Now, General Mills has another fun cereal coming: Minions Vanilla Cake Cereal is coming to store shelves soon and while it's a surprise that the cereal isn't banana-flavored, breakfast fans are sure to be pretty excited for this latest offering that will pair sweetened corn cereal with marshmallows for a tasty treat.

No date was offered as to when Minions Vanilla Cake cereal will hit store shelves. With the tie in to Minions: The Rise of Gru, it's likely that it was intended coincide with the film's original July 3rd release date. However, with the coronavirus pandemic shaking up every aspect of life, including the entertainment industry, the film's release date has been pushed back to July 2, 2021.
