A box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch (now renamed Cinnamon Grahams in the UK) is a breakfast cereal produced by General Mills. The cereal was first produced in 1984. CTC is rivals with Waffle Crisp. The cereal consists of small squares or rectangles of wheat and rice covered with cinnamon and sugar. Originally the cereal featured plain squares but currently features an artificial "cinnamon swirl" coloration in each piece. At one point there were three animated chefs as the mascots: Wendell, Bob and Quienno. In 1992, Bob and Quienno were dropped, and Wendell remained. He is currently still the mascot. The cereal aims to provide the taste of cinnamon toast in a bite-sized crunch. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
