No, after looking at Lucky Charms’s short-lived Waldo the Wizard mascot, I concluded that obscure cereal mascots like Waldo don’t get the praise they deserve. I don’t mean the sudden realization that Cheerioats is an awesome name for Cheerios because it sounds like “Cheery Goats”-though that did dawn on me, too. But after looking at General Mills’s included “fun fact” sheet, it dawned on me: As March 7th approached and my calendar’s ink started running under the worried grip of my sweaty mitts, I wasn’t sure how to follow this for Cerealously’s second year on the world wide web. Last year I celebrated National Cereal Day by counting down my favorite cereals of all time. With a sturdy cereal bowl and t-shirt celebrating this holiday’s “OGs,” a suite of cereal boxes, an actual Rubik’s Cube, and more holographic plastic squiggles than their are permutations of a Rubik’s Cube, this care package is as wholesome as it is bowl-some. A day when we can run a shoe buffer over our favorite shiny spoon, eat Cocoa Puffs for every meal plus dessert (which we were going to do anyway), and make fun of health-conscious cereal haters-because you don’t see kale smoothies getting their own national holiday, do you?Īs usual, the Lucky Charming, Cinnamon Toasting folks at General Mills gifted me an awesome, retro-themed National Cereal Day care package. That’s right, it’s March 7th: National Cereal Day! Today’s our day, breakfast lovers. Finally: now that all those Hallo-Thanks-‘mas-New-Valen-hog things are over, we can celebrate the real most wonderful time of the year.
