Story of the reason why the cockerel appears on the Kellogs Corn Flakes box.
Story of Nancy Richards, Welsh harpist visiting the breakfast cereal developers the Kellog family in the USA in the 1920's. She pointed out that the name Kellog was similar to 'ceiliog', Welsh for cockerel. Hence the cockerel that still appears on the box of Corn Flakes..
