Neopolitan: mix them together. ---

Nobody’s voting for Yummy Mummy? I guess because it didn’t last long enough. But fruity cereal bits _and_ marshmallows = pure sugar genius. ---

Lucky Charms and Count Chocula. ---

Count Chocula obviously kicks ass, although many appear reluctant to admit it. ---

> [@amaguri](#): > > Am I crazy, or is the “formula” for Frankenberry and/or Booberry way different than it used to be? The cereal seems lighter, or crisper, or somehow less substantial. Could be that, could be my tastes have changed since I was a kid, or my memory of those cereals is wrong. But it definitely wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. I bought some Frank and Boo last week at Target hoping to get a big hit of childhood memories. Turns out, they tasted like cardboard. ---

I don’t go to Target and probably won’t just for Boo Berry, but I did remember to check at my grocery store yesterday and they did not have any. ☹ ---

I’ve graduated to Cocoa Pebbles and Coco Krispies, but Count Chocula was a favorite of mine growing up in the late 70’s and 80’s. ---

I remember when they introduced Count Chocula and Frankenberry; Booberry was a late addition. I always liked Count Chocula best, but I would be afraid to try it now. It can’t possibly live up to what I remember. ☹ I don’t remember the other ones. About the time Booberry came out, Mom decided our breakfast cereals were too sugary, and cut us off. :dubious: ---

Booberry was always my fave, but the three classics are all good. Never had the last two. ---

_Booberry_ is best, or at least it is in my memory. I don’t get the Count Chocula dominance. Did he somehow cast a glamour over everyone? I mean, there’s like, _hundreds_ of chocolate cereals. What makes the vamp’s special? ---

Well, the question is what’s the best monster cereal, not what’s the best cereal, period. I assume that all the chocoholics are naturally going to pick Count Chocula, but that doesn’t nesessarily mean they would pick it over any other chocolate cereal.
