Kellogg and The Powerpuff Girls Power-Up Pop-Tarts

The Powerpuff Girls will be popping up in toasters across America as Kellogg partners with Cartoon Network to launch new Kellogg's® The Powerpuff Girls(TM) Pop-Tarts® toaster pastries.

Kellogg's® The Powerpuff Girls(TM) Pop-Tarts® toaster pastries contain POWBERRY filling with lavender icing topped with The Powerpuff Girl sprinkles -- in Buttercup green, Bubbles blue, Blossom pink and Powerburst yellow -- just what kids need to power up their day!

``Kellogg is glad this crime-fighting trio is on our side to help ensure kids have a wholesome, fun breakfast,'' said Kim Miller, director of marketing for Pop-Tarts®. ``Kellogg continues to bring excitement to morning foods by bringing these popular cartoon characters to breakfast tables everywhere.''

Kellogg's The Powerpuff Girls Pop-Tarts® marks the second time the crime-fighting girls have been featured on a Kellogg's product box. Earlier this year, Kellogg introduced The Powerpuff Girls cereal that featured power-packed rice clusters with popping candy that fizz when eaten.

The Powerpuff Girls, which debuted on Cartoon Network in November 1998, follows the adventures of three super-powered sisters, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, who frequently ask to be excused from school so they can save the world.

The limited edition The Powerpuff Girls Pop-Tarts® will be available in grocery stores nationwide while supplies last. The suggested retail price is $2.49 for a 14.7-ounce box. The larger boxes of The Powerpuff Girls Pop-Tarts®, 12-count packages, will contain Cartoon Network locker magnets for kids to collect.
