Review and Giveaway: General Mills Retro Cereal #4 - Cinnamon Toast Crunch

This is the fourth of five General Mills giveaways this week.  Enter the first three here, here, and here.

Again this year for a limited time, Target stores are carrying the Retro editions of five favorite General Mills Big G cereals, complete with authentic "retro" package designs and cartoons from the '50s, '60s, and '70s.  These special edition boxes are only available until mid-March!

All the boxes have authentic Retro designs, as well as games and activities on the boxes.  For even more fun, you can go to GrocerySavvy.com to watch authentic retro cartoons, such as Underdog, King Leonardo, and Dennis the Menace.  You can also print coupons for General Mills products!

 

Today I'm highlighting the Special Edition Cinnamon Toast Crunch box - from 1984.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch was a cereal that my mom bought very occasionally for a treat when I was growing up.  Boy were we excited!  Of course, in my large family you had to get up early if you wanted a couple of bowls of cinnamon-sugary goodness!

Remember, you can buy all the Retro cereals at Target stores, but you also have a chance to win some for free!  Thanks to General Mills, I am giving away a fourth Big G Retro cereal gift pack, which includes one each of the five special edition cereals, plus a $10 Target gift card!

I received a retro cereal gift pack from General Mills, who is also supplying the giveaway prizes..  I received no other compensation for this post, and the opinions are my own.
