General Mills is making a splash this summer with its new Mermaid Cereal. With fruity cereal pieces and packaging that literally sparkles, this new cereal will make your mornings just a little bit more enchanting.
General Mills' Mermaid Cereal is a brand new breakfast cereal hitting store shelves in June of 2019. The cereal comes in an under the sea-themed box that depicts a smiling mermaid swimming toward a big bowl of cereal with the word Mermaid written in sparkling foil letters above her. Inside the box are star-shaped and tail-shaped corn puffs in teal and orange hues. The corn puffs boast orange and pineapple fruit flavors with a sweet milk finish.
With both Family Size and regular sized boxes available, this new cereal is perfect for kids and adults alike.
