Fruit Brute

Fruit Brute was a breakfast cereal produced by General Mills from 1974 to 1982. It was part of the monster-themed cereals line, which also included Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry. The cereal featured a werewolf mascot and was known for its fruit-flavored cereal pieces and marshmallows.

History

Fruit Brute was introduced in 1974 as the fourth cereal in General Mills' monster-themed line. The cereal was marketed with the tagline "The Howling Good Taste of Fruit," and its mascot was a werewolf named Fruit Brute. The cereal was discontinued in 1982, but it gained a cult following over the years.

In 2013, General Mills briefly reintroduced Fruit Brute as "Fruity Yummy Mummy" alongside a relaunch of the other monster cereals. The relaunch was part of a Halloween promotion, and the cereal was available for a limited time.

Cultural References

Fruit Brute has appeared in several Quentin Tarantino films, including "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs." The cereal's appearance in these films has contributed to its cult status among fans.
