Monster Cereals

Oh how I loved them, except for that nasty Count Chocula, which made my milk brown. I think my mom fed me this stuff for the unbelievable savings in valuable coupons that came along with the box. :0)

Wikipedia:

Fruit Brute was one of a line of five monster-themed breakfast cereals produced by General Mills for the North American market. It is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a humorous cartoon werewolf. The frosted fruit-flavored cereal contained lime flavored marshmallows. Other cereals in the product line include Count Chocula (chocolate-flavored), Boo Berry (blueberry-flavored), Franken Berry (strawberry-flavored), and Yummy Mummy (fruit flavored with vanilla-flavored marshmallows).

Strange. Growing up in Northern California I knew of Boo Berry, Count Chocula & Franken Berry. But I've never heard of Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy.

Same here Zen, growing up in New Mexico, my brothers and I ate a lot of Franken Berry and Boo Berry. I still miss both. :) Never heard of yummy Mummy or the Fruit Brute.

How could you possibly not like Count Chocula???? There's chocolate milk built right into it. What's wrong with you?

I am the same as zen and wob. Never heard of those two. I grew up in Southern Oregon and Alaska

Other than Yummy Mummy I munched on all of these as a tot. In my adulthood, my reflections upon the memory of what these "cereals" tasted like more or less encapsulates what I now find revolting in a flavor.
