Kellogg Co. and Cartoon Network in June will break an estimated $3 million to $4 million back-to-school blitz that puts Cartoon Network characters on and in 100 million packages.
The Kellogg's Toon Tour of Mysteries centers on a national sweepstakes that will award a grand-prize family trip to California and a Mazda MPV van tricked out to resemble the Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine.
Packages of Kellogg cereals and Keebler snacks carry game codes; players enter codes at Kellogg's www.EETandERN.com site, or enter the sweeps via AT&T Wireless text-messaging. Prizes include Dell computers, Dell DJ digital music players and Xbox game systems and games.
