The smiley faces are smaller than in days of olde, and the ugly purple color is still there, plus the other colors (green-yellow-orange) are brighter and more flourescent looking. I remember them having a light sugar frosted look, which is now gone. The smileys are almost completely void of sweetness, and have the mild taste of Kix cereal, another GM cereal. All the sweetness seems to come from the marshmallow bits, which are shaped like animals. The overall taste of the cereal has a mild flavor reminiscent of the original, but MUCH less sweet. In the stores I checked (that in recent years carried Quisp, King Vitamin, KA-BOOM) only KA-BOOM remained. They also carry Count Chocula year 'round.

I had Count Chocula right before I got sick when I was a kid and threw it up -- hence never having it again -- Frankenberry i tried once -- did not like.

Post also used to make a really good rice cereal, kinda like "plain Pebbles" -- was it called Rice Krinkles or something? Anyhow, it was like ten times sweeter than Rice Krispies...therefore, yummy! The mascot on the box was a little asian boy -- and he and the Crispy Critters lion had their own segments on a Post Cereals cartoon show. Not just a commercial, a whole half-hour show (it might even have been on in prime-time). Anyone else remember this, or am I trippin'? I remember Ka-Boom tasting very distinctively artificial, almost pungent. It was actually pretty nasty but we kinda liked it at the same time! Frankenberry also had a very strong artificial (and yet still kinda yummy) flavor -- Count Chocula I thought was just bland, not nearly as chocolatey as Cocoa Pebbles, the King of Chocolate Cereals.

Sep 15 08 2:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Regarding monster cereal memories, I was surprised by a box of Count Chocula when it first appeared, thanks to dear sweet Mom. She shopped on Fridays and I always looked forward to digging through the grocery sacks to get the good stuff (the weekend's cereal, the box of Chocolate Vanilla Creme Pop-Tarts, the tin of Nestle's Quik, and the multi-pack of Frito's with the Frito Bandito eraser). Anyway, I spied a box top that read something like "...ocula" but wasn't sure what it was. Mom said, "Oh, that's a new cereal I saw that I figured you'd want to try." Mom's awesome. She'd frequently pick up new cereals for me like Vanilly Crunch and Sir Grapefellow, on a whim that I'd like it (and I usually did). Anyway, thanks to Mom for introducing unsuspecting me to the monster cereals.

It was the best cereal I ever had. Loved it. When I`d go to the grocery, sometimes the store would be sold out. So I figured it was a popular cereal. Anyway in the early 90s, Kelloggs decided to make a kids cereal out of it. They sugar coated the cereal and it tasted simply horrible. Not long after, Kelloggs stopped making it altogether. I never understood why Kelloggs felt they had to "improve" a perfect product.
