Today I bring you Pumpkin Spice Cheerios:

This is a limited edition of the popular cereal.  The fat little pumpkin and cinnamon sticks hint at what’s in store for you:

Don’t worry if you find cereal kinda boring — there’s a Tic-Tac-‘O’ game on the back to keep you entertained.  Get four pumpkins in a row and you win!   Win what, you ask? Why, nothing.
