Who's the Best... Monster Breakfast Cereal?


Karen: Since it's Halloween-time, General Mills has brought back their popular monster cereals to store shelves around the country. This year, besides the classic Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry, they've brought back the near-mythical Frute Brute (don't blame me, that's how they're spelling it) and Yummy Mummy. Now they have changed the flavors on the last two; both were originally multi-fruit flavored. I suppose in order to make them different, they have made Frute Brute cherry flavored (yechh) and Yummy Mummy 'orange-creme' flavored (whaaat???). Just for fun, some stores will feature boxes with retro (ie. 70s) art designs.

Here's your question: Assuming you ate these cereals, what flavor was your favorite? For me there was no question: hands down, it was Count Chocula! Chocolate would always trump fruit flavor for this kid. I did occasionally eat Frankenberry, but I never tried Boo berry or any of the other cereals. I don't think I even knew of the other two until years later. I might not have heard of Frute Brute til I saw it in Pulp Fiction. Although I now mostly eat oatmeal and 'healthy' cereals, I do usually pick up a box of Chocula at this time of the year, for old times' sake. Man is that stuff sweet! So how about it -which one was your favorite?
