The Special K Blursday Go-Away Kit Shares Feel-Good Flavors and Socks

— September 21, 2020 — Lifestyle
Knowing that people are finding that one day is blurring into the next during the pandemic, Kellogg's Special K created a special cereal kit as a " simple way to beat that blurry feeling." The Special K Blursday Go-Away Kit was created with the aid of Twitter, so that the brand could get a better understanding of what flavors Americans were talking about and when.

The kit contains seven flavors of Special K, each of which is matched to a different day, to support variety at home. While Monday shares a treat in the form of Special K Chocolatey Delight, the brand's Fruit & Yogurt and Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crunch Protein cereals help to create weekends to look forward to.

The Special K Blursday Go-Away Kit also includes socks for every day of the week, plus a weekly planner.
