Here’s a weird bit of pop culture — a 1983 ad for General Mills Monster Cereals. I might never have actually had Boo Berry — and I remember eating Franken Berry only once or twice? But Count Chocula was a sugary morning delicacy in my household growing up.
It frequently had the best toy surprises waiting at the bottom of the box too. (Do cereals still have those?) I was utterly thrilled that one summer when I got my hands on the the Monster Cereals ink stamps — though, if memory serves, I actually had to save some proofs-of-purchase or something and send away for them in the mail.
Anyway, thanks to the SaturdayMorningFever Youtube channel for this upload.
And if weird Monster Cereals trivia is your thing, then you ought to read up on Quentin Tarantino’s reverence for Fruit Brute.
