Shay Trotter reports:
Since the debut of Cheerios in 1941, originally as “Cheerioats” to offer the masses a ready-to-eat oat cereal, dozens of varieties of the classic breakfast brand have hit grocery store shelves. Though some (like Peach Cheerios and Toasted Coconut Cheerios) were intended to just be limited editions, others have gone on to be lasting favorites. Unfortunately, even some flavors that have been a big hit with customers over the years haven’t stuck around in stores. That’s the case now with three popular varieties that will no longer be available. Keep reading to learn what Cheerios flavors have been recently discontinued and what similar cereal options are available.
And the ax fall on...
  1. Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Oat Crunch
  2. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios
  3. Honey Nut Cheerios Minis
