A box of Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Cheerios is a brand of breakfast cereal created on June 19, 1941 and marketed by the General Mills cereal company of Golden Valley, Minnesota, as the first oat-based, ready-to-eat cold cereal. It was called Cheeri Oats at first, later changed to Cheerios because of a trade name dispute.^[1] In some other countries, including the UK, it is sold by Cereal Partners under the Nestlé brand. In 2007, Procter & Gamble's Pampers Baby-Dry brand teamed with General Mills' Cheerios brand to be together for bright mornings. In 2008, Cheerios released a line of Snack Mix, in Original and Cheese flavors.
