Which monster cereals do you like the best?

[Ghost]

You know those fantasy cereals are all so boss cool they'd sell to kids like hotcakes. Their parents would be picketing on Madison Avenue and marching on Congress demanding "something be done" though. Parents these days are like that.



How's your incipient monster cereal collecting effort coming along?

Incipient is the correct word, nascent would be another that would accurately describe it as it consists of very few in box monster related premiums and toys and a few collected boxes over the years.  My brother has General Mills Monster wacky wobblers, the original vinyl premiums, several in box toys, plush dolls, and boxes, etc.

My brother has ... the original vinyl premiums....

Are these the ones he has?

[Ghost]

No the vinyl figures were a send in offer back in the 70s. Here they are: These are not his but they are the same. This picture is from neato coolville's flickr.



here is the offer on the box

Wow! Too cool!

Count Choc & Quisp of course.

That being said, the last time I had Count Chocula it tasted like I remember Cocoa Puffs tasting, although sadly Cocoa Puffs is no longer available in Canada. Neither is Trix. But Count Chocula and Lucky Charms are sold year around.

On Saturday I scored a box of Cocoa Puffs imported from the States at the Nutty Chocolatier on Queen Street. The store carries a lot of treats and snack foods imported from the U.K. and the States:

The Cocoa Puffs tasted like Count Chocula without the marshmallows, which is the same as I remember.

There are still only three votes separating first from third here!

Honestly the only one I've ever tried was Count Chocula in the early 70's and it grossed me out.(And I was a little kid!)
