Big G Cereals & Hot Wheels – review & GIVEAWAY

CONTEST OVER!  Congratulations to this winner – Karen W (comment #53).  I’ll be in touch with you to redeem your prize!

My dad’s cousin used to work for General Mills.  He lives in the Buffalo, NY area; but every time we would get together, he’d come with CASES of cereal for us – so much so that we usually had to share because we had so much!  It was WONDERFUL! 

Several years have passed since our cereal case days, so we were thrilled when a nice-sized box arrived on our doorstep the other day, containing FIVE boxes of Big G cereal. 

Not only are there some of our favorites cereals here, but each box contains a Hot Wheels pullback racer!  So far, we’ve opened 3 boxes because Ian really wants those cars!  (See them pictured on the front of each box? We found that yellow car today, and added it to the ones from the other day – red and  blue.)

You know what’s really cool about these?  Remember, when you were a kid, how you had to either dig to the bottom of the bag or actually eat most of the cereal to find the prize?  Well, these are right on top, OUTSIDE of the actual cereal bag!  Now, I might be simple, but I found that exciting!  The racers are individually wrapped and you have to put on the stickers yourself.  Can I just say that Ian thinks that I’m a car-making genius?! 

Starting January 24th, inside each participating cereal box (Cheerios^® 14 oz, Cinnamon Toast Crunch^® 17 oz, Lucky Charms^® 16 oz, Reese’s Puffs^® 18 oz, and Cookie Crisp^® 15.6 oz), you’ll be able to “gas and go” with one of four custom-designed collectable Hot Wheels^® pullback racers. Each car contains a code to unlock an exciting online racing game.

When it comes to meals, breakfast is important in helping kids fuel up for the day and Big G cereals provides a healthy breakfast choice for parents to offer their families. You can feel good about giving your kids a bowl of Big G cereal and they’ll be thanking you for a breakfast that is as tasty as it is fun!

So, get out there, get your family some cereal, and have fun racing your new Hot Wheels pullback racers! 

GIVEAWAY!!!  General Mills and Hot Wheels have generously donated a package – just like the one that I received – to give away to one of my readers!  If you’d like to win, please leave me a comment telling me what your favorite General Mills cereal.  That’s it – it’s that simple.  I’ll draw a random winner from among the comments next Thursday, February 17th, at noon.
