Post Cereals channeling the 70s and 80s by putting soccer trading cards on cereal boxes starting in June.

Major League Soccer fans and grocery store shoppers alike will be able to get into the game in a big way from coast-to-coast this summer. Starting in June, limited edition MLS cereal boxes can be found at grocery stores nationwide, featuring collectible Topps® MLS player trading card cut-outs. In addition, more than 20 events will be held in grocery store parking lots across the country from June through August as Post serves as the Official Cereal of Major League Soccer. The tour will also make stops during the Schwan's Cup Youth Soccer Tournament in the Twin Cities and 2018 MLS All-Star Atlanta. Activities will range from a soccer kick activity, photo and temporary tattoo stations, a plinko game for prizes and cereal sampling including Honey Bunches of Oats®, Pebbles® Cereal, Honeycomb® and OREO® O's.
