Do they still make Boo Berry and Frankenberry? At one time I seem to recall a werewolf that had his own cereal. They don’t sell anything but Count Chocula (sp??) in Chicago. At least not that I know of. But I could sure use some Boo Berry. ---

I dunno about you but I lived on Count Chocula and chocolate covered donuts when I was in high school. I weighed in at 100 pounds too. Hmmm, maybe I should go back to that diet… To answer your question, I haven’t seen Frankenberry or Boo Berry in quite some time. ---

Don’t know if they still make them. But I also remember in addition to the Werewolf cereal, there was “Yummy Mummy.” ---

Whenever I see Frankenberry, I think of that SNL bit where Al Franken indignantly asks General Mills for his name back, then poses with his face next to the box; the resemblance is uncanny!

Yep, Cub Foods is the only place I know where you can get Boo Berry. My favorite cereal. I’ve never tasted Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy; what exactly were their flavors? * * * And the problem with small furry animals in corners is that, just occasionally, one of them’s a mongoose.

From the [Trivia listing](http://us.imdb.com/Trivia?0110912) for _Pulp Fiction_ at IMdB: > [@](#): > > When Vincent calls Lance on his cell phone, Lance is eating a bowl of FRUIT BRUTE, a cereal from the older moster cereal family. Fruit Brute (which, along with FRANKENBERRY, BOO BERRY, and COUNT CHOCULA, make up the monster cereals) was the first of the type to be discontinued.

I knew I liked you Dopers for some reason. for over a decade, I’ve been alone in my assertion that there was a Fruit Brute cereal in the Monster Cereals line.

Came across the Count, Boo, and Frankenberry in the store a couple of weeks ago. They now have spiffy foil on the front, and their marshmallows have Scooby, Shaggy, and the Mystery van. * * * Will work for sig line. ---

Count Chocula, and the rest of them seem to be a seasonal (Halloween) item at Target. At least in the California Bay Area… But, on my yearly trip to New Orleans, I have noticed that Walmarts in Louisiana stock the stuff on regular basis…Couple that with cheap housing, and maybe you finally have a reason to live in the deep south… 😉 ---

I could have sworn Yummy Mummies were a candy. I remember getting them in some little coffin and sucking out the corpse from the sarcophogus. They were FOUL! I suppose the name could have been something else and I just projected the cereal onto the revolting candy. HUGS! Sqrl BTW Frankenberry is one of the reasons I don’t eat cereal.
