I do not believe I've ever tried Count Chocula.
Never heard of Boo Berry (hehe - "I think I prefer this one to the first, but I don't like it").
Franken Berry? I haven't heard of that one either.
And not heard of Monster Mash (as a food) before either.

They all, well most, looked ill at the end. But they also all ate full bowls of the products. That's not exactly "sampling" to eat full bowls. "I don't like this one, it's too sweet" - dude, you had three full bowls before trying that last one.

hehe - the Irish people trying the food have actually heard of the food (well, they said that for all but the last). I've only heard of Count Chocula. Yet all that is sold in USA but not Ireland?

ETA: I sometimes wonder what other countries think of when they spot "American" food. No, USAians do not all eat (at all for some, or on a regular basis for others) the same highly sugarized food products that get offered up as "American" food.

There 2 other cereals but they are less popular so are not revived every year. Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute. Monster Mash is the most recent creation IIRC.

Upping the game on Jack-o'-lanterns.

Oddly enough, I saw Fruit Brute at the store yesterday. I saw it and tried to figure out WTF I was looking at. One of the problems of playing this game, for Brands, is lessor known brands and store brands play this game as well - using names and pictures. So I was caught in a weird little disconnect - immediate thought 'store brand' but then saw it was General Mills. But . . . I'd never heard of this specific cereal, so how can it be General Mills?

At first glance it looked like a store brand mimicing Count Chocula.

I'm personally at the point now where store brand honey nut Cheerios are my "treat" cereal, with bran flakes of some kind being my go-to for ... ah ... reasons.

How I miss Captain Crunch Saturdays while watching cartoons *sigh*
