General Mills is kicking off year two of its Cereal Training Camp by passing the ball to a new roster of football stars. This season’s wide receiver lineup includes Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Like last year, Cereal Training Camp includes a new, limited-edition custom cereal, this time created by Jefferson. Named the Jettas Mix, it’s a fruity fusion that combines Frosted Lemon Cheerios and the recently released Cinnamon Toast Crunch Strawberry.
“Cinnamon Toast Crunch was always my go-to cereal growing up, and after dropping my own Griddy box with the brand a few years ago, this really feels like a full-circle moment,” says Jefferson. “I can’t wait for everyone to try my custom Jettas Mix. It's a winning combo of that fresh, lemony vibe and the sweet hit of strawberry Cinnadust for a flavor you won’t want to fumble.”
In addition to the Jettas Mix, Cereal Training Camp promotes the football stars front-and-center on their own limited-edition boxes of General Mills cereals.
“Our fleet-footed wide receiver partners—with their love of cereal, big personalities and signature end-zone dances—bring heart, hustle, and humor so cereal and football fans everywhere start their day with a win,” says Mindy Murray, brand experience director for General Mills’ Morning Foods.
Each box showcases a different player sporting a custom cereal jersey on the front, with the back panel capturing their moves in action. The full lineup includes:
- Justin Jefferson bringing his viral victory dance, “The Griddym” on Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- Ja’Marr Chase showing off his swagger with the “Lucky Strut” on Lucky Charms
- Amon-Ra St. Brown’s head-turning “Honey Handstand” on Honey Nut Cheerios
- Reese's Puffs cereal boxes featuring all three athletes together on one standout box
Football fans can find the four limited-edition boxes, as well as the Jettas Mix, at retailers nationwide beginning in August for $3.50. Also, beginning September 4, Walmart.com will release a collector’s edition of the Reese's Puffs cereal box, complete with custom trading cards and a Bluetooth speaker, available while supplies last.
“Growing up, I never would have thought I’d be on a cereal box, and I had a blast recreating my headstand for Honey Nut Cheerios—the OG cereal for me,” Amon-Ra St. Brown says.
“Cereal always takes me back to my childhood, and Lucky Charms was one of my all-time favorites,” Ja’Marr Chase adds. “The marshmallow charms were always the best part—well, maybe second best now that my ‘Lucky Strut’ is on the back of the box.”
