 Fruit Brute 
From: General Mills
Introduced in 1974 This cereal was described on the box as a "fruit flavor frosted cereal + marshmallow bits." The mascot for the cereal was a werewolf also named Fruit Brute. The cereal made a cameo appearance in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs where it was shown in the apartment of Mr. Orange (played by Tim Roth). Tarantino used the cereal again in his 1994 film Pulp Fiction.  
The following is a transcript of the very first Fruit Brute television commercial from 1974: [ Franken Berry and Count Chocula are slumbering peacefully. A noise wakes them up. They begin to accuse each other of making the noise when a werewolf appears at their window. The werewolf howls. Franken Berry and the Count jump in fear to a hanging chandelier. The werewolf enters their bedroom. ] Fruit Brute: I'm me... Fruit Brute with my fruit flavored cereal, Fruit Brute... part of your nutritious breakfast. Count Chocula (angry): Who are you?! Fruit Brute: Delicious Fruit Brute has fruit flavored marshmallows for the howling good taste of fruit. Count Chocula: Count Chocula's got chocolate marshmallows! Franken Berry: Franken Berry's got strawberry flavored marshmallows. [ The werewolf howls. The chandelier falls trapping Franken Berry and Count Chocula inside of it. Frightened, the two monsters run through the wall and out of their home with the chandelier still around their waists. ] Fruit Brute: Fruit Brute... with the howling good taste of fruit.

All the different sugar cereals that I ate as a kid, this is the one I miss the most. If they brought it back, I'd probably by a case or two, so I had some stockpile! GM needs to bring it back! Comment submitted: 8/21/2012 (#8857) By sigmund

How have I NOT heard of this cereal yet. I loved Yummy Mummy & Pulp Fiction. :) Comment submitted: 5/2/2012 (#7512) By ada4001 They always take the good ones out of production. I was also a Freakies fan as a kid. Comment submitted: 4/4/2012 (#7048)  By bawbde (Team Breakfast Member)
