Houston cereal lovers, your morning routine is about to get a little easier, and you may finally be able to retire that bag clip.<\/p>\n

Cheerios is teaming up with Ziploc<\/a> to introduce new packaging designed to keep cereal fresh longer without the struggle of folding, rolling or clipping the bag shut.<\/p>\n

The new Cheerios with Ziploc PantrySeal features a resealable bag inside the traditional cereal box, giving cereal fans an easier way to pour a bowl and seal the bag back up when they\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

According to General Mills, the company receives hundreds of thousands of requests, comments and reactions each year from people asking for an easier way to reseal cereal packaging.<\/p>\n

And apparently, it\u2019s a common frustration: A company-cited survey found that 90% of cereal consumers take extra steps to help keep their cereal fresh, including folding the bag, using clips or transferring the cereal into another container.<\/p>\n

The new packaging isn\u2019t just about keeping cereal fresh. It\u2019s also designed to make pouring less messy.<\/p>\n

The resealable bag partially opens across the top to create a built-in pour spout, making it easier to get cereal into a bowl, cup or mug without sending O\u2019s bouncing across the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re done, the bag seals back up inside the box.<\/p>\n

The cereal itself isn\u2019t changing. The new packaging will be available for original Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios.<\/p>\n

Cheerios with Ziploc PantrySeal became available exclusively at Walmart.com on Oct. 27. General Mills says the products are expected to roll out to retailers nationwide in the coming months.<\/p>\n

The new packaging is being produced exclusively in Buffalo, New York, where Cheerios was first made in 1941.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019ve ever wrestled with a cereal bag that refuses to stay closed, this breakfast upgrade might be worth adding to your grocery list.<\/p>\n
