I can't remember how I got there, but I just stumbled upon kelloggs.com and discovered that certain Kellogg's cereals are different in the US to Australia...

Not cereals, but a bit similar:

When I was in Canada the Corn Pops looked different. They were completely round, not the little shrivled oval type thingys that we have. But they tasted exactly the same as ours.

Sorry to hear your Rice Krispies have a different name, that probably means you havent seen the awesome Reel Big Fish Rice Krispies commercials

our rice bubbles adverts are highly amusing, we have these characters called snap, crackle and pop, do you have them?
