STOPPED. DEAD. IN. MY. TRACKS.
Glory! WOO! The monster cereals are here!!!
If you have never had these, here is the deal:
Back in the day there was Boo-Berry (blueberry) Frankenberry (strawberry) and Count Chocula (chocolate) flavored cereals. And they were good….NAY….they were AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
– and then discontinued…..every damn thing in my life. I swear…..
ANYWAY – General Mills got smart a few years back, and brought them back in all their glory for HALLOWEEN. It’s a genius move. It’s always an impulse buy. All three. I end up eating cereal for most of the month of October. In the past few years I have crafted some hybrids. Mainly due to boredom and curiosity.
Boo Berry + Frankenberry = FrankenBoo. This is my favorite blend. It’s the best of both worlds. Strawberry and Blueberry together? Done and Done.
Frankenberry + Count Chocula = Count Frankula – To me, this is kinda like chocolate covered strawberries in cereal form.
Count Chocula + Boo Berry – Count Choco-boo – This is good too, just not my favorite.
When November nears, I start running low on supply. So it becomes Franken-Chocu-Boo – all three mixed.
Thankfully stores like Target love to slash prices on seasonal items the day after the holiday. I can restock for the winter for just about a buck a box at this point.
If you haven’t tried these sweet and crunchy monsters – you are missing out.
It really is all about the simple things.
FrankenBoo Forever.
I seem to recall a 4th cereal in the 70’s monster line-up. Wasn’t there a “Wolfen-Berry” as well? Werewolf mascot of course.
M, there were a total of FIVE over the years. The one you are thinking of was called FRUIT BRUTE. He was indeed a werewolf. His cereal was fruit flavored. FRUIT BRUTE was discontinued then revamped and brought back a few years later as YUMMY MUMMY.
