Michael Phelps Said ‘NO’ to Wheaties

Here’s Olympic Gold Medal winner Michael Phelps on the new box of Corn Flakes. He will also be on the box for Frosted Flakes in September — he said that Frosted Flakes is his favorite cereal.

This has apparently angered a few nutritionists, who happen to be fans of Wheaties.

They say Frosted Flakes has three times the sugar as Wheaties and only a third of the fiber, neither of which help the fight against childhood obesity. They think he should be on the cover of a Wheaties box instead.

Obviously Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes offered Phelps more money — put up or shut up. Heh!

What others said:

E! Online says, “They have a point. We definitely ate more Frosted Flakes than Wheaties growing up, and look where we are—blogging.”

Dlisted says, “Since Michael Phelps shaves his pits, does that mean he waxes his dolphin fin area too?”

Bravo to Phelps! Most people will endorse products they don’t like for the money. I’m soooo sick of people talking about cereals when cereals aren’t all obese people eat.
