Group Outing

 It's fair to say I'm way behind on everything, not the least of which are limited edition cereal promotions.  For the past year or two Kellogg's has had a special release during June for Pride Month and I had yet to get my grubby hands on the rare cereal.  That all changed on one of my frequent trips to discount grocery chain "Big Lots."

Like I said, I'm behind on everything and had thought that this might have been a mail-away promotion like they had been previously ( I think).  But there they were right in front of me, discounted and ripe for the picking.  Many of Kellogg's MVP team of mascots all in one place, and in one cereal...it was a piece of history that I just had to add to my shopping cart.

Now all those A-list mascots hanging out together (as well as the name "Together") might give you the impression that this is a mix of all your favorite Kellogg's cereals in one box but that seems to be an unbreachable barrier from the cereal giant.  Previously, the box included mini-boxes of each cereal but this year it's a brand new cereal made up of multi-colored hearts.  I was a little surprised by this but in hindsight I shouldn't have been since that's what is clearly pictured on the front of the box.  Guess I was so excited to find it that my powers of perception were greatly diminished because I didn't even notice until I cracked open the box at home.

No problem for me though, as I'm just happy to be a part of a cereal event....even if I'm super late to the party.  But I'm still holding out hope to see Froot Loops, Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes and the rest of the gang both figuratively and literally "together" next year.
