The best way to find anything out is with a poll!

We've identified two major possibilities as to how Rice Krispies could be manufactured. But we don't know which of them is true. The first possibility is that they're little puffed-up rice grains. Pop-rice, if you will. Alternatively, Kellogg's might smash all the rice down into rice flour and then make a dough and then form the little Krispies out of that. Informed by the best empirical and scientific research traditions, we will now conduct a poll. A poll on LJ. Because truth is by consensus.

According to wikipedia, Rice Krispies proper are actually made of corn that is formed into a rice-like shape and then puffed up. Puffed rice, however, is heated rice that puffs up (like my envirokidz organic cocoa bron rice puffs).

*nods* I read that too! And I was all ready for that to be the truth...

But then I cheated and looked at a box of Rice Krispies. "Ingredients: Rice, sugar, salt, high fructose corn syrup, malt flavoring".

(which is inconclusive as to our two major hypotheses? ...)
