Corn Pops is a breakfast cereal made by Kellogg's, described by the company as "crunchy sweetened popped-up corn cereal." Originally called Sugar Pops in 1951, it was later changed to Sugar Corn Pops, and then to "Corn Pops", during a time when many cereals dropped the word "Sugar" from their titles. In January 2006, the name of the cereal was changed to Pops, but after a few months of poor reception, was changed back to Corn Pops.[citation needed] In mid 2007, Corn Pops launched its first line extension in many years called "Chocolate Peanut Butter Pops". Corn Pops are made from milled corn and the American version has a flattened, smooth, bumpy shape.

Canadian Corn Pops look very different; they are spherical and have a porous surface, similar to Kix cereal. The taste and texture of the Canadian and American versions of the cereal differ considerably despite sharing the same name and manufacturer. Kellogg's says this is due to raw ingredients and the Regulatory Agencies that exist in a particular country, and that their cereal differs by country also because of marketing and cultures.

Research is done in different countries to determine preferences, and the formula for the cereal is changed accordingly, affecting the texture, color, and nutrition. For example, 1 cup of American Corn Pops has 110 calories, 110 milligrams of sodium, 40 milligrams of potassium, and 26 grams of carbohydrates. One cup of Canadian Corn Pops contains 130 calories, 200 milligrams of sodium, 35 milligrams of potassium, and 32 grams of carbohydrates.

The fat, cholesterol, and protein content is the same.
