The History of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies

When you think of breakfast classics, few cereals have the staying power—and the audible charm—of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies. Known for their signature “Snap! Crackle! Pop!” sound and their place in both cereal bowls and marshmallow treats, Rice Krispies have been a staple in kitchens for nearly a century. But where did it all begin?

The Birth of a Cereal (1920s–1930s)

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies were first introduced in 1928 by the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, Michigan. The cereal was created by food scientist E. W. Kellogg, a nephew of company founder W.K. Kellogg. The innovation? A process that took cooked rice, then toasted it until it puffed and crackled when milk was added.

It wasn’t just tasty—it was fun. Those tiny bubbles in each puffed grain released a distinctive sound that made eating breakfast more entertaining. That signature snap, crackle, and pop quickly became a marketing sensation.

Enter Snap, Crackle, and Pop (1930s–1940s)

The three cheerful elves known as Snap, Crackle, and Pop made their debut in 1933, created by illustrator Vernon Grant. Originally appearing in print ads, the trio quickly became the cereal’s mascots—and have remained so for over 90 years.

Snap, the eldest, wears a baker’s hat and is the problem solver. Crackle, with his red bandana, is the unsure middle child. Pop, the mischievous youngest, sports a military-style hat and brings the fun. Over the years, the elves evolved in appearance but never lost their charm.

World War II and Rationing

During World War II, Kellogg’s, like many food manufacturers, faced ingredient shortages and changes in production. Despite wartime rationing, Rice Krispies stayed in production and remained popular for their lightness, affordability, and cheerful branding at a time when Americans needed a morale boost.

The Rise of the Treats (1940s–1950s)

In 1939, a game-changing recipe was born in the Kellogg’s home economics department: Rice Krispies Treats. Created by Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day as a fundraiser for the Camp Fire Girls, the marshmallow-and-butter combo was a hit. Simple, sticky, and sweet—it soon became a go-to homemade dessert for kids’ lunches, school bake sales, and holiday trays across America.

By the 1990s, Kellogg’s began selling pre-packaged Rice Krispies Treats in stores, turning the homemade classic into a commercial success.
