Cheerios? Yes. I love them plain, I love them with honey...I love the Very Berry and the Pumpkin Spice, and cinnamon apply crunchy... and now for a limited time, General Mills is going to be changing their name from Cheerios to Cheerioats. Now don't panic. Cheerioats are being created for a limited time to celebrate their 80th Anniversary, and Cheerioats was their original name back in 1941. The name was changed in 1945 to Cheerios. Who knew that? That's not the only thing that's happening.
