Kellogg’s UK says Super Mario Cereal is real, may only be sold in the US
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. Back of the cereal box has been added below.
Original: If you needed further confirmation that the new Super Mario Cereal is happening, Kellogg’s has you covered. The company’s UK Twitter account told one consumer that the serial is in fact real. However, based on the wording, it sounds like it may only be sold in the US.
The official tweet is as follows:
We can confirm this product is being released in the US but not currently in the UK. We will pass your feedback on! Thanks.
— Kellogg’s UK & IRE (@KelloggsUK) November 29, 2017
It may have initially seemed too crazy to be real, but based on this tweet and the fact that it has started to show up in Target’s inventory system, we should be seeing the Super Mario Cereal soon. Unfortunately, folks outside of the US may have trouble getting their hands on the cereal.
Thanks to Ninwed for the tip.
