While always known as Crunchy Nut or Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes in the UK, the cereal has undergone several name changes in the US.

The name changed to Nut & Honey Crunch in 1987 with a memorable ad campaign centered around the "nuttin', honey" pun. In the late '90s, it became Honey Crunch Corn Flakes. Despite this history, a 2011 UK press release announced Crunchy Nut's introduction to the US.
