Given away free inside a box of Cocoa Puffs cereal in 2001, this game was essentially an advertisement for General Mills that bundled America Online software. Sonny (the Cocoa Puffs Spokestoon) is on a snowboarding quest to collect coins, cocoa, power-ups and move through the tournaments on his quest for Choclatey (SIC) Taste.

There is no installation required. The game runs directly from the CD Rom, and has 3 levels of difficulty. Sonny snowboards TOWARDS you in a semi-isometric view. You control him with the arrow keys, and can jump over igloos, animals and other various obstacles while collecting indicated items in order to progress to the next level. [source:mobygames]
