Which Post cereal has maple-syrup-flavored corn pieces shaped like waffles?

The story behind the answer

Which Post cereal has maple-syrup-flavored corn pieces shaped like waffles? Waffle Crisp is the Post cereal made from maple-syrup-flavored corn pieces in a waffle shape.

Post introduced Waffle Crisp in 1996 as a cereal designed to imitate the look and flavor of a breakfast waffle. Its small corn-based pieces have a grid pattern and a maple-syrup flavor, making the product a cereal interpretation of waffles rather than a traditional grain waffle.

The brand’s advertising leaned into that miniature-waffle idea. Early commercials featured a group of elderly women called the “grannies,” who were portrayed as cooking each cereal piece like a tiny waffle. Later campaigns used Waffle Boy, an anthropomorphic waffle character who battled Professor Burnt Toast.

Waffle Crisp is sometimes confused with Eggo Cereal, another waffle-shaped product, but Eggo Cereal was made by Kellogg and was introduced later. Waffle Crisp was discontinued in 2018 and returned to stores in 2021 after fans requested its revival.
