Man I loved this cereal in the 80’s!

[@skunkman9815]

Anybody miss when the monster cereals where sold year round? Nowadays they made it only during the Halloween season

[@OliverTheRicketts]

This is great, the monsters have been a frequent topic on my documentary web series, and they mean a lot fo me. Excellent work here. I always love a good outline of them

[@joaocisne556]

now we know a 6th monster, a female zombie DJ called Cramila, and her flavor is caramel apple, after 35 years, we have a nem member on the group

I love all of the monster cereal monsters, but I think my favorite is Boo Berry. Also, I wish they made a monster cereal based on The Creature From The Black Lagoon, it could be a lime-flavored cereal too! Also, I've been trying to find info on the 1970s Jack In The Box characters, but there doesn't seem to be very much info on them. I did hear from Yahoo Answers [not the most reliable source, so take this with a grain of salt], that apparently Mcdonald's sued JITB over the Jack In The Box Bunch being similar to Mcdonaldland [knowing that Mcdonaldland is a copy of HR Pufnstuf makes this ironic]? I find it so weird that there is so little documentation on the pre 90's versions of Jack, and even odder that there are only three animated commercials with the JITB Bunch on KZbin [In The Park, Baseball, and one simply titled Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s].

The original Frute Brute had lime marshmallows, which I never got to try. It's good they bought that cereal back once again, even if it's not the same as it once was, along with Yummy Mummy when that cereal briefly returned in 2013 as well.

I love monster cereals.till the end.

[@ralphbenites1312]

I was boo berry for holloween last year

[@bradleywalker8468]

Now do Pillsbury's Funny Face (with mention of Tart 'n' Tangy, Moo Juice and Renegade Animation)!

Pillsbury Dough Boy is my Boy.

For a History of Pre-Looney Tunes Six Flags Mascots video, I think the ones that would be the best to cover would be Marvel Mcfey and His Enchanted Animals. KZbinrs Kenny Ryman and Knott's Bear-y Preserved + Dark Rides know more about Marvel and his Enchanted Animals then I do, so it may be a good idea to ask them about Marvel. The website Great Adventure History has pictures and info on the original Great Adventure Mascots. But weirdly, there doesn't seem to be very much info on the other pre Looney Tunes Six Flags Mascot, especially Cyrus Cosmo from Six Flags Over Texas, even though there is an ad with him on here. I find it strange the history of the Six Flags mascots isn't nearly as preserved as the history of the parks' rides.

Hi when will it be release? The Olympic modern mascots?

[@starface2178]

I was thinking what other "monsters" could be and what flavour their cereal could be. The other "monsters" are left are a sea monster (a swamp thing), a zombie, an insect-like creature, a marionette, a witch, a dragon, a goblin, a gargoyle, a slime monster, a skeleton, and a plant monster. I was thinking about a witch character promoting lime flavoured cereal. when making the list of "monsters", she could be a first female character in the monster line up. But it's up to General Mills company to decide. Do you got any idea for monster mascots and the cereal flavours, comment below!

[@junequintana3984]

Hi I just discovered your channel and I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you.

[@BrandManagement]

Thank you for checking out the channel!

[@ScottMcLain77]

How do I get in touch with the person who does this channel? Great video.

[@karithema9ician657]

I had to leave a comment. Very good content.

[@BrandManagement]

Thank you!

[@skunkman9815]

Who’s your favorite monster? Mine is frankenberry because i love strawberry flavored stuff like strawberry milk or strawberry milkshakes

[@stephensmith8316]

I think I like Yummy Mummy the best. But Frankenberry is a close second. I loved the original Yummy Mummy cereal back in the late 80s. The recent re-release back in 2013 was decent, but the original was so much better.

[@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In]

Count Chocula for flavor, but they all have a great look and style.

[@saltysweet4918]

Hi, not sure if you’ll respond to this, let alone see it. But Jim Mcdukas? Was this just for the first advertisement? Every where else it’s Larry Kenney that’s credited as Count Chocula. On a side note, would you happen to have any clue who is behind the voice of Fruity Yummy Mummy, and/or Fruit Brute? I’m making a compilation type art project and this would be very helpful for credits and historical accuracy

[@captaindreadeye6264]

I don't know if you're still reading the comments on this video, but Laura Levine went on to write a cozy mystery series known as the Jaine Austen mysteries.

[@BrandManagement]

That's great! I'll have to look into those!

[@annonymousannonymous9586]

Technically there was a 6th Monster in the group, "Crispy Creature Crunch" cereal, which featured the "Creature with the Milk & Spoon", a parody of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
