    It's totally doable.
    It'd be too expensive to do to something so cheap.
    How many people buy boxes labelled Kellogg's Corn Flakes that contain counterfeit product?

    @Soldier_CLE: It might actually give it a roasted corn flavor, which would be delicious.

    Does it matter if they laser etch it or not? I still buy generic.

    This is not possible. Some flakes would be missed, some would have a portion of the name burned. OTOH if Kellogs can acquire, target, and burn - bamillions of Cornflakes, long enough to write their name INDIVIDUALLY on each flake, then I call fake and say that this is a test of antimissile system.

    I think Giz "got it" about the spelling. The (zed) thing is a pretty big clue. (only in England, Canada, Australia...)

    I think it's silly and unlikely, but having witnessed how fast and easily a laser etcher can sweep across a conveyor to etch expiration dates and lot numbers into paper labels, I don't think it would be that hard to implement. It wouldn't etch every cornflake but it would be easy to just have a the etcher sweeping over a conveyor of flakes.

    The daily mail is a trashy tabloid but capitalise is spelt with an 's' over here so that's your miss Giz.

    Also Corn Flakes are vastly inferior to their tastier older brother, crunchy nut cornflakes.

    Adding sugar? My dear sweet knucklehead, you must add bananas, BANANAS, you sonomonbitch!

    Anyway, I wouldn't believe this crazy shit for a second, and personally, I would actually NOT buy Kellogg's Corn Flakes if they do start defacing their cereal with their brand name.

    1. Kelloggs did invent Cornflakes
    2. Please don't ever correct English spellings.
    3. Hoorah! someone in US finally gets the grasp that Daily Mail isn't the best news source (along with Sun n Daily Star), oh add BBC to that list with Guardian, they're pretty impartial(cos unlike other news they HAVE to be)
    4. This actually sounds an awesome idea, laser etching logos into most foods would add a touch of class.

    It's spelled with an "S" in the language of the country that wrote the article, genius.

    You're right about the Mail though. It's a xenophobic extreme-right-wing tabloid which can't do any WWII reprints because it supported the Nazis right up to the declaration of war.

    Ehh.. It depends on the cereal. I'd use the sifter for Lucky Charms. All I really want is the marshmallows anyway. Same goes for Captain Crunch. But on the other hand you have Frosted Flakes and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The end of the box is pretty much meth in cereal form, and who would wanna filter that out?
