Phelps And Kellogg's Live On

Our Darren Rovell has been all over the decision by Kellogg's [K  Loading...      ()   ] to not renew a contract with Olympian Michael Phelps, a contract which put the swimmer's face on boxes of Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes.

That deal went flaky after Phelps was caught apparently using a bong. As Darren has reported, at least some of the current cereal boxes have been removed from store shelves and sent to a food bank.

But that doesn't mean you can't find your own box of Phelps Flakes. Once again, they're being sold on eBay [EBAY  Loading...      ()   ] as collector's items.

Here's one box of Corn Flakes which can be yours for $29.99, about ten times more than it'll cost in the store. An added bonus, the box is "unopened". Nice.
