Frosted Flakes Drops Michigan Wolverines National Championship Cereal Box

As Tony the Tiger says, “They’rrre Michigan!” Wait, what?

First, the Michigan Wolverines claimed their first men’s college basketball championship in 37 years. Now, they’re on the cover of a cereal box.

Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes revealed on Wednesday that it’s selling a limited-edition Michigan championship-themed cereal box, according to WXYZ Michigan. There’s no cereal inside, rather it’s a box to commemorate the triumph.

The Wolverines beat the UConn Huskies on Monday night, 69-63, to win the National Championship for the first time since the 1988-89 season.

Elliot Cadeau finished with a game-high 19 points for Michigan, while Morez Johnson posted a double-double (12 points and 10 rebounds) and Yaxel Lendeborg scored 13 points on a bad ankle and a sprained MCL. In all, the Wolverines went 25 of 28 from the free throw line.
