Those Halloween cereals from your childhood are back on the shelves at Publix this week. I thought it was only Target that sold the Halloween cereals. But Publix had them right in the entry way this morning and it brought me back to the 1980s. Remember those TV ads during the Saturday morning cartoons for Count Chocula, Franken Berry and Boo Berry?
Check out this classic TV ad from back when “Count Chocula” was new!
Well they have more haunted friends now. Have you met Carmela Creeper? I like anything with caramel and apple so this sounds like a winner. As a grown adult with no little ones in the house, I couldn’t bring myself to carry one of these to the register… but I thought about it.
The Halloween Cereals of 2024

Being a chocoholic, this was my favorite of the big 3 Halloween cereals. But as I look at this picture, I am now curious about what I see below it… Junior Mints cereal!? Oh I would’ve been all over that as a kid.

The fact that these are BOGOs right now at Publix makes me feel better. I’m a Count Chocula guy, but Franken Berry would come in a close second. As an adult, I can’t help but be distracted by Franken Berry’s head. He looks like a… sorry, butt head. Now you can’t unsee it either can you?

I like blueberries. I used to pick them with my mom where I grew up in Maine. My fingers would be blue for weeks. But I never was a big Boo Berry guy.
Geno / Q105
This one’s new to me. I don’t think we had this back in the 80s. But I love apple so this could be good.
Geno / Q105
Oh now this isn’t fair. You kids of 2024 don’t have to pick between Count Chocula, Frankenberry or Boo Berry? You can get all 3 in one box. It’s just not fair. This should’ve always been a thing.

Reese’s rules Halloween. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are at the absolute top of the Halloween candy food chain. So I’m down for anything Reese’s. And these look cool.

Ooh the Lucky Charms guy with a dark, demented look! I like it! Lucky Charms were a big favorite as a kid. A few years ago, I found the best thing ever on Amazon… someone was selling nothing but an enormous bag of the Lucky Charms marshmallows… without the cereal. They truly got me. Those marshmallows tasted like styrofoam, but I still loved ’em.

As a kid the thought of mystery color milk would have probably sounded pretty awesome. As an adult, I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I read this. Mystery color milk might make this the scariest of the Halloween cereals of 2024.
