Tim Burgess, the lead singer of alternative rock band The Charlatans, has had his own brand of cereal made after he joked about it on Twitter.

The frontman had light-heartedly posted on Twitter: "Just invented a breakfast cereal called Totes Amazeballs™. Kellogg's are interested."

Kellogg's, however, contacted Burgess and ended up developing one prototype box of Totes Amazeballs cereal, according to Manchester Evening News.

Burgess recalled: "I was thinking it'd be cool to come up with a breakfast cereal.

"I heard someone use the expression 'Totes Amazeballs' and it sounded like something from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

A Kellogg's spokeswoman added: "We really try to make the most of Twitter here at Kellogg's, and when we saw the tweet, we knew we had to make something special for him.

"We only had one box of Totes Amazeballs made which was sent to Tim. However, we are now getting inundated with tweets from his fans saying they want it."
