Spooned & Spotted (Canada): General Mills Star Wars Boxes & Post Football Boxes

Canadian Star Wars Cheerios Box Darth Vader

“Hut, hut…Jabba the Hutt, hike!”

While America’s northern neighbors may not get a lot of the exclusive flavors we get in the States (I’m dedicating my Orange CreamPop Crunch box to you, Canada), they sure do get a lot of cool cereal package designs.

Take these bold Star Wars Cheerios boxes—presumably released in anticipation of this winter’s Rogue One—for example. While in the U.S., we merely got General Mills Mascots redesigned in Star Wars garb for The Force Awakens, Canadian breakfasters get to make eye contact with Darth Vader himself.

Now I just want to see Buzz the Bee face off against the Sith Lord. While my money’s on Anakin, Buzz’s wings do give him the higher ground.

But it isn’t just lightsabers that’ll be gracing Canadian kitchen tables. They get linebackers, too.canadian-sugar-crisp-football-box

As part of a jersey sweepstakes promo, Post Canada is wrapping all its iconic flavors in Canadian football team uniforms. I barely know any American football teams (aside from the Miami Dolphins, who I love solely because of their adorable mascot), so all these names are Greek to me…or at least French.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather just call my team “The Shreddies.”

There are nine boxes in all, so scroll onwards to run through the whole lineup.

Maybe if I Force Pull hard enough, I can yank some of these boxes across the border from here. If you’d like to see your picture or thoughts featured on a “Spooned & Spotted” post, click yourself right on over to our submissions page, or just email us at cerealously.net@gmail.com.
