From: General Mills
Introduced in 1995


In 2009, this cereal was described on the box as a "frosted whole grain oat & corn cereal." In earlier years, it was described as simply a "frosted whole grain oat cereal."

The cereal's original slogan was "Frosted Cheerios taste so good, the box never closes," as in...

"So sweet and crunchy, this box never closes... Now, those wholesome little O's have been frosted the whole way 'round for a delicious, crunchy sweet taste everyone's into. Frosted Cheerios taste so good... this box never closes."

A later slogan was "the taste gets you out of bed."

The most memorable television commercials for Frosted Cheerios featured a cavalcade b-list TV stars peering into a box of the cereal touting its frosty goodness. Among the celebrity spokespeople: Chris Elliott, Gilbert Gottfried, Shirley Jones, Florence Henderson, Wayne "Newman" Knight, Larry "Bud" Melman, James "Scotty" Doohan, Gumby and Pokey, Rob Schneider and Kathy Griffin.

In 2004, Marvin E. Rogers of Chandler, Arizona alleged that he nearly broke his tooth on a small dime-sized piece of metal found in his box of Frosted Cheerios. Rogers filed a claim against General Mills, but the complaint's current status is unknown.

I like this cereal a lot but now they're hard to find. Since Alpha-Bits changed to how they are now (not good), this is a good substitute and even better than the old Alpha-Bits.

Dude, they taste like the marshmallows from Lucky Charms with Cheerios texture - not even lying.

This happens to be a revived version of Frosty O's.

I can not find them in local grocery stores for the last five months. I don't care if they contain sugar... I love them!

Ugh. I just had these for the first time this morning. I was disappointed. They have a sickeningly sweet taste, very artificial. I thought they might taste more like Honey Nut Cheerios or Multigrain Cheerios, which are lightly sweetened yet really good. Frosted Cheerios aren't worth it. Glad I only had a free sample-sized box!
