Introducing Kellogg’s Minecraft Creeper Crunch Cereal; a tasty, cinnamon-flavored cereal featuring green square-shaped ‘Creeper Bit’ marshmallows that delivers the vibrant world of Minecraft.” (Posted on Gaming Trend).
There is a good reason whyMinecrafthas been inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. With 11 years of great updated and millions of players, not to mention the tons of merch,Minecraftis a gold mine (or a diamond mine?) for all manner of products and gimmicks.
