Tales from the Mess Hall -- GM Monsters

General Mill's Monsters are overtaking the cereal ailses

This time of year we see all kinds of seasonal product placements, but none are more welcome to the kiddie campers at Horror camp than GM’ s release of their Monster line of Breakfast cereals.

Although Count Chocula can be procured year round, this is the one time of the year where he is joined by a legion of undead brethren, Frankenberry, BooBerry, YummyMummy, and the lesser known FruteBrute (He’s a werewolf). This will be the only time of the year you can find this veritable Monster Squad of horror baddies in your cereal aisle.

You can pick these up in their new modern packaging at many grocery stores near you.  If you are really lucky you can find them in their retroactive boxes of yesteryear. The old packaging that we all love and remember when these commodities were available year round, (at least boo berry, and frankenberry were when I was a kid). While out on town shopping for the weekly camper’s breakfast budget I spied some of the retro boxes at Target.

This is the only time of year you’ll see these baddies available to purchase so pick yours up soon before they return to their graves from whence they were spawned, to sleep the sleep of the dead until they return again next year.
