While some may have come up with a giveaway in boxes, others went big by having their own cereal connected to the movie or TV show title.

Deep Space Radio Signal Just Reached Earth, But Who Sent It?

In what one industry website calls an \"astonishing discovery,\" a deep space radio signal has reached Earth after 8 billion years. Earth.com says the \"mysterious and powerful burst or radio waves\" spent billions of years traveling before reaching Earth. The website believe it is one of the most powerful radio signals ever captured due to its distance and energy.
