Boo Berry


Boo Berry From: General Mills
Introduced in 1973

  • It's often thought to be discontinued, but as of late 2009, Boo Berry cereal is still in production. While Count Chocula can be found in grocery stores throughout the year, distribution of Boo Berry (and to a lesser extent Franken Berry) is sporadic. All three monsters cereals can be found in larger grocery outlets during the Halloween season. Target and Wal-Mart often feature the cereals on endcaps from late-September through Halloween.

Boo Berry cereal is available to purchase online.
Please click here to see it at Amazon.com.

This monster cereal has been described on the box as a "sweet blueberry flavor cereal plus marshmallow bits" and an "artificial blueberry flavor frosted cereal with blueberry marshmallows". Occasionally the marshmallows are referred to as "spooky-fun marshmallows".


Very First Boo Berry Commercial


The following is a transcript of the very first
Boo Berry television commercial from 1973:


[ Franken Berry and Count Chocula are seen arguing in cobweb-ridden, spooky kitchen. The doorbell rings. ]

Announcer: Someone's come for a nutritious breakfast.

[ Opening the door, Franken Berry and the Count are greeted by a floating yellow pork pie hat. The body of a ghost materializes beneath the hat. He's blue and carries a jangling chain. ]

Boo Berry: Hello. My Name is Boo...

[ Reacting to the word "boo", a frightened Count Chocula jumps into the arms of an equally frightened Franken Berry. ]

Boo Berry: Let me finish... Boo Berry. My ghostly good blueberry-flavored cereal, Boo Berry, is part of this complete breakfast.

[ An image appears of a bowl of Boo Berry Cereal, two slices of white toast, a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice. As action resumes, Count Chocula and Franken Berry react defensively, tying Boo Berry in his own clain. ]

Franken Berry: Franken Berry has got strawberry-flavored marshmallows.

Count Chocula: Count Chocula has got chocolate marshmallows.

[ Franken Berry and Count Chocula force the blue ghost out the door and slam it violently shut. ]

Boo Berry: But I've got blueberry-flavored marshmallows.

[ Back inside the kitchen, Franken Berry and Count Chocula continue the argument they were presumably having at the start of the commercial. ]

Franken Berry: Franken Berry!

Count Chocula: Count Chocula!

[ Boo Berry suddenly materializes through the door. ]

Boo Berry: Boo Berry

[ Surprised to see their unwelcome visitor once more, Franken Berry and Count Chocula jump up and down and wave their hands in horror. ]
