Maypo is an American brand of hot cereals. The original product was maple flavored oatmeal but there are now a variety of flavors sold under the Maypo brand name. It was originally manufactured by Maltex Co. and is now owned by Homestat Farm, Ltd.[1] It was best known for its television commercials with the catchphrase, "I Want My Maypo" by Marky Maypo.
History
Maypo was developed by the Maltex Corporation in Burlington, Vermont, a company that had been manufacturing wheat and barley cereal since 1899 under the name Malted Cereals Company. Maypo was first marketed in 1951.
Shortly after the development of Maypo, Maltex was sold in 1956[2] and became a division of Heublein.[3][4]
