There is something truly remarkable about the Olympics. \u00a0The athletes who have trained for years to showcase their talent in a world wide competition. \u00a0It is a chance for countries to teach the world about their country and for kids around the world to dream of stepping on top of the podium and hear their national anthem. \u00a0The emotion of the Olympics gets me every time. \u00a0From the stunning montages to the heartbreaking mistakes and the moments of pure pride and joy, each and every one of them brings a tear to my eye. \u00a0While Canadians are often humble and not known as overtly patriotic the Olympics brings us together with our friends, family and co-workers to celebrate all things Canadian. This Olympics, General Mills has created the ultimate in Team Canada Olympic interaction, a series of Augmented Reality boxes!<\/p>\n

Augmented Reality Boxes include:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"team<\/a><\/p>\n

You can learn all about the Team Canada athletes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"team<\/a>Take your photo with your favourites:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"team<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the Blippar App<\/a> (available for Apple<\/a> and Android <\/a>devices) you can interact with the athletes in a variety of ways. \u00a0From finding out their bio, taking photos and playing Olympic themed games, your General Mills boxes come alive like you’ve never seen them before. \u00a0My boys loved this app and we played with the boxes for hours. \u00a0Taking photos, playing games and finding out about the athletes we will be cheering on in a few short weeks. \u00a0My boys ask specifically for the cereal with the hockey player on it :) \u00a0It is so exciting to teach the boys about the Olympics and the support of General Mills<\/a> for our Olympic team. \u00a0Without the support of companies like General Mills many of Canada’s top athletes may never have the opportunity to compete.<\/p>\n

Looking to try out the #CheerForGold Augmented Reality experience? \u00a0Look for it on specially marked boxes of\u00a0Cheerios*\u00a0Cereals, Oatmeal Crisp*\u00a0Cereals, Lucky Charms*, Cinnamon Toast Crunch*, Reese\u00ae Puffs, Nature Valley*, Gushers* and Fruit by the Foot* and let the athletes come to life in front of your eyes!<\/p>\n

How will our family be cheering on Team Canada? \u00a0We will be watching as many live events as we can, but our PVR will definitely be set to ensure that our boys don’t miss a minute of the Olympic action! \u00a0Plus, we will be following Team Canada and it’s athletes on social media. \u00a0The countdown is on!<\/p>\n
