I don't know. That's exactly what he said.
Arabic & More May 11, 2011:
Corn nuts is a snack food and not a breakfast item. "Breakfast of Champions" is associated with a cereal called "Wheaties." It has been the company's slogan for decades. "Corn Flakes" is another type of cereal, but is not the "Breakfast of Champions." Is there any possibility that "corn nuts" was a typo or mistake in the text? I guess it really depends on the context and what is being discussed/promoted.

CornNuts are a popular treat, but do they have nutritional value? The ingredients on a bag of CornNuts are simply corn.
