8	If there ever was a rule that should be listed in the RulesOfTheInternet but isn't, it would be "If it exists, there's a breakfast cereal based on it".
9
10	You name it, a kid had a bowl of it every morning (AdjacentToThisCompleteBreakfast). Sometimes it was fruity, other times it was chocolatey or had marshmallows shaped like iconic pictures that in some way tied into the piece of media it's based off of.
11
12	Nine times out of ten, the cereal tasted worse than the box it came in and was a bargain-bin version of a more mainstream cereal like Advertising/{{Trix\|Rabbit}}, Froot Loops, Lucky Charms or the Advertising/MonsterCereals, but no one actually bought it for the taste. People wanted it for the fun characters on the front, the puzzles on the back and those rare few with the FreePrizeAtTheBottom.

63	* In 1991 Ralston briefly marketed an Urkel-Os cereal, whose connection with ''Series/FamilyMatters'' was mainly just that it had Urkel all over the box.
64	* ''Series/HannahMontana'' got its own cereal at the height of its popularity. The full name was "Secret Identity Cereal".
65	* For the premiere of ''Series/Loki2021'', Marvel Studios collaborated with General Mills to produce a limited edition variant (heh) of Lucky Charms where Lucky the Leprechaun was replaced with Loki. It wasn't available in supermarkets, rather it was only available on a dedicated website called [=MischievouslyDelicious.com=]. [[https://www.ign.com/articles/mischievously-delicious-loki-charms-sell-out-in-seconds According to IGN]], it sold out ''fast''.
66	* Franchise/TheMuppets had a short-lived cereal based on their popular Swedish Chef character, Cröønchy Stars (the full absurdity of the vowels is not capturable here). The marketing was borderline parody, between the Chef's antics in the commercials and the unusual games and puzzles on the back of the box, some of which were deliberately unsolveable.
67	* Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} "cerealized" their famous "[[CoveredInGunge Slime]]" in 2003 with [[https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=714 Green Slime]] cereal.

The cereal featured marshmallows in the shape of Super Mushrooms, 1-Up Mushrooms, and Question-Mark Blocks, and initially featured an NFC Toys/{{amiibo}} chip in the box that could be scanned in ''Odyssey'' and various other games to obtain power-ups and other small benefits. The latter feature led to intact boxes being widely scalped, especially after Kellogg's started selling boxes without the chip a few months later.
87	* In 1989, the Nintendo Cereal System was released. It was made with 2 bags of cereal, one based on ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' and the other on ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'', and the box was made to look like a TV, the screen showing each game on each side.

