From: General Mills
Introduced in 1997


A 1997 television commercial introduced this cereal by showing a stick of cinnamon and graham cracker falling in love to the tune of "Love Is In The Air." The following is the narration of that ad:

"You love cinnamon. You love graham. But they've never come together like this. New Cinnamon Grahams cereal. The crispy graham kissed with a sweet cinnamon glaze. A delicious part of this complete breakfast (a bowl of the cereal, milk, juice, buttered toast and bagels appeared on the screen). One taste and you and new Cinnamon Grahams will be together forever."

This cereal was launched using a cross-promotion with Old Navy called "Breakfast and Blue Jeans - Better Together". It was considered to be the first ever such promotion between a breakfast cereal and an apparel company. Old Navy coupons were included on the back of the cereal box, while Old Navy stores actually sold the cereal side-by-side with its pants, shirts, underwear, etc.

The side of the cereal box announced a sweepstakes with a grand prize of a truckload of Old Navy apparel for the student body (or at least 2,000 students) of the winner's school.

Company Description: Officially created in 1928, General Mills traces it's history back to the 1860's and the ownership of two flour mills. Since then, the company has become the world's 6th largest food company - marketing to over 100 countries... Read on and see all cereals from General Mills

Although only 8 people have voted on Cinnamon Grahams, I'm sure if it were back on shelves it would do well. I miss it myself. I thought it was the best cereal on the market. I don't really know why it was pulled. I wouldn't think poor sales, if so maybe it wasn't advertised enough or something. Maybe with the way times are these days, it might be a good time to try it again. A new choice and all. Who knows! Anyhoo, I would definitely be a loyal customer, but please don't change the recipe. Thank you for your time.

I eat 2packets of cinnamon grahams every week and think they are the best cereal on the market. I look forward to my breakfast as cinnamon grahams are my favourite start to the day.
