Since
1941, Cheerios has been one of the
premeire breakfast cereals. It's also one of the few
kids will eat even though it isn't
marketed by a
cartoon character (the
Honey Nut Bee is
Honey Nut Cheerios).
Cheerios are pretty
plain when you get right down to it, but are still pretty good. They are shaped like brown little mini-
doughnuts and made almost complelty from
whole grain oats and, according to their
distributor General Mills, can reduce the risk of
heart disease. This is due to one gram of
soluble fiber per
cup. Cheerios have always come in a
bright yellow box and probably
always will.
Other
variants on Cheerios include
Apple Cinnamon Cheerios,
multi-grain Cheerios, and the recently introduced
Team Cheerios.
