Penguins of Madagascar Giveaway!

SUMMER IS IN SESSION! Along with family vacations and trips to the zoo, General Mills is teaming up with Nickelodeon´s The Penguins of Madagascar to bring the action-packed adventures of summer to your very own breakfast table.

Inside specially marked boxes of General Mills cereals, you´ll “commence operations” with one of five characters from The Penguins of Madagascar; Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private or King Julien. Each participating cereal contains one character launcher with mission details outlined on the back of the box including:

  • Dive In, Soldier – Set an empty plastic cereal bowl on the table and try to pop your launcher into it. Wear a helmet or you´ll be squid bait.
  • Longest Propulsion Launcher – Challenge your troops to see who can launch their character the furthest. Go long or go back to the zoo.
  • Target Practice – Create a landing zone with a spoon and try to strategically drop your character into the sweet spot. Hit the target or go back to the drawing board.
  • Clear the Wall – Do you have enough projectile pop to push your launcher over the top of the box? Proceed launchin´ troops, earn those wings!
  • Each character is unique and has their own specific role, and together, they´re a team with lots of character. With five character launchers to collect, make a splash this summer and try to successfully complete all of their missions.

    We received this Family Fun pack of toys, DVD and cereal. We were so excited that it happened to be Trix, one of the only cereals that Chewy isn’t allergic to! :) Cartman was so excited that he opened up all the little penguin toys and then had me make popcorn and He and the other boys settled in for a Penguins Marathon with the DVD! They LOVED it! Our favorite Penguin is Rico. ;) “Ka-boom?”

    You can win a prize pack for your family! It’s easy to enter! Simply leave a comment below with your favorite Penguin and a catch phrase of his. Contest will end on Wednesday, July 28th at 11:59pm MST. Winner will be chosen by random.org.

    Disclosure: General Mills and Nickelodeon provided my with the prize pack, information, and additional prize pack through MyBlogSparkTM. No monetary exchange was made.

    1. Skipper saying, “Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.”

    2. I’m like Joanna. Skipper and his “My monochromatic friend.” – funny

    3. Rico!

    4. Rico is ours too! “Ka-boom?”

    5. AJ loves al of them simply because they are penguins and he’s a penguin fanatic. I think the kids’ overall favorite is Skipper and “Cute and Cuddly, Boys.”

    6. King Julien is our fav, but he’s not a penguin. My son loves it when he says “de feet”. lol

    7. Skipper: My monochromatic friend.

      I just love the why they use the word monochromatic.

    8. All the penguins are hilarious! But I have no idea what any of the catch phrases are. That requires thinking. ;)
