ago<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I know about some of the Overwatch characters.\u00a0 I know there\u2019s one named Tracer and one who has pink hair, and I think there\u2019s a gorilla.\u00a0 But while the characters are pretty interesting, the gameplay just isn\u2019t my cup of tea.\u00a0 The character featured on the Overwatch cereal is Lucio.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know who that is or how popular he is or why he\u2019s on the box.\u00a0 But I guess Lucio-Oh\u2019s sounded better than Tracer-O\u2019s.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to guess that Lucio is some kind of DJ?\u00a0 Anyway, here\u2019s a bigger

on how to get your free Loot Box for the Overwatch game.\u00a0 Just make sure you save your receipt from when you bought the cereal at the grocery store, as you\u2019ll need it!\u00a0 I think it&#8217;s funny that they put the game rating on the side of the box, too.\u00a0 Makes it look like the cereal is rated T for Teen.\u00a0 Remember when cereals had actual prizes in the boxes?\u00a0 I
