General Mills Teams Up With Nickelodeon’s The Penguins of Madagascar

There have been penguins flying through my home lately.  Nickelodeon’s The Penguins of Madagascar partnered up with General Mills to be part of the family favorite cereal, Trix.  Inside specially marked boxes of General Mills cereals, you´ll “commence operations” with one of five characters from The Penguins of Madagascar; Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private or King Julien. Each participating cereal contains one character launcher with mission details outlined on the back of the box including:

Dive In, Soldier – Set an empty plastic cereal bowl on the table and try to pop your launcher into it. Wear a helmet or you´ll be squid bait.

Longest Propulsion Launcher – Challenge your troops to see who can launch their character the furthest. Go long or go back to the zoo.

Target Practice – Create a landing zone with a spoon and try to strategically drop your character into the sweet spot. Hit the target or go back to the drawing board.

Clear the Wall – Do you have enough projectile pop to push your launcher over the top of the box? Proceed launchin´ troops, earn those wings!

Each character is unique and has their own specific role, and together, they´re a team with lots of adventures.  Noah, Gab and I have been launching these penguins all around the house.  We have so much fun seeing who can complete each mission successfully.  Of course we finish eating our Trix cereal first and absolutely LOVE the new swirls in the cereal.  It’s Noah’s favorite!  Madagascar is a family favorite around my house as well.  Gabby has the Madagascar Wii game, the Madagascar Karts Wii game and we have both movies.  The new Penguins of Madagascar movie, The Penguins of Madagascar Operation: DVD Premier is another good one.  I even laugh at the Penguins.

  33. We love them all, but Skipper and Rico are certainly our favorite. Skipper is just so cute and innocent while Rico has this mysterious quality about him. We enjoy Trix cereal in this household.

    As for cereal, we are split…half like Golden Grahams and half like Trix. 🙂
