Kellogg Bowl Buddies Make Breakfast Meals More Fun

The toys will be available in specially marked boxes of the brand's most recognizable cereals including Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Apple Jacks and Rice Krispies, and will work to cling onto the sides of a cereal bowl. The toys will come in several styles that are all modeled after the brand's various mascot characters including Toucan Sam, Tony the Tiger, Mini, Snap, Crackle & Pop and Apple & Cinnamon.

Senior Marketing Director of Kellogg All Family Cereal Laura Newman spoke on the new Kellogg Bowl Buddies saying, "For generations, Kellogg has brought families together at the breakfast table, with Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam and pals being an integral part of family memories made over breakfast. Now the beloved cereal gang can truly be a part of the breakfast hangout with cereal fans of all ages.”
