Mario Lopez said in General Mills Press Release: “Cereal plus cartoons defined my Saturday mornings as a kid, so I’m thrilled to team up with General Mills for a little throwback event everyone can enjoy. I can’t wait to join fans with my family for the Ultimate Saturday Morning Drive-In from my own couch with a bowl – or two – of cereal in tow.”

Some of my best memories as a kid were sitting right on the floor in front of the TV with a heaping bowl of cereal watching cartoons as I promised my mom I would not spill on the floor. It's so weird how kids in general back in the day had to sit right on top of the television set. But I guess kids now do the same thing with their smart phones or tablets while eating their cereal.
