Bob Ross Cereal Doesn’t Taste Like Oil Paint and Aqua Net

The Bob Ross posthumous merchandising craze continues. Yes, Bob Ross The Joy of Cereal is an actual breakfast cereal with marshmallows inside. The cereal appears to be a Lucky Charms ripoff with oat squares and happy little marshmallows. Lucky Charms might have a leprechaun, but the Joy of Cereal has a dude with an afro who never makes mistakes, only happy little trees.

You can get a box of this collectible cereal from FYE right here. That’s kind of pricey for a box of rebadged Lucky Charms, but it’s got Bob Ross on it, and is sure to make your morning super chill and positive, especially with the cut-out “Positivity Paint Palette” on back.

It’s too bad there’s not a prize inside the box. The Bob Ross Funko POP! figure would be a perfect pack-in.

This Candle Looks and Smells Like a Bowl of Froot Loops

Fruit Loops. They’re magically delicious. Wait, that’s not right. They’rrrrrre great! No, that’s not it. Anyway, I don’t have to ask Toucan Sam to follow his nose to this Froot Loops cereal candle, because I can do that myself.

This thing looks like a half-eaten bowl of cereal and smells just like Fruit Loops when you burn it. Jennifer Cox of Nashville’s CandleLit Desserts created this breakfast replica to please your nose and your eyes. She makes all kinds of candles that are realistic and look and smell like desserts and other foods. But this one is for the cereal lover in you.

It even has a real spoon sunk into the faux milk wax. You can check out this candle and many others in her Etsy shop. Pretty cool. Now all I need is some toast candles, some bacon candles, and some OJ candles and my breakfast that I can’t eat a single bite of will be complete.

Anyway, if you like the smell of cereal and you can’t get enough of it in your home, this one’s for you.

Lucky Charms Inspired Beer Brewed with Marshmallows

You know I always thought that the Lucky Charms leprechaun seemed a little drunk. Hey, if you drink enough you’re gonna be seeing pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds everywhere. This Lucky Charms inspired beer is exactly what he would drink.

C’mon you know this little dude was hopped up on something. Back in the ’80s, all of the cereal mascots were on something.

Norfolk, Virginia based Smartmouth Brewing Company’s Saturday Morning IPA probably should not be a part of a nutritious breakfast on Saturday mornings when watching cartoons. This Lucky Charms inspired beer is actually brewed with cereal marshmallow bits. The 6.6% ABV brew will be available for a limited time before Saint Patrick’s Day, but only in Virginia at select bars, restaurants, and beer stores.

Smartmouth says the IPA is “..brewed with in-house toasted marshmallows and bulk dehydrated-marshmallow-bits. It has been hopped and dry-hopped with Galaxy and Calypso hops. The nose is sweet and citrus, with orange and pear aromas. It has a soft pillowy body with a slight cereal taste. The result is magically ridiculous!”

I guess they say that that’s because they can’t legally say that “it’s magically delicious,” even if the beer actually is.

Cap’N Crunch Pop! Action Figure Needs More Crunch Berries

Growing up, the key to a great Saturday morning full of cartoons and fun was a big bowl of Cap’N Crunch cereal with Crunch Berries in it. Note that I am most certainly not talking about the nasty peanut butter variety available back in the day, or the “plain” version that lacked Crunch Berries; those cereals were for hooligans.

Now you can cruise to the kitchen and get some cereal carrying this sweet Cap’N Crunch POP! Action figure. He even comes with a sword, so he’s ready to do battle with any cereal pirates that try to loot his breakfast booty.

I remember the commercials for Cap’N Crunch that came on during cartoons to this day, and I rather wanted to cruise the milky high seas with the old Cap’N.

Entertainment Earth has the Cap’N Crunch Pop! action figure available for pre-order for $10.99, and it will ship in January. Sadly, that means you can’t give it to your cereal-loving brother that still lives in your parent’s basement for Christmas.

This genius double-walled cup lets you eat your cereals on-the-go!

