When it comes to making headlines, Angel Reese knows how to slam dunk—both on and off the court. The Chicago Sky rookie forward caused an unexpected commotion in a Southside Chicago supermarket, leaving unsuspecting shoppers with stories to tell for years. Why? She stumbled upon a towering stack of Reese’s Puffs cereal boxes featuring none other than… Angel Reese herself.
Cue the screaming, cheering, and, yes, frantic cart-piling as Reese cleared the aisle faster than she does rebounds in a playoff game.
Supermarket Shock: From Cereal to Chaos
According to Reese’s Instagram stories (because where else would this drama unfold?), the WNBA star was casually strolling down the cereal aisle when her childhood dreams came to life. Spotting her face plastered across the limited-edition “Angel X Reese’s Puffs” boxes, she erupted into what can only be described as pure, unfiltered joy.
“I couldn’t help it—I screamed! I mean, who wouldn’t if they saw themselves on a cereal box? It’s like every kid’s dream!” Reese shared, while footage revealed her shoving box after box into her cart like a contestant on Supermarket Sweep. Customers reportedly looked on in stunned silence, unsure if they were witnessing a PR stunt, a meltdown, or both.
One witness was overheard asking, “Is she okay?” while another, clutching their own box, muttered, “Well, she’s not getting all of them.” Spoiler: She almost did.
Reese’s Pieces: A Perfect Partnership
The collaboration between Reese and the iconic cereal brand feels like destiny—or at least good marketing. The partnership celebrates the WNBA star’s dual passions for basketball and fashion, mirroring Reese’s Puffs’ signature pairing of chocolate and peanut butter. The four unique box designs, available for $5.69 while supplies last, feature Reese in stylish poses that would make even the most seasoned supermodel jealous.
“This is bigger than basketball. It’s about showing the world that you can dominate the court and the fashion world,” Reese said, proving once again that she’s as versatile as the cereal she now represents.
Brandon Tyrrell, General Mills’ Senior Brand Experience Manager, couldn’t have been prouder. “Angel embodies what we love about Reese’s Puffs—the perfect blend of two great things. Her influence on and off the court is undeniable,” he said, probably while eating a celebratory bowl.
Rent, Records, and Reese’s Reality
Behind the glitz and cereal glamour, Reese has been candid about the financial realities of being a WNBA rookie. Her $8,000-a-month luxury apartment in Southside Chicago doesn’t come cheap, and league earnings alone aren’t enough to foot the bill. Deals like this collaboration not only keep the lights on but also cement her as a rising star in both sports and business.
And let’s not forget Reese’s on-court dominance. After a record-breaking collegiate career, she’s already turning heads in her rookie season, proving that her cereal-box fame is just icing on the metaphorical cake—or milk in the bowl.
Fans React: “She’s Living the Dream!”
Social media, as always, had a field day with Reese’s supermarket antics. One fan tweeted, “Angel Reese buying all her cereal boxes is a vibe. Manifesting this energy for my next paycheck.” Another joked, “If I ever see myself on a cereal box, you best believe I’m doing the same. Sorry, not sorry.”
While Reese’s energy may have startled a few shoppers, it’s clear she’s living her best life—one cereal box at a time.
So, if you’re heading to the grocery store anytime soon, keep an eye out. Not just for the Angel X Reese’s Puffs boxes (which are selling out fast), but for Angel Reese herself. She might just be there, adding even more chaos—and cereal—to her cart.
