"Sometimes the best new innovation is the smallest one," said Mindy Murray, Sr. Marketing Communications Manager at General Mills. "There's such a love right now for full-size things that have been shrunk into mini versions, and we realized we could do the same with our cereals. We can't wait for families to try the cutest new way to experience their favorites one BIG (little) bite at a time."

Minis will be available at select retailers nationwide this fall for $3.99 in full-sized boxes, which means more cereal in your bowl, more cereal on your spoon and more cereal in your mouth with every bite.
