I have a possibly strange fascination with co-branded Lego products. For some
reason the logo'd parts especially get me going lol. So imagine my surprise
and excitement when I was going through the catalog and found this:

 
Part No: 3010pb223 Name: Brick 1 x 4 with Red 'Kellogg's' Pattern
* 		3010pb223 Brick 1 x 4 with Red 'Kellogg's' Pattern
Parts: Brick, Decorated

Being the biggest cereal company (or at least very close to General Mills), this
is a quintessential branded brick for me. But I see it has no sets to its name,
and not even a release date. It's a shame that none are for sale because
I want one really bad in case you couldn't tell! My best and obvious guess
is it was a cereal box promotional prize, but does anyone know anything for certain
about it?

Thanks,
Stephan

Looking at the part, the logo and pip on the side make it a 1970’s brick.
And in that time period Kelloggs did have a LEGO competition, maybe it came with
the price....
