The popular mobile game Clash of Clans is celebrating its 10th anniversary and General Mills is marking the occasion with a special Barb’s Choco Boom Booms Clash Of Clans Cereal.
To create the new cereal, General Mills teamed up with Clash of Clans to create Barb’s Choco Boom Booms cereal – which is a cult classic cereal based on the 90s racing game “Clash Dash.” For those unfamiliar, Clash Dash is a Clashiversary racing game – a game that takes players through what it would have been like if Clash of Clans had launched back in the 1980s (instead of when it was actually released).
The new Barb’s Choco Boom Booms feature chocolatey-flavored frosted corn puffs cereal pieces and are available exclusively from Walmart.com (however, it has reportedly already sold out completely).
