Ice Cream Jones

Ice Cream Cones was a breakfast cereal from General Mills that was introduced in 1987. The cereal production was led by project director Ronald Leuthner. The cereal consisted of puffs sweetened for chocolate, vanilla or chocolate chip ice cream flavor, as well as sugar cone-shaped pieces sweetened for sugar cone flavor. The cereal's mascot was an animated character named Ice Cream Jones, who delivered the cereal to kids on an old-fashioned pedal bike.

The cereal was discontinued the same year it was introduced. It was reintroduced in 2003 with the chocolate chip flavor to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ice cream cone, but without Ice Cream Jones.
