Cereal Milk Magic Beat Rainbow Belts Raptors 121-114
Two nights after a 30-point loss in the same building, Cereal Milk went back to Flavor Science Center and evened the season series in a Presidential Cup group game.
| TEAM | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | T |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Cereal Milk | 31 | 33 | 31 | 26 | 121 |
 Rainbow Belts | 27 | 28 | 33 | 26 | 114 |
Forty-eight hours earlier, the Rainbow Belts Raptors had run the Cereal Milk Magic out of Flavor Science Center by 30. Cereal Milk came back to the same floor Friday and never trailed at a break.
Cereal Milk took the first quarter 31-27 and the second 33-28 for a 64-55 halftime lead. Rainbow Belts pushed back with a 33-31 third, but Cereal Milk still carried a 95-88 cushion into the fourth.
The final period was dead even at 26-26, and that was all Cereal Milk needed. Final: 121-114.
The East Group A win opens Cereal Milk's Presidential Cup schedule on the right foot and lifts the team to 2-3, fourth in the Southeast Division. The season series is now 1-1.
Rainbow Belts falls to 3-2, third in the Atlantic Division, with its winning streak snapped at one.
Both teams play Sunday. Cereal Milk returns home to host the Head Cheese Celtics, and Rainbow Belts travels to the SFV OG Lakers.

Go get the rematch
You do not need a ticket for this Presidential Cannabis League rivalry, just a trip to a licensed store. Cereal Milk and Rainbow Belts each put the same pair on the shelf. Look for the Blunt, 1.5g in a tobacco-free hemp wrap, and the Pre-Roll, 1g in rolling paper.
Start with the names and numbers on the pack. Cereal Milk's breakfast-on-the-moon art wears 6 on the Blunt and 60 on the Pre-Roll. Rainbow Belts answers in candy stripes with 7 on the Blunt, one for every color in the rainbow, and 77 on the Pre-Roll.
Shopping in California? California's region-by-region dispensary directory suggests deciding on format and series before calling a store, and it notes that Rose Gold there comes as blunts only, so ask for the Cereal Milk Blunt by name.
In New York, searching New York stores by ZIP code returns participating licensed retailers in distance order. Save the exact pack art, note its series and format, and ask the store about its current selection.
What's inside
Cereal Milk is Rose Gold Connoisseur Series and a Hall of Fame Inaugural Class member. Both of its rolls are Hybrid-marked, built from flower, live rosin and diamonds, and its page describes a creamy strain known for sweet milk and vanilla.
Rainbow Belts plays in the Gold Strain Series, pairing its flower with live resin and diamonds under an Indica label. Its reported profile mixes sweet fruit and citrus with a diesel edge, a fruity-and-gassy pairing in one name.
Same diamonds on the outside of both. The oil underneath is where the two tiers part ways: rosin for Rose Gold, resin for Gold.
