After much anticipation, Future Hall-Of-Famer Nick Punto called a press conference yesterday to announce his partnership with Kellogg's in the creation of his own breakfast cereal "Yankee O's" that will be marketed with the tagline, "Just like Nick, you too can eat Yankees for breakfast."
A sample of the product was then distributed among the press present. The box features a smiling headshot of Punto, mouth agape, about to chomp down on a spoonful of miniature Curtis Grandersons, Mark Teixieras, Derek Jeters, and A-Rods, all screaming in horror.
The cereal itself features a similar design, the compressed oats made to look like the screaming heads of past and former Yankees, but the real highlight of the product is the mini plastic Nick Punto action figure as the prize at the bottom of each box. When a button on the back of the Punto figurine is pressed, his right foot stomps down to the floor. Put a Yankee-head piece of cereal underneath this foot, and "You've got hours and hours of Yankee-stomping fun!"
