"We're so proud of Meryl and Charlie - their great start together on an ice rink in Michigan has truly led to great things," said Noel Geoffroy, senior vice president, Marketing & Innovation for Kellogg U.S. Morning Foods. "Over the course of the last few days, we have all watched Meryl and Charlie wow the world with their incredible ice dancing prowess.

"Charlie and I have finally reached our goal of winning a gold medal for Team USA," said Davis. "Kellogg's was always part of my childhood, so it's exciting to be pictured on a Kellogg's box. It's such an awesome reminder of what we've achieved thanks to our great starts."
"Our great start helped us reach our full potential, and this gold medal represents everything we've worked for," said White. "Meryl and I are proud to have brought home a win for our country and Team Kellogg's, and to see our faces on the front of a Corn Flakes box is just surreal."
