I am horribly ill today, and not sure what I've got, but I seem to be feeling better than I was this morning at least. Either way, I will be making this brief. Luckily I've seen the retro-styled General Mills Monster Cereals ALL OVER the internet. Target is the only place you can get these old-style boxes.
There's no such thing as a Monster cereal I don't enjoy. And while my favorite is still Count Chocula, I have lots of room in my heart for the Berry flavors as well.
Fruity Yummy Mummy is probably my favorite of the newly re-released cereals. I dig that Orange cream! The cherry's not bad, but it's not my favorite.
Here's a look at the monster trivia on the side of all five boxes.
The comic panel from the back of the box. I really like the modern incarnations of the characters too!
I also picked up a mixed four-pack of the Jones Halloween flavored sodas. Red licorice was tasty... candy corn was not.
Caramel Apple had a weird after-taste but was still pretty good. I have to say hands down that Blood Orange was my absolute favorite flavor out of the four. Love the can art on these too. Artwork-wise I can't really pick a favorite... but that dangling eye had me at hello.
Anyway... I've seen a ton of stuff about these items online, but I still wanted to share them on here, and not feeling well... I don't feel too obligated to write much more. I highly recommend these food items to any fan of Halloween.
That's it for tonight Mademoiselle's and Monsieurs! I will be back soon with more Gastrointestinal Goodwill Goodies (groooooossss...) So until then, Happy Haunting!
I want to visit Texas in the worst way....
ReplyDeleteWe were able to get the cereal earlier on at a local grocery store.
ReplyDeleteSorry you feel bad.
Did you happen to see my thrift store gems today?
Those Jones sodas scare me they really have some odd flavors sometimes like the Turkey and Gravy one they have have out for Thanksgiving...Yikes!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!
ReplyDeleteFrankenberry + Frute Brute = awesome, for the record
Love the cereal, too. Have all the retro boxes! :) Haven't found any of the soda, however. Feel better, everyone in my home has been ill, as well! Bleh!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're not feeling well. I hope you feel better in time to enjoy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI'm a HUGE cereal fan and I love that they brought back the old monster cereals. My favorite has always been Boo Berry, but if you mix a little bit of every flavor into one bowl you get an amazing ultimate Monster Mash flavor! I highly recommend it!
That soda looks so good! I can't believe I didn't even know about it! Thanks for sharing and get well soon!
