From: General Mills
Introduced in 2003


This limited edition cereal was a tie-in with an animated television series called Yu-Gi-Oh!. From the Japanese, Yu-Gi-Oh! translates roughly to "Game King".

In addition to the branded cereal, General Mills also produced cereal bars, yogurt and fruit snacks with Yu-Gi-Oh! packaging.

The cereal came in a metallic, holographic box. The honey-sweetened corn puff cereal pieces were shaped like triangles to represent a medallion worn by the TV series character Yugi.

In a press release from August of 2003, Steve Vekich, the marketing manager for promotional cereals at General Mills, was quoted as saying, "We're thrilled to bring Yu-Gi-Oh! to life through our limited edition Yu-Gi-Oh! Cereal. We've captured the essence of Yugi and his favorite monsters in both our cereal and its packaging to deliver a product Yu-Gi-Oh! fans will love."

At the same time Yu-Gi-Oh! cereal appeared on shelves, General Mills ran a related promotion by offering Yu-Gi-Oh! action medallions in boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs, Trix, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cookie Crisp and Reese's Puffs cereals.
