I think about this issue all the time, how cereal tasted back in the 70s compared to now! It has a string blue Berry taste and not shiny and more matte in color and they were amazing!

[@mybelle6665]

It tasted different because the Cereal wasn't that airy puffy corn puff. It was more of a corn, oat grain texture.

[@michaelblaine6494]

I miss these being available all year,Boo Berry was always the most elusive though. It seemed like they only made a third the amount of BB as they did the other ones

They taste like trash now. Gen X remembers the original Boo Berry Cereal from the 70's.

[@elysehfm8797]

My father, Len Maxwell did some of these commercials. Still looking for which ones, but you can hear his old monster voices in his album Merry Monster Christmas.

[@jjvladimir6070]

9:24 According to the wikipedia entry for Peter Lorre Jr. (an impersonator of Peter Lorre of Maltese Falcon fame), he voiced Boo Berry for a time.

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

Fun fact: three other monster cereals were in the concept and testing phase in the early to mid 70's (presumably for a 1975 or so release). Anna Banana (with a witch mascot), Rrrr-Orange (with a skinny monster mascot, looked very similar to Animal from the muppets), and Apple Mummy (the mascot and artwork looked very similar to Yummy Mummy, which was released years later in 1987 and borrowed Fruit Brute's formula).

I just imagine the monsters should have a cartoon but will have the same creator that made FanBoy and Chum Chum and I think it’s funny 😂

I remember one of the HUGE prizes I adored as a young kid was the stickers you put on your face. Mom refused to do the iron on (Boo mom) but those stickers ended up in the weirdest places and I found them years later on things!

[@OliverTheRicketts]

Frute Brute, Frankenberry, Count Chocular, Boo Berry, Yummy Mummy. Faves in order. Definitely a halloween tradition for me.

[@MulToyVerse]

Better not let Beetlejuice know that Boo took his catchphrase.

[@davistalhone9482]

Nice piece - you really should have added a little history on Fruit Brute (Frute Brute today) and Fruity Yummy Mummy and you'd have created a really solid retrospective not just on Boo, but on the Monster Cereals in general. In answer to the taste differences in having switched from oats to corn for the cereal's taste - the answer can actually be found in two General Mills cereals that yet exist. They used to taste very much like flavored Lucky Charms (if you ever had the chocolate Lucky Charms, that was what Count Chocula used to be) whereas now the entire line much more closely resemble Trix with marbits.

[@Alaska-Jack]

I grew up with Pac-Man cereal. OJ cereal and donuts cereal. All from the 80s. Thank you 1980s you are a good decade for childhood when it came to cartoons and cereal and arcade games.

[@richardlee2120]

General Mills must bring all five monster cereals back year round!

[@BuccaneerBruce]

From 1991-2002 I had a 1985 Z-28 Camaro. I had it painted Blueberry Pearl and it looked like a big blueberry. Personalized license plates "Boo-Bry".

[@WonkaVator72]

I didn’t know that Paul Frees (the voice of Boo Berry) also voiced the Ghost Host on Haunted Mansion. Coincidentally, Thurl Ravenscroft - who’s vocal fronts “Grimm Grinning Ghosts” - was also also the voice of Tony “They’re Grrrrrear” the Tiger.

[@daveytandtheplacetobe7561]

BEST VIDEO ON THE INTERNET!!!! NICE JOB!!!!

[@Alaska-Jack]

They changed the taste of them and now they SUCK

[@DarkMetalSpider]

Boo Berry and Count Chocula... the only monster cereals I love to eat. Boo Berry being my favorite! the "corn" version is still doable, still tastes good, given that robust blueberry taste... but, I grew up eating the original oat version, a more fuller, richer taste. I always hate it when cereal companies decide they want to fix what's not even broken... oat cereal ALWAYS tastes better than corn cereal... any given day! regardless though, Boo Berry is still my absolute, most favorite!👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐

[@AyoWayo]

Man, I love this video. Currently eating a bowl of the new 50th anniversary Boo Berry and drinking a can of Great Notion’s Boo Berry Muffin sour, which is a sour beer made with Boo Berry!

Fruit Brute was lime back in the day. It didn't go cherry until it returned in 2013.

[@hotwheel6663]

Love these every Halloween takes me back to the 70s.

[@MustachioedBear]

got a big ol family size box of franken berry from the dollar store for a buck flat. And you were right the cereal itself doesn't have much strawberry flavor. The marshmallows carry it hard to make it pretty decent. The store only had franken berry though. maybe because he is the least popular they had a bunch of extra to sell to dollar tree. Hopefully next time I go I can find some boo berry.

[@EddyCannistraci]

Greet video! Team Boo! 👍🏼

[@danielb.1567]

I just bought boo berry and count chocula today and they have X's in their eyes and the box is very minimalist. Looks like it out of the 70's. (2022, Fall)

I don't get it if General Mill continues to use oats for Cheerios why can't they just change it the monster cereals recipe back to oats?
