Just in time for back-to-school season, Thomas' Breads announced a collaboration with WK Kellogg Co, turning a fruity breakfast cereal into Froot Loops Mini Bagels for anytime snacking. This limited-time collab from two experts in breakfast foods helps to alleviate the decision fatigue of deciding between cereal or bagels for breakfast.
Thomas' Froot Loops Mini Bagels are pre-sliced and share the sweet crunchiness of Froot Loops cereal in a way that both kids and adults will appreciate. Ryan Versfeld, Director of Brand Marketing at WK Kellogg Co, says, "By introducing the irresistible fruity deliciousness of Froot Loops cereal into a new medium, we can provide a unique way for our fans to enjoy their favorite flavors."
Thomas' Froot Loops Mini Bagels are popping up at major retailers until October 10th.
