Golden Girls lives on at the breakfast table! Despite going off the air in 1992, the now iconic sitcom remains popular, which is why it continues to spawn merchandise that includes everything from a cookbook to Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia and Rose decorated backpacks.
Diehard GG fans will be happy to know that it is now possible to start the day with help from four of Miami’s most tenacious broads thanks to a new Golden Girls cereal that has begun rolling out at Target stores across the country, where it is exclusively sold.
All four cast members are featured on the box, according to Delish, and look like animated, slightly angry versions of the characters seen on the small screen.
The cereal itself, which is multigrain and described as a “tasty treat” that’s “fun to eat,” is not golden, but instead is a bright blue hue. Though there’s no explanation for the vibrant color. It could be a reference to a line in the Golden Girl theme song, which says, “Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.”
The product, which is produced by Funko — a retailer known for creating interesting pop culture products — also features a maze on the back of the cereal box along with a note explaining why such a food exists. “Hey Kids, remember what it was like to sit in front of the TV on Saturday morning and watch cartoons while eating your favorite cereal?! Well, Funko does!” the note begins. “So we’re bringing back Saturday morning to kids of all ages with our new sugar toasted FunkO’s!”
As if the box and cereal itself weren’t enough, the breakfast food also comes with a collectable toy of one of the four Golden Girls characters inside, which might help justify the $8 price tag. As one excited Twitter user exclaimed, “Somebody tell me I don’t need this $8 box of Golden Girls cereal from Target.”
