Chex is a brand of breakfast cereal now manufactured by General Mills. It was originally owned by Ralston-Purina, and the Chex name reflects the "checkerboard square" logo of Ralston-Purina.
Its flavors include:
- Wheat Chex Cereal
- Corn Chex Cereal
- Rice Chex Cereal
- Multi-Bran Chex Cereal
- Honey Nut Chex Cereal
- Frosted Mini-Chex Cereal
- Chex Morning Party Mix
Chex is also known as the basis of a baked snack called Chex Mix. Chex Mix recipes were regularly featured on Chex cereal boxes, and later, commercially prepared Chex Mix snacks began to be sold in supermarkets.
[edit] Video game
Chex was featured in a first person shooter video game entitled Chex Quest, in which the player takes on the role of an anthropomorphic piece of Chex cereal. In actuality, it is nothing more than a modified version of DOOM's IWAD (graphics, sounds, levels, etc.) and executable. However, two new games based on Chex are a sequel entitled Chex Trek using a modified Doom 3 engine and a prequel using the Wolfenstein 3D engine respectively.
