Crispix (or Crispix Krispies in Canada) is a brand of breakfast cereal, introduced by Kellogg's in the 1980s.

Its box touts its unique composition of "Crispy rice on one side, crunchy corn on the other" [1] . The cereal itself is in a hexagon shape. The two sides are made in a lattice pattern and connected only at the edges, the center is open allowing for great crunch. The cereal is Kosher/Parve.

Cinnamon Crunch Crispix

A variation of original Crispix introduced in late 2001 known as Cinnamon Crunch Crispix was described by Kellogg's as a "[c]rispy corn and rice cereal with a cinnamon taste." Its box boasted its unique composition, of "Corn on One Side, Rice on the Other". Cinnamon Crunch Crispix joined a number of cereals discontinued by Kellogg's after disappointing sales. Perhaps due to its short existence, the cereal has gained somewhat of a cult following[citation needed]. Kellogg's received multiple complaints about the decision to remove it from grocery store aisles[citation needed]. They have shown no hint of bringing the cereal back.
