When I first saw this, i thought “I didn’t know the cereals came in drink form too”. Cheerio was a household favorite for a while in my home but the only form i know of is Cheerio the cereal, not Cheerio the drink.

Anyway, the similarities that these two share is uncanny in a way. Cheerios comes in a variety of color and this Japanese drink, Cheerio comes in a multitude of colors as well. The drink comes in multiple flavors, and was introduced in 1963. The drinks used to be sold in glass bottles, similar to those used for Ramune. In recent years, with the proliferation of steel and aluminum cans and PET bottles, Cheerio (grape and orange only) in glass bottles is only available in the Chūbu region south of Tokyo, as well as three vending units in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Has any of you tried Cheerio, the drink before?
