As in a tie-in with the Will Ferrell movie. That's not the odd thing, the odd thing is that the box has no photos of Will Ferrell anywhere, even the pics of Buddy on the back are drawings. Was this something involving royalties for Will's image?

Yeah probably a likeness rights thing.

Remember the Mandalorian cereal?
Basically the same thing.
Same as I think the Ghostbusters: Afterlife cereal. Maybe other brands.
They dropped the ball not recycling it for Pac-Man though...as the sweet puffs + marshmallows = the 80s cereal. Unfortunately, Pac only got...the Funko loops cereal.

I don't really want to eat elf flavored cereal.

So if I put this cereal up in my cupboard, would that count as me having...Elf On A Shelf?

Yeah, it's a way around likeness rights... also since Elf is also a Musical could tie into that too...

It's probably likeness rights, I mean, like 100% why, but my pet idea is people don't wanna see Will Ferrell as they attempt to eat, but if you're dumb enough to buy a product of his, you get what you deserve.

Do you eat this cereal with maple syrup instead of milk and with a full cup of powdered sugar on top?

This was what I meant with the whole "Is Elf the last new enduring Christmas movie", especially as it feels more merchandised with each new year.
There's also Elf Pillsbury Cookies

Speaking of elves with cereal… there’s an Elf on the Shelf cereal.

They did they same thing with some Pillsbury cookies, but the lack of Will Ferrell made me think someone was making knockoffs and not a likeness issue(I thought we were finally past these things. Guess not).

If they really want to sell me stuff with elves on it, put Zooey Deschannel on the package.
