Spooned & Spotted: Limited Edition Slam Duncan O’s Cereal

H-E-B Slam Duncan O's Cereal 2017 Box

I’m not a sports person. Hard to believe coming from a guy who photographs Pop-Tarts and constantly references Pokémon, right?

So while you’ll never find me near a basketball court unless there’s Dippin’ Dots or a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song involved, long-time Cereal Timer Gabe Fonseca is a much more enthusiastic “net nut” (is that a real term for basketball fans?). Thats why he sent in this photo of new Limited Edition Slam Duncan O’s, a cereal exclusive to Texas grocer H-E-B that pays tribute to San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan.

I hear he played basketball real well. Probably scored a lot of touchdowns home runs service aces points.

H-E-B Slam Duncans Cereal 2001 Box

This isn’t the first time H-E-B has honored Duncan at breakfast time, either. Back in 2001, he got Slam Duncans: a pretty generic toasted oat ring cereal. 2017’s Slam Duncan O’s are a little more interesting, as they pair honey oat rings with chocolate puffs. At this rate, the Tim Duncan cereal family will get marshmallows and freeze-dried ice cream bits by 2049.

Sorry: I’ve got Dippin’ Dots on my mind.

H-E-B Wild Red Cereal Soda Box

For a local chain, H-E-B has done some cool cereal promotions. They even had a Wild Red Cereal based on their signature store-brand soda. In a world overrun by beverage-flavored Pop-Tarts, I think we could use more soda cereals.

Cap’n Crunch, take note: you may not have a Slam Dunk Crunch cereal, but you can make up for it with Root Beer Float Crunch.

Our thanks to Gabe for sending all the above photos. If you’ve got a ballin’ cereal photo of your own to share, pass it along on our submissions page, or just email us at cerealously.net@gmail.com. There’s a good chance your picture could be featured on the site.
