Kellogg’s new Rice Krispies Shocking Orange Colored Cereal is hitting the supermarket shelves this August, according to a press release.
In the spirit of the spooky season, Kellogg’s is encouraging consumers to make the most of the new orange-colored cereal by creating fun and unique fall-themed treats.
