Breakfast anyone?

Guess what is coming back for a short time frame?

No, not bell bottoms.

Nope, not crocheted toilet paper covers.

Give up?

General Mills monster-themed breakfast cereals (officially referred to collectively as the Cereal Monsters) are five current and formerly distributed breakfast cereal brands in North America.

The series includes Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry, and the formerly discontinued Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy. Typically, the first three listed are only available around Halloween and the last two haven't seen production in years.

According to Wikipedia: In August 2013, it was revealed on Dinosaur Dracula that for the first time in history, General Mills was releasing all five monster cereals (including the long discontinued Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy) for purchase during the Halloween season.

Additionally, special retro edition boxes of all five cereals with their original packaging art would be sold exclusively at Target.


This was the packaging back in the '70s









And for those who will be purchasing the new boxes, here is the view:

I don't eat sugary cereal anymore but I still want to get one of each so that I can have the boxes for our Halloween Home.  Way to go General Mills!  Bring back the Monsters!
