Okay. I just can't wait any longer to create a thread on Halloween. Especially since the GREATEST news related to Halloween in decades just came to my attention!

As you may know, General Mills has relegated their "monster" cereal line to only the Fall of each year.

Well this year, they are doing something EXTRA special! They are bringing back...



NO JOKE MY FRIENDS!

Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy ARE BACK!!!

Fruit Brute has been gone since '83! I CANNOT wait to get my taste buds on some Fruit Brute. Halloweenaluia!!!

For those looking for more info on the history of these cereals, check out this video from Forgotten Media:

Thankfully for me, I have 3 kids. So, every year, We dress up as a group of characters. I've been a Safari guide, Mr. Incredible, & Captain Hook.

This year, I'll be a Jedi Knight. Sweet.

i was also thinking about doing a halloween retrospective article, with a more in-depth look at monster party (hence my new sig) as that game was an interesting and bizarre game of my childhood

I doubt that one person alone can dress as Jabba the Hutt. That's a big dude!

Remember the fever pitch that the "poisoned candy" myth reached in the 80's?



Snopes has a breakdown of the history of the "poisoned candy" myths, and real cases.

I want to pick up those 2 revived cereals when they come out.

I remember the poisoned candy myth. It cheated me out of 2 years of Trick-or-treating in 1984 and 1985. When I was 10 and 22 months respectively.
