This week in the cereal aisle: Team Cheerios is back

According to Mr. Breakfast
This cereal was originally called Team USA Cheerios when it was introduced in 1996 as a limited edition tie-in with the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA. The name was changed in 1997 and the cereal was relaunched.

No mention of the Olympics on this limited edition.


From 1997.  You won't find much diversity here.
