And here I thought the biggest news coming fromMarvel Rivalsthis week would be the new game mode that’s got everyone’s heads in the clouds. Joke’s on me, I guess; it looks likeMarvel Rivalsfans are hellbent on making their favorite hero-shooter part of their complete breakfast.

That’s right.Marvel Rivalsplayers are hunting for boxes of Frosted Flakes bearing the likeness of their favorite Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists. Unfortunately, the news I’ve got to share with breakfast-lovingMarvel Rivalsplayers is less-than-gr-r-eat: we’ve been downright bamboozled. That’s right: the cereal’s a lie.

Marvel Rivals Frosted Flakes are the toast of TikTok

If you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering how we got here. Whispers that WK Kellogg Co is partnering withMarvel Rivalsstarted, as they often do, on TikTok after a funny little video started making the rounds yesterday.

The video, posted by TikTok user @bakudekumochi, is honestly pretty funny. Accompanied by the caption “My mom said she got me new cereal,” the video shows someone (@bakudekumochi themself, if I had to guess) opening their kitchen cabinet and finding boxes of Frosted Flakes branded with the likenesses of Invisible Woman,Emma Frost, and Jeff the Land Shark. I sure hope those are tears of joy in the video.

Are Marvel-Rivals-themed Frosted Flakes really on a store shelf near you?

I’ve got to admit, this had me fooled for a bit. I knew it was probably too good to be true, but breakfast cereal brands have never been averse to slapping mascots from the hottest films, television shows, or video games onto the faces of their boxes, so I was hopeful. Sadly, it looks like it’s all jabs.

I looked around but couldn’t find any proof thatMarvel Rivals-themed Frosted Flakes have blessed this green Earth with their presence. I even stopped by a few of my local grocery stores to check. Unfortunately, my efforts turned up Fruit Loops-less. So much for finding out how many box-tops I need to mail in to geta twerking Venom action figure.

Luckily, this is still a fantastic week to be aMarvel Rivalsplayer.The new Giant-Size Brain Blastmode is coming on Friday, and it looks primed to send us all back to a simpler age of gaming with some old-school big-headed-model action. There’s also plenty of time left to grabMantis’ Flora Miden outfit, theSeason 2 Twitch drops, andall the Hellfire Gala skins, so there’s no point crying over spilled milk.
