About Chex
Chex is a lattice-shaped cereal launched in 1937, and the Chex Mix party snack recipe printed on the box in 1952 eventually became a packaged product larger than the cereal it came from. General Mills acquired both with Ralcorp's branded cereal business in 1997, and Chex Mix is now sold in many flavours as a bagged snack.
