"Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins

Friday, October 10th, 2008 2:09PM CDT

The TRANSFORMERS brand looks to get itself tied into two foods that are a staple of many modern children's diets...Milk and M&M's! Okay, M&M's is more of a treat than a regular part of a diet, but still eaten by many kids around the world.

Milk is important for strong teeth and bones (like the commercials tell us), and it looks like Transformers characters are going to help sell milk, and milk will try to help sell Transformers brand to children when they drink it in the cafeteria. The New York Times reports that TRANSFORMERS brand characters will be lending their likenesses to milk cartons in a cafeterias near you.

And if that's not enough, THE NATIONAL CONVENIENCE STORE CONVENTION featured new products for taste testing. At the M&M's booth, there was an advertisement of a new M&M's flavor to be produced and sold to help promote TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN! The flavor is supposed to be strawberry/peanut butter, but apparently there were no samples of it, just an advertisement.

Looks like the hit that was the first Transformers movie, has spawned more cross promotional options for the second upcoming release. Expect more news on new promotions as the movie release gets closer.

Re: "Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins (809260) Posted by Mirage22 on October 10th, 2008 @ 3:07pm CDT Strawberry and Peanut Butter? That sounds disgusting! Yeah, that flavor is really gonna promote ROTF.

Re: "Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins (809449) Posted by darth_primal on October 10th, 2008 @ 6:09pm CDT At my school they only have Bulkhead and he looks like he's having a seizure!

Re: "Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins (809831) Posted by Auto Bot on October 11th, 2008 @ 4:06am CDT I hope they make sure there's no melamine in it. Autobots can drink melamine. Human should not. I'd probably buy them just for the sake of seeing a TF logo on the packaging.

Re: "Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins (816356) Posted by goldsparkles on October 18th, 2008 @ 9:28pm CDT the m&m's sound cool but then again i'm not big on them at all i still haven't seen any tf milk cartons yet all we have is football but it depends on if they mean plasic bottle shape or paper carton shape.

Re: "Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins (818478) Posted by Auto Bot on October 21st, 2008 @ 6:19am CDT Some of the M&M's will be repainted green. (Thanks to Hasbro) Those will be substitutes for Energon.

Re: "Drink Milk And Roll Out!"-- Transformers New Food Tie-Ins (818919) Posted by *Soundwave* on October 21st, 2008 @ 4:10pm CDT MY SCHOOL HAS THESE! Sitting at Lunch, my friend comes over after buying, sits down, says: "What are we 5?!?! Transformers?" It was normal milk, not chocolate/strawberry. Was blue and purple instead of the usuual yellow and white package. It has Bulkhead on the side, I took a pic w/my phone. Will post a.s.a.p.

So you use the cellphone "illegally"? The picture may be "illegal" too. I haven't seen the goodies yet. I'm looking around grocery stores to see if i can find them.
