Chex is a brand of breakfast cereal now manufactured by General Mills. It was originally owned by Ralston-Purina, and the Chex name reflects the "checkerboard square" logo of Ralston-Purina.

Its flavors include:

Wheat Chex Cereal
Corn Chex Cereal
Rice Chex Cereal
Multi-Bran Chex Cereal
Honey Nut Chex Cereal
Frosted Mini-Chex Cereal
Chex Morning Party Mix

Chex is also known as the basis of a baked snack called Chex Mix. Chex Mix recipes were regularly featured on Chex cereal boxes, and later, commercially prepared Chex Mix snacks began to be sold in supermarkets.

Video game

Chex was featured in a first person shooter video game entitled Chex Quest, in which the player takes on the role of an anthropomorphic piece of Chex cereal. In actuality, it is nothing more than a modified version of DOOM's IWAD (graphics, sounds, levels, etc.) and executable. However, two new games based on Chex are a sequel entitled Chex Trek using a modified Doom 3 engine and a prequel using the Wolfenstein 3D engine respectively.
