Short Answer

Refer to the passage below to answer the questions that follow.
Kellogg's is a well-known manufacturer of breakfast cereals and several other products, such as Pop-Tarts, Eggo waffles, and fruit snacks. Kellogg's has used Tony the Tiger on its Frosted Flakes box and promotional efforts for years. In fact, when Tony turned 50 years old, Kellogg's staged a big event in Michigan, which is where the cereal is produced, to celebrate. The company also took the party on the road for the month, traveling to 30 cities in a bus painted with an image of Tony and offering fun activities for families. Also, during that month, the price of the cereal was lowered to what the price was 50 years ago when Kellogg's first started selling it. The event received considerable media exposure (e.g., a feature story about Tony in USA Today) due to the successful public relations effort supporting the brand. Additionally, kids can go to Kelloggs.com and click on "Fun-K-Town" and play games with Kellogg's breakfast cereal characters such as Tony the Tiger. During the month of his birthday celebration, there was a special game in which kids could help Tony find his birthday presents. Although anyone could play a game with Tony, game pieces were placed in specially marked boxes, giving kids the chance to participate in the game at a higher level and win prizes.
-Identify the public relations tool used for Tony's birthday celebration.
