It feels like a real moment between a mother and son and reminds viewers of emotionally pivotal moments they've had with their family. And sometimes those moments can be as simple as having a bowl of cereal.

Adweek praised ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi NY for the quiet, realistic, spot. "They're small, quiet and dignified," Tim Nudd wrote. "They focus on simple, relatable family moments. They look inward, not outward."

This ad reminds viewers why they love the Cheerios, which has been virtually unchanged for years.
