Cereal honoring Patrick Mahomes hits shelves

Patrick Mahomes ate NFL defenses for lunch — and dinner — in his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting quarterback in 2018.

Now, you can have the former Texas Tech star at your breakfast table … kind of.

Chiefs Kingdom, did you hear the news?
Tomorrow, August 1st, is the official launch of the limited edition Mahomes Magic Crunch Cereal available exclusively at Hy-Vee while supplies last!

A cereal celebrating the Chiefs’ star QB hit the shelves at Hy-Vee stores on Thursday in Kansas City:

Mahomes Magic Crunch also will be available in select Hy-Vee stores in southern Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska until the cereal is sold out. Hy-Vee said it created the cereal with Mahomes’ charitable foundation (the 15 and Mahomies Foundation) and PLB Sports, Inc.

Hy-Vee said in a news release: “This limited-edition collector’s product is expected to raise $25,000 for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation. Those proceeds will be donated to help underserved children in the Kansas City and surrounding area.”

If Hy-Vee sounds familiar to NFL fans, it is because one of their stores was where Kurt Warner worked before going on to a career that wound up earning him a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

If you don’t have your Mahomes magic crunch then you don’t have the Mahomes mama’s magic!….. that’s all @PatrickMahomes #QBmagic pic.twitter.com/b9IJnGDb2k
