Local supermarket had those two creature comebacks...Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy. Purchased both, but only tried Frute Brute.
Sometimes the quest is way more important than the treasure. But only when the treasure is pink cereal and not treasure.
Eh. It's ok. All of the monster cereals are shiny, and different than in their early years. And this stuff looks toxic, and doesn't have the toxic fruit flavor I was expecting (and wanting).
Found some Halloween It'll-Turn-Your-Milk-Green Captain Crunch, so it wasn't a total loss.
I'm officially a child.
Growing up, we had a sticker in the basement of my parents' house...of the Frute Brute (spelled Fruit Brute back then). None of us remember putting it there, and none of us could remember actually eating Frute Brute back then. And my parents were the first occupants of the house, so it was strange indeed that a sticker had been stuck in a monster cereal's honor.
And it's still there. Tonight, my mother called and said blood tears were dripping from it. At the precise moment that I shouted "This cereal tastes like piss!"
That last bit was a lie.
Here's a shot of the 2013 Frute Brute cereal. Which I swear has given me dry-mouth.

Now I'm in the mood for a bowl of Halloween Captain Crunch.
Yeah...I had the same experience with a cereal called Ka-Boom. I remember as a kid it was really sweet. Loaded with sugar. Years later when my daughter was born we were on the WIC program. I was surprised to see Ka-Boom one of the cereals on the list. I bought it and could not wait to bring me back to my childhood...
It taste like cardboard.
Chocula...he and I get along fine, good luck with the frute boos fellas.
I had a glow in the dark Fruit Brute sticker on my light switch in my bedroom all through the 70's
I also had a Coco the little brown elephant window cling from Cocoa Krispies on my window. You gotta love the 70's. Don't remember the cereal too well.
It's probably like when they cut trans fat in all the childhood sugar high foods. The taste was never the same.
i miss the little wagon wheel-shaped monster cereals. firm and heavy. With rich ink-ish dyes. A man's cereal. For kids.
I think there is a reason The Count is the only one of the cereals thats been a constant.
I think the lack of taste comes from the companies switching to whole grain/wheat/crap ;) I hate it. I miss the taste of my youth. Sigh.
Hahahhahaaa!! This post cracked me up. Great writing. Love the quote "Sometimes the quest is way more important than the treasure. But only when the treasure is pink cereal and not treasure." Truly LMAO'd!
