‘The Corn Flake Kid’
Two Irish sisters star in new Kellogg’s advert which will air tonight!
#MyPerfectBowl
Irish sisters Anita and Kate O’Hara, both originally from county Sligo, proved they were the cereals biggest fans and have been selected to star in Kellogg’s latest TV advert to tell the nation how they eat their Corn Flakes.
Earlier this year Kellogg’s took to social media to ask the UK and Ireland how they eat their perfect bowl of Corn Flakes and cereal super fans Anita and Kate were selected form hundreds of applicants.
The ad, which will air on our TV screens tonight was shot last month in Anita’s flat in London, where it took a film crew two hours to get set up. The campaign, features eight real families and individuals – who are all huge fans of the cereal – talking abut their perfect bowl of Corn Flakes.
“I was such a fussy eater and so when the rest of the family were having lasagne or stew, I would be eating a bowl of Corn Flakes,” said Anita. “My dad always called me ‘the cornflake kid’. I was introduced to them by my grandmother who loved them with hot milk and honey or sugar – so that is how I have always eaten them. Even now it is a real comfort food.”
Meanwhile sister Kate prefers a slightly more unusual recipe for her bowl of cereal. “I think I read in a magazine years and years ago to try orange juice as a milk alternative, so I tried it and never looked back – it’s my favourite. For us Corn Flakes are a big part of our family life, my mum used to say she could always tell when Anita was worried or nursing a broken heart, she would reach for a comforting bowl of corn flakes! Even now we catch up at supper over a bowl.”
A spokesperson from Kellogg’s, said: “We have seen a change in how people are eating cereal but also in what they are having for breakfast. Therefore we wanted to capture how our customers are eating Corn Flakes. After a long break from advertising, it is time for us to start talking about Corn Flakes again; our cast remind people what they love about this iconic cereal.”
