Contents
Introduction
Details of this product was first announced in a press release from General Mills on September 2, 2003. Steve Vekich, the marketing manager for promotional cereals at General Mills, was quoted as saying, "We're thrilled to bring Yu-Gi-Oh! to life through our limited edition Yu-Gi-Oh! Cereal. We've captured the essence of Yugi and his favorite monsters in both our cereal and its packaging to deliver a product Yu-Gi-Oh! fans will love."[1] At the same time, General Mills also announced Yu-Gi-Oh!-related promotions for Go-Gurt, Fruit Gushers, and other General Mills cereals.
Details
The suggested retail price of the cereal was marked at 2.49 U.S. dollars.[2] The cereal box contained trivia questions on its side that could be answered to obtain code words that allowed people access to certain parts of www.yugioh.com.[3]
