Template:Infobox breakfast cereal
Sir Grapefellow and Baron von Redberry were two breakfast cereals created by General Mills in the early 1970s. These cereals were part of a line of fruit-flavored cereals that were popular during that era.
History[edit | edit source]
Sir Grapefellow and Baron von Redberry were introduced in 1972. They were marketed as a pair of rival World War I aviators, each with their own distinct flavor. Sir Grapefellow was grape-flavored, while Baron von Redberry was strawberry-flavored. The cereals were known for their colorful packaging and playful themes, which appealed to children.
Marketing and Promotion[edit | edit source]
The marketing for these cereals included animated television commercials featuring the characters of Sir Grapefellow and Baron von Redberry. The commercials often depicted the two characters in humorous dogfights, reminiscent of the Red Baron and other famous aviators of the Great War.
Discontinuation[edit | edit source]
Despite their initial popularity, both cereals were discontinued in 1975. The reasons for their discontinuation are not well-documented, but it is likely due to changing consumer tastes and the introduction of new cereal products by General Mills.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
Although Sir Grapefellow and Baron von Redberry are no longer available, they remain a nostalgic memory for those who grew up in the 1970s. They are often remembered alongside other discontinued cereals from the era, such as Freakies and Quisp.
