Wierd question, most cereal seems to be sealed in clear plastic type bags. However, I always noticed Corn Pops are in what looks like mylar or some other metallic type bag. Even the ‘travel size’ boxes of Corn Pops have little metallic bags.

Is there something about Corn Pops that they need to be stored differently than every other kind of cereal?
