Cheerios Discontinues Beloved Flavor—And Customers Aren't Happy

Cheerios shelved a fan-favorite flavor angering cereal lovers in the process.

It all started when someone tweeted at the cereal brand asking if the maple flavor was discarded, the Cheerios account confirmed the sad news: "Yes, Maple Cheerios have been discontinued. We'll let our team know you're missing them!"

Upon hearing the news, many fans of the flavor replied to the tweet, asking for it to return.

"Maple Cheerios are THE BEST Cheerios! We Canadians love our 🍁 maple!!! Please bring back!!," someone wrote. Another shared, "I am so sad about Maple Cheerios. 🍁 I bought every box that I could find. And alas I am finally out. Please consider bringing it back. It was unique and delicious. Nothing remotely like it on the market."

When asked why it was discontinued, Cheerios responded on June 13, noting, "There are many reasons why we may discontinue a product. While we can't promise that we will bring it back, we will let our team know that you would like to see this return to the shelves. Thank you!"

A Cheerios fan also asked for the return of another flavor: "I want them to bring back peach Cheerios. They tasted just like a fresh peach. They were the best and I miss them and want them back again. Thank you."

The Maple Cheerios became a beloved flavor because it was a health-conscious option while still embracing that delicious, sugary maple syrup taste. Although the Maple Cheerios were taken off the market, Cheerios recently introduced three new flavors that sound just as delicious: Frosted Lemon, Vanilla Spice, and Oat Crunch Berry.
