

[daveymark]

that way some unsuspecting poor lad on a health kick will think they're Wheat Pops

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

probably because they made a lot of cereals whole grain a few months ago....and they aren't just corn anymore

because its not corn, nor is it chicken.

it became KFC when they decided it was unhealthy sounding to call it Kentucky FRIED chicken

Pops now has 4 different box designs to suit your cereal box viewing tastes.

the same time that SUGAR Smack just became Smacks or whatever. (the box with the frog on it)
People think its better for you if it is more nondescriptive.
I am surprised Frosted Mini Wheats say frosted as well as Frosted Flakes

On the KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken I heard they were having to pay the state of Kentucky to use the name so to save money they started calling it KFC to save the fee.

They probably couldn't use Corn Pops since there's no actual corn in the cereal. But Frosted Mini Wheats and Frosted Flakes are obviously frosted.
