Star Wars and General Mills Team Up #CerealWars

Star Wars and General Mills Team Up

Thank you to General Mills for sponsoring today’s conversation. All opinions are my own.

Cereal and hidden surprises were always the best part of my mornings as a child. Much to my Mom’s dismay, I would dig through an entire newly opened bag to try to claim the prize first. Little did I know that, as an adult I would have the same urge.

Why would a grown woman want to dig through a cereal box?

I’m excited to announce that General Mills and Star Wars are teaming up to offer exclusive vintage movie posters in every specially marked box of General Mills cereals!

General Mills is once again connecting fans with what they love.

Hidden inside each box, you will find one of six timeless movie posters featuring your favorite Star Wars films.

Star Wars and cereal fans alike can collect all six classic posters in each participating brand of General Mills cereals, including:

  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch
  • Honey Nut Cheerios
  • Trix
  • Cookie Crisp
  • Reese’s Puffs

The specially marked boxes of Big G cereals hit store shelves this month. Be sure to grab them early… they are available for a limited time only.

    I like GM’s organic/natural products, such as Annie’s , Cascadian Farm, and Food Should Taste Good. I hadn’t realized GM owned these brands until I checked the site just now. Haagen-Dazs is also one of my faves.

    After looking thru the General Mills website, I read and learned from an article entitled “How to decipher the dates on food labels”. I’m always confused on when to throw stuff away, so this article has become a bookmark on my computer. Thanks General Mills!
