Ali won a gold medal in boxing in the 1960 Summer Olympics, Jenner won the gold in the decathlon in the 1976 Games, and Retton won the all-around gold in women’s gymnastics in 1984.

The “new” boxes will reach grocery shelves across the nation later this month, General Mills said in a news release.
