Ice Cream Cones (cereal) facts for kids
Ice Cream Cones was a fun breakfast cereal made by a big food company called General Mills. It first came out in 1987. This cereal was special because it tasted like different kinds of ice cream!
What Was Ice Cream Cones Cereal?
The cereal had two main types of pieces. Some were small, puffy shapes. These puffs tasted like yummy chocolate, vanilla, or chocolate chip ice cream. The other pieces were shaped like tiny sugar cones. These cone-shaped pieces tasted just like a real sugar cone.
Meet Ice Cream Jones
When the cereal first came out, it had a cool cartoon character as its mascot. His name was Ice Cream Jones. He was shown delivering the cereal to kids. He rode an old-fashioned pedal bike, making him a friendly and memorable character.
A Short History of Ice Cream Cones Cereal
Ice Cream Cones cereal was first introduced in 1987. However, it was discontinued in the very same year. That means it didn't stay on store shelves for long.
But wait, the story doesn't end there! The cereal made a comeback in 2003. This time, it was brought back to celebrate something special. It was the 100th anniversary of the ice cream cone! The reintroduced cereal mainly featured the chocolate chip flavor. Sadly, Ice Cream Jones did not return with the cereal in 2003.
