==Controversies== Corn Pops attracted attention in 2017 when author [[Saladin Ahmed]] observed that the art on the back of the Corn Pops box, which depicted a number of anthropomorphized Corn Pops playing and participating in various activities, featured just one Corn Pop which was brown colored, which was portrayed working as a janitor washing the floor. Ahmed posted his observations to [[Twitter]], where they went viral. Kellogg's responded to Ahmed on Twitter apologizing for the artwork, and the artwork was changed for future boxes of the cereal.<ref>{{cite news |last=Marquez |first=RJ |date= October 26, 2017 |title=Brown-colored Corn Pop image on Kellogg's cereal box stirs racial controversy |url=https://www.ksat.com/news/2017/10/26/brown-colored-corn-pop-image-on-kelloggs-cereal-box-stirs-racial-controversy/ |work=KSAT |access-date=7 May 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Taylor |first=Kara |date= October 26, 2017 |title=Kellogg's Redesigns Corn Pops Cereal Box After Accusation of Racist Artwork |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kellogg-s-redesigns-corn-pop-s-cereal-box-after-accusation-n814656 | work=[[NBC News]] |access-date=7 May 2024}}</ref>
