As we all know, June is Pride Month, and,
in celebration, Kellogg’s is releasing a new heart-shaped cereal! The cereal, Together
with Pride, was created in partnership with GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian
Alliance Against Defamation), is berry-flavored, and contains colorful pieces
topped with (edible) glitter. In short, it’s fabulous! Yayyyyy!!!
The cereal is scheduled to appear on
store shelves—nationwide-- in mid-May and will only be available for a limited
time. The 7.8-ounce boxes have a suggestive suggested retail price of
$3.99 and would be a bargain at twice the price! Better yet, Kellogg’s will
donate $3 to GLAAD for every box sold/purchased. (Make certain to upload your
receipt to “Kellogg’s Family Rewards” to guarantee your donation is
processed.)
Kellogg’s released a statement saying, “The
delicious new recipe features berry-flavored, rainbow hearts dusted with edible
glitter. The cereal marks the latest chapter in a years-long partnership with
GLAAD and is the evolution of the fan-favorite — All Together Cereal — which
previously was only available online.”
Kellogg Wellbeing tweeted about the
special-edition cereal, writing, “All are welcome to the breakfast
table with our NEW Together with Pride cereal coming to shelves soon. For
every box sold, Kellogg is donating $3 to @glaad to support the LGBTQ+
community @KelloggCompany”
Last year, Kellogg’s introduced a
limited-edition variety pack of its popular breakfast cereals, previously
referenced, called “All Together Cereal” in support of the pro-LGBTQ lobbying
group GLAAD. The company has previously received various awards for “diversity”
and “inclusion,” though its main competitor, Twin Cities based General Mills,
is equally woke, having received the approval of several LGBTQ activist groups,
including the “Human Rights Campaign.”
And remember, pride is great, if it’s the
kind of Pride! that the LGBTQ community has, but not if it’s the kind of
pride that, say, the Proud Boys possess!
Anyway,
look for Kellogg’s—and General Mills—to introduce more inclusive
cereals in the near future. I expect to see Kellogg’s introduce “Even Fruitier
Loops ;),” “Raisin’ Cane Bran,” and “Porn Flakes” by the end of the year, while
General Mills is rumored to be close to releasing “Flex,” “Totally Gay,”
and “Queerios.” Moreover, Kellogg’s is said to be working on a cereal box
saluting the polyamorous community, on which Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam, and
Snap, Crackle and Pop are artfully and sensitively portrayed engaged in an uninhibited
exhibition of “love is love.”
Because,
after all, no matter one’s gender, orientation, kinks, belief system, or expression
of intimacy, we must lovingly embrace them. Unless, obviously, “they” happen to
be former President Trump-- or one of his supporters. Or a conservative
Christian. Or a Republican. Or believe marriage is meant to be between one man
and one woman. Or are against abortion. Or are for the Constitution and/or the
Bill of Rights. But, other than that, tolerance and inclusion are the most
vital and universal values that one must hold and exhibit.
Together
with pride!
