Monster Cereal!

I was reading a post by Gerard (Gerard Way--my boyfriend!) the other day on the My Chemical Romance site and he mentioned Frankenberry cereal. Remember that cereal? As soon as I was reminded of it, I realized that it's been a long time since I've seen it around in stores and I wanted the kids to try it--so I actually ordered some on Amazon! Who knew you could by cereal on Amazon?

They offered the 3-pack of Frankenberry, Booberry and Count Chocula so I bought all three. They arrived today!
Of course, the kids were excited that a box arrived in the mail and extra excited that it was something to eat! I want you to take note of Pickle's outfit in this pic. This is her current outfit of choice--pajamas and Hello Kitty boots. She has completely turned on wearing anything other than pajamas. If I try to put an outfit on her, she's begging for jammies within an hour--so I'm going with the flow on this one! When she pairs them with boots, we can still go out and do errands.
Here's the Goose with some Booberry:
Which he also chose to sample first:
Pickle went with the Count:
Patrick asked me to surprise him so I gave him Frankenberry.
I don't know if you can tell in this pic because of the red bowl--but this cereal is BRIGHT pink!

Interesting Frankenberry trivia: "The initial run of Franken Berry contained a dye that did not break down in the body and caused the consumers stool to come out a disturbing pink. This phenomenon came to be called…wait for it…Franken Berry Stool. A new dye was quickly implemented." So now you know!

Some more interesting trivia: Two lesser-known Monster Cereals, Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy have been discontinued.

Patrick read about Fruit Brute (fruit-flavored cereal with lime-flavored marshmallows) and is bummed they don't make it anymore--so he's signed a petition to bring it back!

The other three are still out there--but it's usually hard to find except at Halloween time!

Does anyone remember this?
