There’s a new way to get your fill of the Golden Girls. The popular TV show that debuted three decades ago and ran for seven seasons has been turned into a breakfast cereal called, of course, Golden Girls. The limited-edition cereal, made by Funko and sold only at select Target stores, is flying off the shelves (even at $7.99 a box). It’s gotten to the point where boxes are showing up on eBay with starting bids between $10 and $25, with one box selling for more than $30. The multigrain cereal is blue and shaped like O’s. Also, each box comes with a prize—a collectible figurine of one of the Golden Girls.
Before they decided to call it simply “Golden Girls” Cereal, they kicked around a few other names. It just so happens that I have the list of finalists:
-
Gray Nuts
-
Crone Flakes
-
Bits ‘o Betty White
-
Elder Berry
-
Geriat-Trix
-
End of Life
-
Nutri-Gran
-
Senior Smacks
-
Feeling Your Oats
