From: Kellogg's
Introduced in 2000 Kellogg's issued the following press release to announce Pokemon cereal on March 13, 2000: Kellogg to Launch First Pokemon Cereal This Spring; Kellogg Lets Kids Have Their Pokemon and Eat It, Too Kellogg's brings Poke-mania to supermarket shelves this spring with the introduction of a limited-edition cereal, based on Nintendo's popular Pokemon franchise. The new cereal sets the stage for Kellogg Co.'s largest ever cross-category summer promotion that spans over 15 Kellogg's brands offering high-value Pokemon premiums. Scheduled to be on shelves this May, Kellogg's Pokemon Toasted Oat Cereal With Marshmallow Bits is the first and only Pokemon cereal. The cereal contains oat-based rings with four different Pokemon character-shaped marshmallows: blue Poliwhirl, yellow Pikachu, pink Ditto, and green Oddish. Fortified with 12 vitamins and minerals, Kellogg's Pokemon Toasted Oat Cereal With Marshmallow Bits will retail at an average price of $2.49 for a 13.2-ounce package. With a bright blue package that prominently features the Pokemon characters and embossed foil lettering, Kellogg's Pokemon Toasted Oat Cereal With Marshmallow Bits will jump off the store shelves and make a bold statement with kids and moms. "Kellogg's Pokemon cereal is the latest example of our commitment to bring fun back to the cereal aisle and offers kids a unique way to catch Pokemon fever," said Paul Norman, vice president of marketing for ready-to-eat cereal, Kellogg USA. The Pokemon phenomenon kicked off in the United States in September 1998 and is currently a seven billion-dollar business worldwide, with the number-one rated kids' show and video games. Poke-mania continues in 2000 with the introduction of dozens of new Pokemon characters, the new Gold and Silver Game Boy games, and a summer 2000 sequel to Warner Bros.' Pokemon: The First Movie. "Through this integrated marketing campaign, Kellogg's creates the ultimate 'Pokemon experience,' and allows kids to participate in the Pokemon phenomenon in a new way," said Kevin Smith, vice president, consumer promotions, Kellogg USA. Marketing support for the cereal launch includes a print and television advertising campaign, developed by Leo Burnett of Chicago, that will break in June, and eye-catching point-of-sale materials.
