As the country prepares for America's 250th birthday celebrations this summer, several major food companies are getting in on the party by releasing limited-edition, patriotic-themed products.
Cheerios, Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew and Oreo are among the iconic, all-American brands teasing special items to commemorate the country's semiquincentennial anniversary, Allrecipes.com reported.
Cheerios will release a birthday cake-flavored cereal, set to hit shelves in a commemorative red, white and blue box in early summer.
The new cereal "tastes like vanilla cake and features red, white and blue sprinkles, which are not made with artificial coloring as part of the brand's initiative to remove all FD&C [food, drug & cosmetic] dyes from cereals by this summer," Allrecipes reported.
