Keith Urban Announces the Winner of Old El Paso's 'Castin' the Cowboy' Content Series
Elroy won hearts and caught the attention of Urban himself, with his Tex-Mex swagger, vocal flair and undeniable passion for Old El Paso. From fake horses to real harmonies, Elroy brought the heat and the humor to prove he's more than just a cowboy; he's the voice of taco night.
Elroy is stepping into the spotlight with a new ad campaign rolling out this summer, starting off with him taking the reins as the new cowboy. Then, stay tuned for more ad spots from Elroy coming this fall. The creative recognizes the chaos of modern-day life, but shows how Old El Paso is one thing you can count on, bringing comfort, flavor, and a sense of ease back to the table. Whether it's crunchy Stand 'N Stuff shells, Creamy Queso sauce, Original Taco Seasoning, or crowd-pleasing dinner kits, Elroy's here to remind us that a little joy and a good taco can go a long way.
'When we launched 'Castin' the Cowboy,' our goal was to celebrate the spirit of taco night in a way only Old El Paso can,' said Jenny Jonker, Brand Experience Manager at Old El Paso. 'From our bold flavors to our versatile lineup of kits, shells, sauces and seasonings, we're all about making mealtime memorable, and bringing back our singing cowboy was just the beginning. Fans will want to keep an eye out for where Elroy shows up next!'
The full 'Castin' the Cowboy' content series, as well as plenty of Tex-Mex mealtime inspiration can be found @OldElPaso on Instagram and @ OldElPaso_Official on TikTok.

These 3 Vintage Cereals Are Back and Better Than Ever
Calling all Jim Henson fans! We can't tell if we've hit that part of the pop culture lifecycle where everything old is suddenly new again, or if we're all craving a serious dose of childhood nostalgia. But brands are diving headfirst into retro revivals lately, and we're here for it. From McDonald's rolling out a collection of old-school Happy Meal toys to Diet Cherry Coke making a comeback in its vintage packaging, everyone's leaning into that old-timey charm—even if it's just for the aesthetics. So when we heard General Mills had a throwback surprise in store, we practically reserved a spot in our shopping carts. And this time, the blast-from-the-past product comes with a fun, new twist we never saw coming. General Mills Launches Monsters Cereals x Jim Henson's Creature Shop As you may have guessed from the return of pumpkin spice everything, fall is officially in the air—and for General Mills, that means it's time for Monsters Cereals. Since 1971, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry have been seasonal icons—but this year, they're back earlier than ever, and with a makeover that makes perfect sense. This season, the monster trio is debuting limited-edition boxes featuring puppet-fied versions of each character—crafted by none other than Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Yes, that Jim Henson. The creative geniuses behind 'The Muppets,' 'Labyrinth,' and 'Fraggle Rock' have lent their legendary puppet-building skills to bring the Monsters to life in a fuzzy, delightful new way. Think: cereal box meets spooky Saturday morning puppet show. Of course, the cereal inside the box is just as you remember—chocolate-frosted bites from Count Chocula, blueberry cereal with monster-shaped marshmallows from Boo Berry, and a sweet strawberry crunch from Franken Berry. That's the kind of throwback we want to taste. But when it comes to packaging? We're all in on a refresh. 'Jim Henson Company you've outdone yourselves yet again!' one fan wrote. 'This is the most excited I've been in a while,' added another. Some fans are dreaming even bigger, hoping the puppets come off the box—literally. 'If they make figures or—GASP!—puppets, I'll plotz,' one commenter shared. While the collab doesn't go quite that far (yet), General Mills is giving collectors and puppet enthusiasts something to get excited about: a special edition Franken Berry box with a fuzzy, fleece-like texture, just like the puppets themselves. It'll be available exclusively on starting Tuesday, October 7. Whether you were a Monsters Cereals kid or just a fan of Henson magic, be sure to grab this mash-up as soon as it arrives in late August. Considering how fast Halloween hits grocery aisles these days, you should take every excuse to stock up early. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES
