| Marky (1956), a four-year-old brat decked out in a cowboy outfit, couldn't get enough maple-flavored oatmeal. "I want my Maypo!" A history of Maypo and Marky Maypo can be found at the Homestat Farms website. Originally owned by Maltex Co (a Hueblein subsidiary), the brand was acquired by Standard Milling Company (The Uhlmann Co of KC, MO) when they purchased the total assets including inventories of the Maypo/Maltex division from Heublein as of June 1, 1967. Standard at that time owned Wheatena Corp, having purchased and assumed operations November 1, 1965. The Uhlmann's owned the Wheatena's, Maypo and Maltex until 1985 when they sold them to American Home Foods, later renamed International Home Foods. The brands were subsequently sold to ConAgra in August of 2000. In October 2001 it was bought by Homestat Farm and they have reintroduced the cereal. Chocolate-flavored and Banana-flavored Maypo were also available. A commercial for Banana-flavored Maypo may have featured a frightening personage called "The Banana Man".
