Apple Jacks

Apple Jacks is a brand of breakfast cereal produced by Kellogg's. Introduced to the U.S. market in 1965, the cereal has been a popular choice among children and adults alike for its unique apple and cinnamon flavor.

History

The cereal was first introduced in the United States in 1965. Originally, Apple Jacks was marketed as "Apple O's" to reflect its circular shape and apple flavor. However, the name was changed to "Apple Jacks" in 1971 to better represent the cereal's unique combination of apple and cinnamon flavors.

Product Description

Apple Jacks is a multi-grain cereal that is flavored with apple and cinnamon. The cereal pieces are ring-shaped (similar to Cheerios) and have a crunchy texture. Each piece is coated with a sweet apple and cinnamon flavoring. The cereal is often eaten with milk, but can also be enjoyed straight from the box as a snack.

Marketing and Advertising

Over the years, Apple Jacks has been known for its memorable marketing campaigns. The cereal's mascots, CinnaMon and Bad Apple, are often featured in television commercials and on the cereal box. These characters represent the two main flavors of the cereal: apple and cinnamon.
