The classic dessert company has partnered with Kellogg's to launch "Oatmeal Creme Pie Cereal" in a move meant to honor the snack cake brand's 60th anniversary. 
Over the weekend, rumors swirled about the cereal-snack mashup after the Instagram account @CandyHunting posted an image seemingly depicting what the box looks like. Little Debbie confirmed the news on its Facebook and Instagram page on Tuesday. 
"Yes, that's right there will be Oatmeal Creme Pies cereal!" the brand posted on Facebook along with a photo of the box of cereal. The company also stamped the photo with a label saying, "The rumors are true."

Kellogg's late December 2020 press release is predictable over the top.
