Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy cereals return!

*Donatello19* · 08-18-2013, 05:21 PM

Ok, ok, I know this is an EXTREMELY random thread...but I have some big news. So, you all know about the monster cereals, right? You know, Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken-Berry, the cereals that come out during Halloween. Well, way back when in the 1970's and 80's, there were FIVE monster cereals. The three I mentioned, plus two cereals called "Fruit Brute" (with a Werewolf mascot) and "Yummy Mummy" (with a mummy mascot, of course) these two cereals were nowhere near as popular as the original three, so they were discontinued and were never seem again....until now!

I know a lot of you will think this is a stupid thread, but I think it's really interesting to see these return after so many years. So, do any of you remember eating these way back when? Are you excited for them to return?

These cereals will be available this Fall, just in time for Halloween!

You're not the only one, I had the same reaction when I heard Hostess had returned.

**Jester** · 08-18-2013, 05:30 PM

Hey, every Halloween my wife is super excited at the prospect of Boo-Berry and Franken-Berry....this news made her ecstatic. We've always wondered what Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute were like.

Same with me! I'm excited to finally be able to taste some this year, let's hope they prove to be popular enough so that they can be permanent editions!

*NinjaPug* · 08-18-2013, 05:39 PM

Yeah, I'm way too excited about this news. I wish we were getting the original Yummy Mummy box but I'm just excited to see it return.

Honestly I prefer their new designs...they fit in with the core three cereals that way.

Just noticed that the boxes describe Frute Brute as a cherry flavored frosted cereal...and Yummy Mummy as an orange cream flavored frosted cereal...both with marshmallows! The cherry flavor sounds delicious, but I'm not too sure on orange cream. I will try both of them, of course!

I do like that they're getting updated designs to fit in with the new designs of the main three too. For nostalgic reasons I wish the older box was an option too.

It would be really cool if one side of the box was retro styled, and the other side the new style. Or maybe they could pack one "chase variant" box of the cereal with the old design on it per case.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 08-18-2013, 07:07 PM

I want that cereal. O_O i never heard of it, but I want it.

*Donatello19* · 08-18-2013, 09:00 PM

You know, these could be in stores right now....heck, I'm already seeing Halloween candy in stores so you never know. I'll check the next time I'm in the grocery store. If anyone spots them please tell us!

*Guitar_Raph* · 08-18-2013, 09:21 PM

It's nice to see the monster cereal family returning.

Every Halloween, I get Boo Berry because it's a rare cereal in Texas. Usually can find them @ Target & WalMart.

I wouldn't mind a taste of Yummy Mummy orange flavored cereal. But the cheerry flavored Fruit Brute wouldn't work with my taste buds.

The last time I disliked a cereal is when GM came out with a grape flavored cereal!

Although it says Cherry flavored, I'm sure it will be a mixture of a lot of fruit flavors. Honestly, I expect Frute Brute to taste something like Froot Loops. As for Yummy Mummy, his cereal sounds unique. Orange Cream isn't a flavor normally seen in cereals...I'm anxious to try them both! Grape cereal? Sounds kinda gross...although I'd still want to try it

Now if only a new TMNT cereal was made....

Is anyone else gonna buy BOXES of that stuff?

Not boxes, BOXES, I MEAN BOXES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Jester** · 08-19-2013, 12:16 AM

You mean cases?

*miru* · 08-19-2013, 12:21 AM

"head explodes"

Oh.My.Arceus

THIS IS AWESOME!

What's next to return? The BK Kids Club Gang? All those Kool-Aid variants? Bucky o'Hare? Funny Face? Don Bluth?

BK Kids Club is long overdue for a comeback. Wheels may have to stay home, though, as he's no longer politically correct. Unless they gave him an entirely new name.

"Ok, so the kid we used to call 'Wheels' is now 'Frank'." "Really? I mean, isn't that kind of... patronizing?" "No, dammit we can't have a kid in a wheelchair named WHEELS, it's insensitive! What's wrong with you?" "Well, can the other kids call him 'Wheels' like a nickname, at least?" "HIS NAME IS 'FRANK', A******, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! You LIKE making fun of the handicapped?!" "Well, no, I mean... I mean, only in private like everyone else does..."

Uh, yeah, anyway, wow. Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy? I'm half-tempted, because they've never been available in my lifetime, but eh, I'm not sure. Nostalgia doesn't seem like the greatest excuse to willingly inflict diabetes on myself.

"Son, your ENTIRE bloodstream has turned to glucose.... what in GOD's name were you thinking?!" "Doc, c'mon... it was YUMMY MUMMY, man! That stuff is rarer than Haley's Comet!"

Interesting idea though. Never underestimate the power of an obscure Robot Chicken skit to make something popular again, I guess.
