No Wheaties for Phelps; Superstar to Appear on Frosted Flakes

Swimming superstar Michael Phelps will soon be appearing on a lot of cereal boxes.


Kellogg Co. announced Tuesday that the winner of eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics will be featured on upcoming boxes of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and Kellogg's Corn Flakes.


The boxes are expected in stores by mid-September.


Battle Creek-based Kellogg says the images of Phelps that will be used on the cereal boxes will highlight some of the most memorable moments of the Games.


The 23-year-old athlete is a Baltimore native who has lived and trained in Ann Arbor in recent years as part of the University of Michigan-linked Club Wolverine.
