Why Madeleine Albright Is on a Wheaties Box

State Dept(WASHINGTON) — What do Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali and Madeleine Albright have in common? They’ve all been featured on the front of a Wheaties box.
The former secretary of state tweeted a picture Thursday morning of her photo on the cereal box.
Just finished my “breakfast of champions.” Thank you @GeneralMills! #wheaties pic.twitter.com/f4K3sL6iXO

General Mills told ABC News that Albright’s photo was placed on a commemorative Wheaties box.
Though the “breakfast of champions” boxes are usually reserved for celebrated athletes, the Wheaties website points out that a champion doesn’t always have to be a gold medalist.
“With the rise of the Internet and millennial culture, the very definition of the word ‘champion’ is changing,” the company website says. “A champion is no longer solely the megastar athlete; it is also any person who looks inside and challenges their personal best.”
In other words, Albright is a champion as far as Wheaties is concerned.
