How could I have forgotten???

Everyone knows of Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry... but do you remember The Fruit Brute? I can't believe I didn't remember him, but it makes sense! Vampire, Frankenstein Monster, Ghost... and Werewolf! DOY!

I was always partial to FrankenBerry and BooBerry, but I remember Fruit Brute. In fact, if anyone's ever seen Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, they've seen it too.

In Pulp Fiction, when Vincent calls Lance on his cell phone, Lance is eating a bowl of Fruit Brute. Fruit Brute was the first of the monster cereals to be discontinued. Quentin Tarantino has held onto a box and drops it into scenes from time to time. It appeared in Reservoir Dogs too in Mr. Orange's apartment.

Yeah, I've seen too much Tarrantino.

It was basically "Fruity Pebbles", right? That's how I remember it...
