When I think of an easy and satisfying breakfast, cereal is usually one of the first things that comes to mind. Luckily for us cereal lovers, there’s an ever-growing array of options to peruse. From fruit-flavored Cheerios to protein-packed versions of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Honey Bunches of Oats, the possibilities are seemingly endless.
Paired with a splash of milk and some fresh fruit, it’s hard to imagine a more delicious way to start the day—especially when enjoyed in front of morning cartoons, just like we did as kids. Now, there’s yet another new cereal hitting grocery shelves inspired by a classic show that brings that nostalgia to life.

Our Saturday morning cartoons are about to get an upgrade. Kellogg’s is celebrating “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants” with a limited-edition cereal inspired by Kelpo, the fictional favorite from the iconic animated show.
If you’ve watched SpongeBob SquarePants, you’ve likely heard of Kelpo, a popular cereal in Bikini Bottom. Well, now’s your chance to give SpongeBob’s favorite breakfast a try, thanks to Kellogg’s.
Described as a sweetened corn cereal, Kelpo comes to life as golden corn puffs that are delightfully crispy. And the cereal packaging itself adds to the fun, with one side featuring a reimagined version of the Kelpo box from the show and the other depicting SpongeBob with his pet sea snail, Gary.
The limited-edition find is already making a great impression, according to reviews on Walmart’s site. One fan deemed the cereal, “A perfect breakfast item, especially for fans of SpongeBob. Highly recommend!”
Another SpongeBob lover also enjoyed it, sharing, “Very nostalgic. I am obsessed with SpongeBob, and this was absolutely amazing. It had a great taste and a nice, vibrant color. The flavor was like corn pops.”
Others commented on the subtle flavor, describing it as “not overly sugary or flavorful, reminds me of Kix from when we were kids. Corn flavor with a tiny bit of sweetness. Makes you feel good about actually having a bowl of cereal.”
The new cereal is certainly a fun nod to the show, while still being a practical breakfast choice. Whether you’re a diehard SpongeBob fan or a cereal aficionado, this first-of-its-kind offering is worth trying.
Each 13.3-ounce box retails for about $4.28, although the exact price may vary. You can find the Kellogg’s The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants Breakfast Cereal at Walmart, but it will only be around for a short time, so don’t wait to grab a box—or 999!
