While Mummy Yummies and Fruit Brute didn't last all that long, the continued success of Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry prove the utter genius of this General Mills cereal concept. Outstanding!
Actually I don't much like the cereals all that much, too sweet, but I love the designs. Here's the official General Mills website. And if you go to this website and scroll down a bit you'll find some neat trivia on the monstery quintet.
And here are several commercials. It's great to hear the wonderful voices for Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry. The classic tones of Karloff, Lorre, and maybe a hint of Lugosi add luster to the characters. I have no idea who if anyone inspired Fruit Brute or Yummy Mummy. They seem pretty random.
Rip Off
