100US$ MILLION:
Michael Phelps Kellogg’s Corn Flakes Cereal Box
— FIRST LOOK
Check out the prototype Kellogg’s Corn Flakes cereal box cover featuring ace swimmer Michael Phelps, the winningest Olympian of all time.
Let’s hope they switch it up for the real deal–that hand looks terribly Photoshopp-ed. But at least he’s starting to cash in on his $100 million dollar endorsement deals!
”[There will be] no Wheaties box this time around; it’s going to be Kellogg’s,” Phelps‘ longtime agent Peter Carlisle revealed to Access Hollywood.
No Wheaties box but Phelps, who scored a record-breaking eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, will appear on special edition cereal boxes this fall for both Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes.
