Eggo Cereal was a breakfast cereal product that was introduced in the United States in 2006. It was produced by the Kellogg Company and was based on the popular Eggo brand of frozen waffles. The cereal was marketed as a convenient and delicious way to enjoy the taste of Eggo waffles in a bowl.

Eggo Cereal was launched in 2006 as a spin-off product of the Eggo brand. The cereal featured small, waffle-shaped pieces that were flavored to taste like Eggo waffles. It quickly gained popularity among breakfast cereal enthusiasts and fans of the Eggo brand.

However, despite its initial success, Eggo Cereal was discontinued in 2012. The exact reasons for its discontinuation are unclear, but it is believed that declining sales and changing consumer preferences played a role in the decision.
