Here’s some cereal information for you:

Kellogg USA brings Poké-mania to the breakfast table in May with the introduction of a limited-edition cereal and Pop-Tarts toaster pastries based on Nintendo’s popular Pokémon characters.

Kellogg’s Pokémon Toasted Oat Cereal With Marshmallow Bits is the first and only Pokémon cereal. The enticing, fun, Pokémon-decorated box contains oat-based rings with four Pokémon character-shaped marshmallows — blue Poliwhirl, yellow Pikachu, pink Ditto, and green Oddish — and the cereal is fortified with 12 vitamins and minerals. On the back of the specially marked boxes is a game that invites kids to be the best Pokémon Master by helping Ash find the Pokémon hidden in the colorful picture. The average price for the cereal will be $2.49 for a 13.2-ounce package.

Cereal isn’t the only tasty way kids can enjoy Pokémon for breakfast. Kellogg’s Pokémon Pop-Tarts toaster pastries will put smiles on kids’ faces with a new Wild Cherry flavor. Yellow Pikachu frosting is topped with Pokémon sprinkles in four Pokémon character shapes: yellow Pikachu, blue Poliwrath, pink Chansey and orange Charmander. Priced the same as regular Pop-Tarts toaster pastries, Kellogg’s Pokémon Pop-Tarts come 12 to a box at an average price of $2.79. They will be available until the end of the year.

Well, that’s all for now. I’m going to go and try to sneak onto the show floor.
