Question: What American cereal has gone to the moon?

Answer: Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. When Apollo 11 headed to the moon in 1969, the ship was stocked with cubes of cereal, with options including Corn Flakes, according to the Kelloggs’ website. The cereal was stored in packets, and astronauts needed to add 3 ounces of water before eating them. Corn Flakes were an attractive candidate for space food because they were nutritious, lightweight, compressible, and zero-gravity edible. And while Apollo 11 was in space, the brand offered young Earthlings 20 different spaceship-themed stickers as prizes in their boxes.
