HOLY COW!! Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy are back!

[madmarva]

As much as I like the sweet cereals, Fruit Brute was too sweet for me back in the day. Never heard of Yummy Mummy.

Looking forward to all the Halloween stuff making it into stores.

I'm very excited to try both of these.
However, I do agree with the idea of the retro boxes.

I never knew of these guys as a kid. Only years later did I know these ever existed.

I remember Fruit Brute but not the mummy

what was his schtick ?

He's yummy.

Nice idea, but not a fan of the new box art. I remember arguing the existence of Frute Brute with some co-workers who were a couple years younger than me and didn't remember the cereal or it's commercials. This was back in the day when I couldn't just tell them to google it. They thought I was full of crap.

Funny I was just watching Pulp Fiction (on AMC right now) and the Eric Stoltz character(the drug dealer that Vincent Vega was taking Mia to after the drug overdose) was eating cereal and the box in the background was Frute Brute.

Yeah, when I first saw the film, this scene finally proved to me that I didn't just imagine the cereal ever existed, there it was! I think the box was from QT's personal collection, I know he collects a lot of 70's memorabilia, toys, board games, cereal boxes, etc. I know if I directed films, I'd be putting my crap in the background for sure!

Cool, oh yeah, who here as a kid did not eat all those sugar laden cereals back then. I know I tried them all back then. The one that had the coolest looking prize was the one I got everytime we went to the grocery store. I occasionally still will treat myself to one of those cereals, but being 46, I try to eat a little healthier breakfast now. But I still love them.

I never herd of either of these I know Franken Berry,Boo-Berry and Count Chocula.

These must have not been released in my area, as I have never heard of these. I will have to try them out for sure.

It would be cool if they issued retro boxes too. I was never a fan of either, but I know we ate fruit brute at least once, because there is a FB glow in the dark sticker still on the light switch plate to the basement in my mom's house!

I was excited two days ago when I first heard this but now I'm somewhat disappointed after reading that they're tinkering with the flavors and seeing
the horrible redesigns of the characters....

[Mego MkIV]

I'm a Cherrios and Chex man myself but its still pretty cool.

An improvement for Fruit Brute (originally lime flavored marshmallows) but not so much for Yummy Mummy (Originally vanilla flavored marshmallows)

[huedell]

Frute Brute is going to be cherry flavored, while Yummy Mummy is orange cream. YUM!

Which means they're going to taste even less like their respective original cereals than CHOC, FRANKEN B or BOO BERRY already do. But, yes, I do agree the nostalgia of it is worth the move.

Neat! Thank you for posting this.

Super! I still have one box of Count Chocula stashed from last Halloween. (hasn't been opened yet!). I never ate Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy, but cherry and orange cream? I'm there!
