The Kellogg’s Cereal Straws are returning by popular demand after spending more than a decade on store shelves, the company announced Thursday.
“Kellogg is responding to superfans’ petition and social media pleas to bring back his iconic Kellogg’s Cereal Straws,” Kellogg said in a release shared with the U.S. today. “After a 12-year hiatus, the nostalgia-inducing Kellogg’s Cereal Straws are being revived in two flavors: Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Kellogg’s Cocoa Krispies.”
The move by the food giant comes as a result of a 4-year petition created by Hannah Wade user of Change.org.
“Froot Loops cereal straws were discontinued in 2009,” Wade wrote in the description of the petition. “People around the world seem to be nostalgic for this delicious delicacy from our childhood. If we bring back fruit-strewn cereal straws, it will bring joy to my generation and generations to come.”

The petition had more than 81,000 signatures by Saturday afternoon – more than enough to get the business’ attention.
Kellogg’s Cereal Straws are available starting October with a suggested retail price of $ 1 for five straws, $ 3 for 18 straws and $ 5 for 24 straws.
