With more than 100 million Americans having some form of heart disease, Cheerios understands how important heart health is. From helping to lower cholesterol as part of a heart healthy diet1 to providing a simple breakfast amidst busy morning routines, Honey Nut Cheerios cereal can be an easy and delicious part of your day, so you can focus on the things that mean the most – like family and friends who are a daily reminder of why we want to live a happy, healthy life.

To encourage heart-to-heart conversations with loved ones, real-life BFFs Leslie and Phyllis are sitting down over a bowl of Cheerios to help bring joy to a heart health journey and remind people why this topic is so important to talk about with your loved ones.

“Being on set with Phyllis felt like the good ol’ days — especially as we were able to get back to improv’ing as we used to do together – but this time with Buzz the Bee,” said Leslie David Baker on his role in the campaign. “I’ve loved Cheerios since I was a kid, and now I realize that Cheerios not only tastes good but it’s good for me. It’s one part of my heart health commitment for my family, friends and fans.”

"Leslie is so thoughtful and a joy to be around, so being able to work with him again while also working with Cheerios—my favorite cereal since I was a child—was a win-win situation, especially for a topic like heart health,” said Phyllis Smith on reuniting with Leslie. “Monitoring and maintaining your heart health is so important for you and your loved ones.”

Cheerios with limited-edition heart shapes are available now on shelves at major retailers nationwide for the fourth year in a row. This year, the limited-edition boxes each feature half of a heart, which form a whole when placed side-by-side—a visual reminder to help take care of your heart health together.

"It was amazing to bring Leslie back for his second year with our Cheerios Hearts campaign – but this time with his best friend Phyllis to help us showcase the importance of finding your ‘why’ with the relationships that matter the most to keep your heart healthy,” said Kathy Dixon, senior brand experience manager for Cheerios. “As Leslie and Phyllis reminded us so well throughout this campaign, with a little laughter and a lot of love, a heart health journey can be fun.”
