Forget the snakes—there’s a JPEG compression in my boot!
Yes, the above piece of cereal box lo-fi art is the only trustworthy documentation we have of Kellogg’s upcoming cereal–cinema collab: Toy Story 4’s Carnival Berry Cereal! The fourth film in the beloved (and occasionally tear-jerking) Pixar series is also getting the franchise’s third cereal, continuing the apparently Kelloggianly blood-bound partnership that brought us 2002’s excitingly grahamed Buzz Blasts and the considerably less creative Toy Story 3 Cereal.
It remains unclear whether this new Carnival Berry flavor will be a proper testament to the new film’s setting, or just another inscrutably arbitrary flavor choice—much like the one that brought us the similar-sounding Berry Purrr-fection taste in Caticorn Cereal. Kellogg’s has had, at least from my perspective, a rather slipshod start to 2019. Outside of some awesome Pop-Tarts paraphernalia and the news of succulent Corn Pops yet to come, the minds behind Froot Loops and Apple Jacks have had rings run around them by the explosive innovations of Post.
I mean, would it killed them to have done a Carnival Cotton Candy flavor instead?
But speculating flavors is about as productive as counting pixels, so while we wait for this cereal to hit stores, I’d rather do my best to try and find another cereal listed near Toy Story 4 Cereal: these Blueberry Cheerios. Big thanks to The Junk Food Aisle for his tips on both! If you have cereal news—or a stolen Blueberry Cheerio preserved in amber—please don’t hesitate to share!
