Team Cheerios

From: General Mills
Introduced in 1997

This cereal was originally called Team USA Cheerios when it was introduced in 1996 as a limited edition tie-in with the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA. The name was changed in 1997 and the cereal was relaunched.

Team Cheerios was described on cheerios.com like this:

"3 delicious O's teamed up for one sweet crunch!

"Nutritious whole grain cereal sweetened with brown sugar and frosting. Team Cheerios, three delicious O's that pack a sweet crunch. Pour yourself a bowl, dig in, and score great taste in every bite!"

In May of 1997, a promotion took place where a helicopter dropped hundreds of boxes of Team Cheerios into a giant bowl in a football stadium in Lewisville, Texas.

Team Cheerios Cereal Commercial

A 1998 television commercial showed various youth sports teams enjoying the cereal while the following voice-over played:

"Who loves Team Cheerios? The Sting Rays were stung by them. Down south, the Barracudas are chomping them down. The Sharks are in a frenzy for them. Teams all over gave Team Cheerios a tryout and they loved it, because it's three awesome O's teamed up and sweetened up with frosting and brown sugar for an amazing sweet crunch your team will love. Don't forget the mighty Sandcrabs. Yeah, they dug right in. Team Cheerios. The taste your team will love."

Team Cheerios was awesome! Just the right mixture of brown sugar and frosted sweetness in a whole grain cereal. The amateur high school teams featured on the back of the box were cool too. Teams were selected based on their on the field success AND their off the field good deeds in the community. A great example of companies promoting good while doing good business.

Even though I haven't seen it in stores in 15 years, I still check the cereal aisle every time I go shopping just in case they've decided to bring it back. Nothing will ever compare to the deliciousness of Team Cheerios!
