He's Back!

Frankenberry

Yet another reason why Halloween rocks: Frankenberry. Booberry. Count Chocula. The boys are back. $1.99 a box at Target. Limited time only. You can thank me later.

Comments

No. Way. $1.99 a box for all the artifically sweetened goodness and a flood of Saturday morning cartoon watching, eating-cereal-straight out the-box-while-the-parents-slept in childhood memories? I'm on it.

I will thank you now. And then drive straight to Target.

Are they selling them by the case?

WOOHOO! I can have blue milk again!!! You're the bomb-diggity Sean!

Woot!!!! Count Chocula is the man... and of course so are you Sean!!!

That is so awesome! One of my favorite t-shirts when I was a kid was one with an iron-on BooBerry that was the prize in the box.

I remember that iron on! The world was iron-on crazy back then. It sucked when the iron on would start to crack and peel, though.

My teeth hurt with delight at the thought of this cereal returning and so cheaply!


Wow -- I have never seen such enthusiasm on the blog before. I love it. I started this morning with a cavernous trough of Frankenberry. The pink berry milk was sublime.

Marissa-you're right...it was a sad day when BooBerry started to peel around the edges!

Sean-apparently you've hit the topic that we all want to talk about. :)

And then ... I noticed it ... in the upper right corner of the box ... see it there? Look closely ... "Whole Grain." ...

Okay, we got old. All of us. Sigh ... now, where are those prunes.

Yup Luvs Franky

You just gotta love a cerial with the last name as you own. Except for an extra R in bery
