FrostyO’s
FrostyO’s sparkled onto the scene in the 1960s and eventually became Frosted Cheerios. We are still a little sad about the retirement of Mr. Bagface.

Vote TRIX In 1956
Sonny might be cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, but from the look of this 1956 ad, these kids were crazy for TRIX! A happy way to start the day, indeed.

Alvin
This is Alvin - the very first, durable, three-person submersible vehicle. Alvin turns 50 this year! “He” found a lost hydrogen bomb in the 1940s, explored the first known hydrothermal vent and scouted the wreck of the Titanic in 1986. Alvin has completed more than 4,600 dives and is still going strong. Happy submerge-a-versary, Alvin! Learn more about his accomplishments, and connection to General Mills, here.
