The General Mills Corporation’s monster-themed breakfast cereals, officially referred to collectively as the Monster Cereals, are five current, and formerly-distributed, breakfast cereal brands in North America. The series includes Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo-Berry, in addition to the long-discontinued, but temporarily resurrected, Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy.

In October 1971, the first two cereals in the line were introduced, Count Chocula and the strawberry-flavored Franken Berry. In the commercials, the two monsters would engage in comic bickering over which cereal was better than the other when something or someone else interfered in their verbal sparring and scares them out of their wits.

In February 1972, Franken Berry cereal included an indigestible pigment that turned some children’s feces pink, a symptom sometimes referred to as “Franken Berry Stool.” Boo-Berry, reputedly the first blueberry-flavored cereal, was released in 1973, and Fruit Brute the following year. Fruit Brute was discontinued by 1982 and replaced in 1987 by Fruity Yummy Mummy, which also had a short life as it was discontinued in 1992.

In 2010, Betty Crocker released Franken Berry and Boo-Berry Fruit Roll-Ups. General Mills released Count Chocula cereal bars.

Since 2010, Franken Berry, Boo-Berry, and Count Chocula cereals are manufactured and sold only for a few months during the autumn/Halloween season in September and October. These cereals are neither made nor sold the rest of the year. As of late 2010, information such as nutrition data and historical factoids can still be found on the official General Mills website at all times of the year.

In August 2013, it was revealed on Dinosaur Dracula that for the first time in history, General Mills was releasing all five monster cereals for purchase during the Halloween season. Both Fruit Brute, which was being released for the first time in 31 years and Fruity Yummy Mummy, which was being released for the first time in 21 years, would also receive updated packaging like the other cereals. Additionally, it was revealed on I-Mockery that special retro edition boxes of all five cereals with their original packaging art would be sold exclusively at Target.

In 2014, General Mills enlisted the help of DC Comics to create new designs for the cereals in time for that Halloween. The designs, revealed on August 6, consisted of a Boo Berry design by Jim Lee, a Count Chocula design by Terry Dodson and a Franken Berry design by Dave Johnson

… “It’s our time!, it’s our time down here.”

      The  “Let me be me” “Disclaimer:

As you have most likely already assumed, I’m just “Me” and I  like to ramble on about life and talk about random day dreams, childhood moments and sometimes I get sidetracked and go off subject and blah , blah, blaahhh blah blah…

but hey, that’s all part my charm.. or so I’ve been told.  <(Never been told that)

(Imagine you heard an 80’s movie dog bark sound effect here)

(Jedih says enthusiastically) “Oh yeah, sorry about the barking!”

“Zip it Zilla!”

That’s just my furry lil’ pet website Blogzilla Rex…  B Zilla, Big Rex, Bizzle Zizzle, Puff Zilla, Pipkin Z, Pippy Long sizzle…

FizgigI reluctantly named him Blogzillla Rex because apparently, Fizgig was takin’  *Pfft*

Blogzilla is a moody lil’ chap and I cannot promise he wont bite, but once he gets to know you he’ll be humpin’ your leg and beggin’ for treats. (Just toss him a few bacon wrapped cat turds and he’ll be a friend for life)

 

 

             W.T.F. is this all about?

Well pardner, this here’s an uncomplicated little place where I like to collect and share random videos, story’s and other goodies from around the web. It’s all about Pop culture snacks… Kinda like munchies for your brain.

Me and Rex enjoy sharing tasty little goodies such as 80s Sci-fi and adventure movies, Vintage videos and old toy commercials… You know the kinda stuff… Vintage dookie like this.

No worry’s if it ain’t your cup of tea, but if your bored and want to waste a few spins of the old clock arms, well, you might just find some golden kernels of wacky shizz. That’s only if your not a’scared and your ready for a kooky good time.

 

         A bit about Jedih and the guys from 3D:

We like to get together and let the brain juices flow… you know, turn on the idea factory.

Musical jam sessions have been known to occur in the studio. You can also find us hanging outside with Jumbo Joe, the trusty 3D BBQ

ain’t nuthin’ like the great outdoors, a coldie and a fresh plate of Q… Makes the heart all warm and fuzzy just thinkin’ about it.

 

         Thrills, chills and M.C. skills we bring to the table:

Coming up with names for bands, movies and others projects that don’t even exist is one of our favorite pastimes.

Sometimes we even review movies, music and current pop culture stuff. < (not really, but we plan on it)

We can be all over the place man, but we have a good time and a few belly laughs while were at it.

We enjoy pondering the future as well as reminiscing on the past. I guess you could call us pop culture enthusiasts… You can call us what you like just don’t call us late for num nums!

 

 

FlynnsIf your anything like me, you get a kick out of old school commercials, wacky 80s B movies, crappy Sci-fi, Kung Fu movies, Comics, Cartoons, Obscure video games, Funny memes, epic (and even not so epic) fails and such. Oh, I almost forgot to include Burt Reynolds mustache.

Well, then that means your in like Flynn.

Yours unruly,

Jedih and the 3D boys
