Wheaties are no longer the "Breakfast of Champions", or, at least the Buffalo Bills. Terrell Owens' brand new breakfast cereal, "T.O.’s Honey Toasted Oats" debuts and is flying off the shelves before it even arrives.
Ty Ballou, president and CEO of the cereal's producer, PLB Sports, tells NEWSWEEK: "By next week, the initial wave—we have two truckloads—will be gone."
Football diva slash reality sporno star Terrell Owens says he has never been happier. "Noting he’s never had a food named after him, Owens said having 'this beautiful handsome face' on the cover is better than making it on a box of Wheaties."
The "handsome face" is aiight but you can't help but wonder if another photo would sell even more boxes of Owen's, umm, "honey nut" toasted oats. AFTER THE JUMP, VH1's nude portraits of the football star. And what does T.O.’s Honey Toasted Oats' taste like? Well if it tastes anything like the way he is built ...as Tony the Tiger says, "Mmm tastes great!"
T.O.'s "Honey Nuts", huh...you know, what? I'm not even gonna do it. He is really asking for it with this one but I'm not gonna do it. I'm not! I'm gonna take the high road, for a change.

Actually, the cereal box does have a nice picture of the fool...with his toasted nuts (which I'm sure are delicious).

@Osiris
You don't have to do it, TO already did it wih his honey nuts.
I was talking with a (presumably?) straight male buddy about divas in the NFL Of course, Braylon's name came up (now I would like a taste of Braylon's honey nuts, to be sure) but he said that TO "put the D in diva.
Not that I would turn down a taste of TOs toasted honey nuts, mind you.

I just noticed that the box says "Low Fat Food".
So TO's honey nuts tastes great and are less filling. Damn!

Between seeing Dhani Jones and Stephon Marbury (shirtless and in loose fitting shorts exotic dancing on his streamcast) and T.O. I am in heaven.

If TO is ever in search of something part-time, I think I have an opening he can fill. I'm sure I do.