103
104	[[folder:Western Animation]]
105	* While ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' never got its own stand-alone cereal, there ''was'' a Limited Edition Advertising/CapnCrunch cereal named [[https://breakfast-cereal.fandom.com/wiki/File:Neutron.jpg Cap'n Crunch's Neutron Berries]], being a version of Oops! All Berries with the "berries" shaped like a rocket, Goddard, and Jimmy's and Cindy's heads.
106	* ''WesternAnimation/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventures'' had their own cereal called "Bill & Ted's Excellent Cereal".
107	* On the back of various Kellogg cereal boxes in the late 1990s, a campaign was made for fans to vote for one of eight tie-in cereal ideas for Creator/CartoonNetwork properties. While ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' won first place and ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' was the runner-up, the campaign was abandoned before any of the cereals could get made, though tie-in stickers ''were'' made and are now collector's items.
108	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' eventually received its own cereal in 2000, unrelated to the contest above. It featured crisp rice cereal with colorful fizzing clusters.
109	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' had a cereal with stars made of wheat, oat, and sweetened corn.
110	* If there was ever an example of the trope that outlived its source material, that honor would go to Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. Originally made as a tie-in to TheSixties animated sitcom ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', the Advertising/PebblesCereal was so popular that the cereal would continue to be sold in every grocery store in America to this day, even as the original show reached its end. Even if you've never seen an episode of ''The Flintstones'' or any other iteration of the franchise, you've probably had one of the Pebbles Cereals at least once.
111	* Besides the everlasting Fruity Pebbles, other Creator/HannaBarbera characters have also sponsored cereal. WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw sponsored Sugar Smacks, Snuffles (also from ''QDMG'') sponsored Apple Jacks, when Sugar Smacks was changed to Honey Smacks Series/TheBananaSplits sponsored it at one point, WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}} sponsored Cocoa Krispies, WesternAnimation/YogiBear sponsored [=OKs=] Cereal, and [[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Huckleberry Hound]] sponsored Sugar All Stars.
112	** The same is even more true for Creator/JayWard and Creator/TotalTelevision shows such as ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Underdog}}''. Not only did the main characters of those shows sponser various General Mills cereals, General Mills owns the television syndication rights to those shows to this day.
113	* General Mills made a ''WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins'' cereal, with the cereal pieces shaped like stars and fruit-flavored.
114	* ''WesternAnimation/ThePinkPanther'' had Pink Panther Flakes, made by Post in the 1970s.
115	* ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' had her own cereal, courtesy of Ralston. It, according to the commercial, had natural fruit flavors.
116	* ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy'' had Powdered Toast Man Cereal, which is essentially a version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
117	* Beginning in mid to late 2010s, General Mills created a seasonal cereal for Creator/RankinBass' ''[[WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'' only sold during the Christmas season. It includes cereal pieces shaped like reindeer while the marshmallows are shaped like a Christmas Tree, Rudolph's red nose, a Christmas Tree, and Hermey's hat. The package includes a Rudolph cut-out that can be used as a Christmas tree decoration.
118	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Reptar Crunch, filled with purple rice crisps and green dinosaurs. This took its inspiration from an early episode in which the babies are curious about "Reptar Cereal" ("They're big, they're mean, they turn milk green!").
119	* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' had "Cinnamon Marshmallow Scooby-Doo!" cereal from 2002 to 2008. In 2013, it came back as Scooby-Doo Cereal. There was also the short lived Berry Bones.
120	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' had a tie-in cereal on four occasions: twice in 2004 (once to tie in with ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie''), once in 2014, and once in 2020 to tie in with ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun''. All of the cereals except the 2014 one were similar to Lucky Charms in that they had grain bits with marshmallows shaped like [=SpongeBob=], Patrick, and [=SpongeBob=]'s pineapple (as well as Plankton in the original movie's cereal), with the pieces themselves shaped like jellyfish in all but the ''Sponge on the Run'' cereal; in the 2014 one, the pieces are shaped like [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick, and no marshmallows are in it.
121	* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'':
122	** The WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|1987}} Cereal came out in 1989 and was released by Ralston Purina (who were behind a lot of the older specimens on this page before selling their branded cereal line to General Mills), with pizza-shaped marshmallows coming out later on. Prizes included Ralston Purina comic books and collectible cards that tied into [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 the 1990 live-action film]].
123	** The [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012 series]] even had [[https://images.freshop.com/00016000472983/4d12ac79d980cc547608769b35fa8d11_large.png its own cereal]], though it was nothing more than a Advertising/{{Trix\|Rabbit}} knockoff, the kernels shaped like the turtle's faces.
124	* The early-mid 2000s saw a collaboration between Disney and Kellogg's to create different kinds of cereals based on different Disney and Pixar properties, some containing prizes such as a Disney Read-Along DVD with a story, songs and lessons in vocabulary. Some of these Disney cereals included:
125	** "[[https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal/c_247_mud_and_bugs_box_front.jpg Chocolate Mud and Bugs]]", a ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'' cereal. The "mud" was the chocolate cereal and the "bugs" were marshmallows.
126	** "[[https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=233 Mickey's Magix]]" was themed to WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse (specifically, ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]''). This cereal was a Lucky Charms-esque cereal with star, moon, and Mickey-shaped marshmallows whose main selling point was turning the milk blue ([[TagLine but not you]]).
127	** "[[https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=206 Hunny B's]]" was based on Franchise/WinnieThePooh and was a honey graham-flavored cereal with pieces shaped like the letter B, Pooh's face, honey pots, and bees.
128	** "[[https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=49 Buzz Blasts]]" was a cereal based on [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]]. The cereal was similar to Hunny B's but instead featured pieces shaped like flying saucers, Buzz's face, [=LGMs=], and Buzz's spaceship.
129	* ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' had a cornpuff and marshmallow cereal called "Wild Thornberry's Crunch".
130	* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' had their own cereal released in 1990, the year the show debut, it was Alphabits but only had the letters T,O, and N which spelled Toon. Which was ironic since the show has colorful characters and it you would have thought it would be sugary sweet cereal.

137	--> '''Jimmy's Dad:''' Each bite is a sugary jolt of life. Plus, makes my hands dance.
138	* One of the examples of "moichandising!" Yogurt mentions in ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' is "''Spaceballs'': da Breakfast Cereal". If you look closely, the box has a label that reads, "[[ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs 100% Sugar]]".

143	* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatDeadlyAlliance'' has an unlockable joke video advertising "Kan-Os".
144	--> "Before heading into kombat, Kano likes to start his day with the wholesome goodness of Kan-O’s cereal. Its vitamins and minerals give Kano the energy to give his toughest opponents a massive butt-kickin’. Kan-O’s, the only cereal that turns milk blood-red!"
