REMEMBER Dunk-A-Balls? They were Wheaties shaped like basketballs.
General Mills sold them during college basketball tournaments last March.
Well, it's gridiron time. And GM has introduced Quarterback Crunch, a football-shaped version available for a limited time. CHEERIOS SNACK
Also new from General Mills is Cheerios Snack Mix. It tastes remarkably like Doo Dads.
Original flavor contains Cheerios, whole-wheat squares, cheese crackers, pretzels and peanuts. The Cheddar cheese version includes all but the peanuts. A 8.5-ounce bag costs $1.99. MINI CAKES
When it comes to rice cakes, less is more.
So Quaker's new mini versions of its white Cheddar and butter popcorn flavor cakes ought to become very popular.
A 4-ounce bag costs $1.69. NO BULL: MORE BEEF
The latest issue of The Beef Brief, a cattle-industry newsletter, reports beef production was up 7 percent during the first half of 1994. That's good news for consumers who can expect lower prices in the grocery stores. by CNB