The Crunch Cup is just the kind of invention I’d expect from a mad scientist who wanted to have a wholesome breakfast while rushing to work. For years we’ve been able to carry coffee, tea, juices, and milkshakes around with us in flasks, but having cereal on the go has always been that elusive concept that nobody bothered to crack… until now.

That’s where the Crunch Cup is trying to change the game. The first cup that’s designed to have cereals while on the move, the Crunch Cup comes with a double-wall construction and a double-mouthed lid to match. Made of an inner and outer container, the Crunch Cup holds both parts of the milk-and-cereal combo separately, keeping them away from each other so you’re not left with a soggy mess. The inner container holds the cereal of your choice, while the outer container is for the milk of your choice. A two-piece, double-mouthed lid sits on top, allowing you to take a sip of your milk and a crunch of your cereal at the same time. The cereal remains crunchy because it isn’t soaked in the milk until it reaches inside your mouth, and the lid itself can be closed so that you can take your breakfast with you on the go, taking a sip/crunch every 5-10 minutes whenever you feel like. Can be used with milk and mini-Oreos too!

Overwatch Lucio-Oh’s Cereal Is Part of a Nutritious Breakfast

Overwatch players will already know that Lucio makes in-game references to his own cereal: the support character even has a spray for a box of “Lucio-Oh’s” cereal. Players really liked the joke so they added a voice line. But the story doesn’t end there. At this weekend’s BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard announced something special for all the dedicated Lucio players: a real Lucio-Oh’s cereal that is coming to store shelves soon.

Blizzard is teaming up with Kellogg’s to put a box of Lucio-Oh’s on your breakfast table, bringing the game to life in a delicious and crunchy way. The cereal has loops in Lucio’s green and yellow colors, and is a flavor called “Sonic Vanilla.”

These boxes will also include a “Loot Boost” where players will earn an extra loot box with their next three XP rank-ups. This means that you’ll get six total instead of three. Just be aware that redeeming these Loot Boosts is a bit of a pain. You need to submit a photo of your receipt online. Plus, the cereal has to be purchased between December 3rd, 2018 and December 31st, 2019, and photos must be submitted within 30 days of purchase. Photos have to be uploaded to a special Lucio-Oh’s website – and at some point within the three following days, the Loot Boost will kick in. I say just enjoy the cereal.

You can expect to see boxes of Lucio-Oh’s hitting stores in early December.

FunkO’s Cereal Has the Coolest Toys in the Box

Back in the day, the thing to do early on a Saturday morning was eat a huge bowl of sugary cereal and watch cartoons. I tended to choose my cereal at the store not based on taste, and certainly not on its nutritional value, but on the cool factor of the toy promised inside. In other words, I’d have totally bought FunkO’s cereal.

Each box of the colorful cereal has Funko Pop! action figures inside. The flavors aren’t noted, but I would assume the red cereal tastes like strawberry, the green tastes like apple, and the blue tastes like blueberry. Or I could be totally wrong. Each cereal is designed to change the color of the milk it’s floating in too.

In addition to Funko’s own mascot, the cereal can be had in Cuphead & Mugman, Megaman, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Gollum varieties. Other cereals will come later this year. How much they cost and where can you buy them is the next question.

Funko to Make Cereals with Mini POP! Prizes Inside

You know what we need? Better and more fun breakfast cereals – with better toys in them. Do they even still put toys in cereals, or have the lawyers shut that down too? Well, if you want new cereals that you can eat and feel like a kid again, Funko has got your back.

Not content to simply make POP! Vinyl figures of every property in existence, the company has now revealed that they will be making a new line of cereals. Funko Pop cereal will have in-box prizes: A mini-Pop figure inside of each box. The cereals will feature some of our favorite pop culture characters like Elvira, Cuphead, He-Man, Wonder Woman, Freddy Krueger and more.

It gets even better. When you add milk to the cereal it will put on a thematic, but edible show. The Elvira cereal will turn black, while the Freddy Krueger cereal will turn blood red. That sounds appetizing.

The cereal will be sold through collectible stores and will go on sale in June 2018 for $7.99 a box. So there ya go. Funko is another step closer to taking over the world. Now they will rule the breakfast table. Who knows what they’ll do next. Maybe some TV dinners with geek toys included.
