The Wheaties cereal box has been graced with American athletes since 1934, when baseball great Lou Gehrig was bestowed the honor. Over the years, esteemed athletes such as Bruce Jenner, Mary Lou Retton, Michael Jordan, Chris Evert and Andre Agassi have had their turns promoting the breakfast cereal. You too can have your photo featured on the front of a Wheaties box, even if you’ve not won Olympic gold or been a superstar athlete.
Personalized Box
For a small fee, General Mills, the manufacturer of Wheaties, has made it possible to personalize a box of Wheaties for a small fee.

The photo can be of your choice and may include a simple head shot, for example, or an action shot taken while playing your favorite sport.
Add-Ons
Your personalized Wheaties box image can also be printed on a variety of other items, provided by General Mills for a fee. The fee varies per item. Examples include a coffee mug, travel mug, acrylic case with keychain and a water bottle
