Another season of autumn and you all know what that means? It means we all get to experience some new things. Yes, Halloween is great, and seeing the seasons change from a hot summer to a cool autumn is also neat. But, we all know that there is one thing that we love about the coming of October. One thing we all look forward to each and every year. It’s something that takes it’s time to arrive, but when it does arrive, you are so happy, that you could explode with joy. And that is… General Mills monster cereal that they only sell on one month a year.
I know you’re all asking “What in the hell does any of this have to do with horror in the slightest”? Simple. You got a vampire, a Frankenstein’s monster, and a ghost… Perfectly horror themed. That plus having to wait forever just to get a bowl of this stuff is disturbing on its own. Also, if you ate Frankenberry in the 70s, your crap would be pink… boy, that must have blew kids minds back in the day. The monster themed cereals may have been discontinued back a time ago, but back in 2010, they were brought back to the public. All your favorites, including Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry. You could eat them all seperately. Unless you're me, in which case, you get a big bowl, dump in all three boxes, and devour it down, not even regretting the hurting stomach afterwards. I mean, these things are only here once a month, so you’d best enjoy them while they're around. But, back in the 70s, there were two more General Mills monsters that were there for some time, before disappearing, then reappearing, then disappearing again. It’s confusing… So, let’s explain these two forgotten monster cereals, shall we?
So, back in 1974, after the successful release of Boo Berry two years ago, General Mills decided to release a new brand of cereal. This one being called Fruit Brute. The mascot for this one was a werewolf in colorful suspenders that sold kids cereal that tasted like fruit with lime marshmallows in it. This didn’t prove to work well, and he was discontinued in eight years later. But, for every cereal brand that collapses faster than the Roman Empire, another is waiting to take their chance at the spotlight. Five years after the demise of Fruit Brute, General Mills created a brand new cereal, known as Fruity Yummy Mummy. Fruity Yummy Mummy was a mummy (Duh) with colorful bandages and sounded like a chain smoker, who sold another fruit themed brand of cereal, also with marshmallows, only these ones were vanilla flavored, oh boy. But, like Fruit Brute, Fruity Yummy Mummy also met a sad demise, and lasted even less time, lasting only five years before being taken off shelves
Yeah, they both didn’t last long. My guess is that the word “Fruit” being in the cereal didn’t appeal to kids much. Why would you want something that sounds healthy when Count Chocula’s got the diabetes you want at the young age of five? Some time in 2013, General Mills tried to bring these two characters back at one point, but it didn’t go over well. They were gone in about a year, and now they are just forgotten cereals… Or are they? Well, yes, they are. But, they can still be seen to this day. Quentin Tarantino puts some of the Fruit Brute cereal as little cameos in his movies, such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and there are still little toys of Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy on eBay and Amazon. Back in the 80s, you could get these things by finding them inside cereal boxes, but now they can be bought online. I’d buy them, but I’M NOT PAYING EIGHTY BUCKS FOR THAT! There’s also unopened boxers of Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy… But, probably best you don’t eat cereal that’s from the 80s. Also, before I go, one thing. Not sure what part of Fruit Brute’s life this happened, but some time ago, Fruit Brute was voiced by Seth MacFarlane. Yes, the Family Guy, American Dad, and Ted Seth MacFarlane. Let it sink in that the creator of those three things advertised children’s cereal. Take care.

Now, what is one of the most laughably bad fanfics I have ever read in my entire life. Well, I think that that fanfic would be the creepypasta known as Mad for McDonalds.
Now, this story starts with a man who goes to a local McDonalds and starts eating. However, he just keeps eating, to the point where he becomes addicted to it. So addicted to where he goes there all the time, just eating Big Macs and stuff like that. Soon, his family keeps him from going back, so he gets angry and, for some reason, dresses up as Ronald McDonald and sneaks off to eat more at McDonalds only to become a great big fat fuck.
And that's about it. Like I said, this creepypasta, while not even being all that creepy, but is just so bad, that it is so hilarious. But, hey, that's only my opinion. Whats Your Take
