General Mills' wonderful,
chocolate-flavoured
cereal with a one-toothed vampire mascot. Also a source of 5
essential nutrients.
Count Chocula cereal consists of
Pac-Man ghost-shaped
cocoa corn bits with
marshmallow bits in the
shapes of
bats,
lightning bolts, swirled
ghosts, and--my
favourite--chocolate
blobs.

Note:1. If you
eat this
cereal with milk, you're left with
chocolate milk (with gritty bits) when you're done!
2. Count Chocula Cereal rarely comes with
free toys inside since the cereal's amazing
flavour is enough
incentive for
kids to beg their
parents for it.
The other cereals in this General Mills trilogy are Frankenberry Cereal (strawberry-flavoured) and Booberry Cereal (blueberry-flavoured). Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy used to be part of the monster cereals but they were discontinued.
Also, the friendly chocolate
vampire mascot for General Mills'
Count Chocula Cereal. He wears a
brown cape and
cowl, and lives in a chocolate
castle. He also only has one
tooth (presumably from
eating too much of his own cereal).
Apparantly Count Chocula wasn't always friendly. He used to "
vant to eat your cereal!"
