This new General Mills football packaging is a limited-edition version of the company's various box styles that each put football-themed updates in the spotlight to coincide with the season. The limited-edition branding will be observed on Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, Trix and Cocoa Puffs with each one featuring their mascot transformed into a football player. The branding update will also launch alongside the Mega Bundle, which includes a Mega box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch featuring Jason Kelce and a Mega Bowl.
The new General Mills football packaging is headed to the market now and is being supported by a campaign with the Kelce brothers and Pittsburgh linebacker T.J. Watt to further drive home the sporty inspiration.
