Moishe... If the flakes are smaller, there better be more of them in the box so that you are getting the full weight as specified on the outside of the package. If you have a digital scale, weigh the unopened bag from a new box before opening. There always has been some amount of "grit" at the bottom of cereal bags. If the amount of it was excessive, write to Kellogg's and they will probably send you some coupons.
