America's favorite cereal brand abruptly axes three beloved flavors leaving fans dismayed

Daily Mail​21 hours ago

Cereal fans are mourning the loss of several Cheerios products after General Mills quietly discontinued them.
Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios, and 18-ounce boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios Minis have all been axed.
General Mills didn't offer a specific reason for the cuts,, but told ABC News that it could be for reasons 'ranging from insufficient consumer demand to ingredients no longer available or other supply chain constraints.'
Cereal enthusiast Kayla Simonsen leaked the news on Instagram earlier this month, leaving Cheerio fans heartbroken.
'I'm so sad chocolate peanut butter cheerios were my favorite. It's always sold out or low stock at the stores I buy it from,' an Instagrammer commented on the post.
'Loved the medley crunch! What a bummer! I already can't find them anywhere,' another shopper claimed.
General Mills offers over 20 different flavors and made headlines in 2023 for pulling its Maple Cheerios off store shelves.
Cheerios competes with other cereals like Honey Bunches of Oats, which was part of a recent recall over fears of metal in the food.
Social media users were mainly saddened over the loss of the chocolate peanut butter cereal, which launched in 2017.
'Of the three, it baffles me the most that Cheerios would discontinue the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios,' Simonsen wrote.
A few others called it their 'favorite flavor' and claimed they hadn't seen it in stores for a while.
The Honey Nut Cheerios Medley was also a talked-about product that was introduced in 2013.
While Instagram users are mourning over the 'tragic' medley loss, fans had already been grieving on X after Cheerios confirmed the flavor was discontinued in March.
The Honey Nut Cheerios Minis began flying off shelves after they were announced as a new addition last year.
Multiple users were disappointed over the brand's decision to discontinue the 18-ounce packages since the treats were 'baking favorites.'
However, unlike the other two flavors, General Mills is not axing this one completely and will keep offering 10.8-ounce packages of the minis.

Cheerios were not the only breakfast food shoppers were forced to say goodbye to.
Post Consumer Brands discontinued the longtime Oreo O's cereal to make room for Oreo Puffs, a similar cereal offering.
General Mills brought back its Frosted Lemon Cheerios, which are available for a limited time.
The manufacturer is also keeping up with fans and keeping an eye on what Cheerio flavors they're looking for.
'Much like Frosted Lemon Cheerios, which returned by popular demand, we continue to listen to our fans as we evolve our offerings,' the company told DailyMail.com.
Some of the flavors that social media users have been asking for lately include blueberry, cinnamon, and banana caramel.
