I knew I'd find someplace else that remembered this!
My only memory of this cereal is the prize a sticker you put around your light switch and it glowed in the dark
I also had the Fruit Brute glow-in-the-dark light switch cover! I loved this creature and his cereal! He has retreated into the darkness due to humanity's ignorant selfishness and corporate greed! But he lives on in our hearts!
This was my Fav of all time! When It was out I only wanted this and King Vitamin when it was out. Those are the best Kids Sugar boxes ever.
AHA! Others who remember this cereal. My sister and I loved it. When they stopped making it we cried. It was a sad, sad day to be a kid.
I loved this cereal as a kid. I wish they still sold it locally. How about Frankenberry,Booberries, Count chocula? I recently tried some Frakenberry from Wal-mart, but it was nothing like the paste taste; they cut down on the sugar:)
i modeled a fruit brute cereal box the first time i used autodesk 3ds max loved this cereal as a child and even saved up the upc codes to get the soap towel and washrag
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel not alone!!!!!!!!!!! I too had the glow in the dark sticker....thought i was alone... fruit bruits, unite!!!!!!!!!
They made plastic squeaky toys of the 4 characters, about 9 inches tall, very good detail. Fruit Brute and BooBerry are harder to find than Chocula and Frankenberry.
No one remembers this cereal! It was the best ever. Unfortunately the healthy conotation of "fruit" probably killed it back then. I am not a fruity kinda guy so much (love the peanut butter and chocolate in milk) but this cereal might've been the best ever. Bring it back!!
why dont we boycott general mills until they come back out with fruit brute
Is it possible that there was a reluctance to buy it because of a gay association with the word "Fruit?"
I found a playing card with Fruit Brute on it and I was talking about it to friends and they all looked at me like I was crazy.
There is a petetion online you can sign to try and bring back Fruit Brute. I've also emailed General Mills.
I wish i could try the cereal i never have and i guess i never will, and yummy mummy is gone to! What is wrong with people these days! At least we still have Franken berry, Boo berry, and count chocula, but i cant even find those! :( Its a sad world...
go to walmart at Halloween time they should have them if not there is something wrong with ur walmart :D
General Mills' attempt at a fourth "Monster Cereal"! Unfortunately, they never made it out of the '70s! (MOST unfortunately!)
BRING HIM BAAAAACK!!!!
The werewolf's howling make the ground shake drives me crazy!!!
