Cereal Conspiracy

Anyone know why hardly any stores carry Count Chochula, Boo Berry or Frankenberry anymore? I dont care how old you are, this line of cereal was the best. I am pretty sure these brands sold a lot but you cant find them in the stores anymore. If you find any of the 3, its only Count Chocula.

Boo Berry was released in 1973, and is sometimes mistakenly thought to be discontinued. In reality, its distribution is just much lower and more sporadic than that of the flagship cereal Count Chocula. The best time of the year to find Boo Berry is around Halloween. Target and Walmart are among the US retail stores that have been known to carry this more scarce cereal during the month of October. It can also be found year-round in the Midwestern United States and Northeast at Super Wal-Mart, IGA Supermarkets as well as online at websites such as Amazon.com.

from wikipedia....

Boo Berry is a variety of the monster-themed high-sugar breakfast cereals produced by General Mills for the North American market. It contains blueberry-flavored corn cereal bits and marshmallows. Boo Berry is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a blue ghost with a red bow-tie and a red-striped yellow hat, voiced by a Peter Lorre imitator.

Boo Berry was released in 1973, and is sometimes mistakenly thought to be discontinued. In reality, its distribution is just much lower and more sporadic than that of the flagship cereal Count Chocula. The best time of the year to find Boo Berry is around Halloween.

I used to love Boo Berry....I'm in the Midwest and I don't recall seeing it at WalMart, but I don't usually do my shopping there and don't really look for it specifically, so maybe I just miss it

I remember it was always a treat to get Boo Berry as a kid. Very hard to find even back then. We were strictly a Franken Berry or Count Chocula house for the most part

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

That stuff is so good that you would eat the whole box in one or two settings.
