Cellucor is extending 'Cereal Killer' from its 'C4 Energy Drink' into 'C4 Sport' pre-workout, turning the fruity cereal concept into a performance supplement flavor. The move gives pre-workout users a sweeter option in a more cost-effective tub, with the same cereal theme now tied to workout prep.
The product features a colorful cereal-themed label and is available as a limited-time taste via Cellucor's online store. Each tub holds 20 servings and costs $21.99, keeping the format compact and straightforward for repeat use.
At $21.99, Cereal Killer gives the brand a low-friction way to carry a recognizable flavor across two supplement lines. Limited-time flavors like this can draw attention to the shelf while also testing whether a novelty taste deserves a permanent spot.
