Donnie Wahlberg loves the Monster cereals, but not as much as we do!

Famed star of Blue Bloods (and, yes, ok, member of that NKOTB band that will be touring again shortly) threw Twitterland a BubbleTweet the other day of him and his morning crew eating Booberry, Count Chocula, and Frankenberry (click click click). Thanks, Donnie!

And for your trick or treating pleasure, here’s US eating the same stuff:

That was my first time *ever* meeting NYCWD in person. We’re NATURALS!

The Mama!!!!!

X didn’t know me then, but he knows me now and I freak him OUT because I’m in his brain.

BOO BERRY Razzle Boo Blitz Fruit by the Foot

A year ago NYCWD and I covered BOO BERRY cereal from a secret location in NYC as part of the Monster Cereal series. Today I’m riding solo with another BOO BERRY product: Betty Crocker’s Razzle Boo Blitz flavored BOO BERRY Fruit by the Foot!

This breakfast inspired fruit flavored snack is 3 feet of amazing blueberry goodness. The intense pear-blueberry flavor sends your salivary glands into overdrive. It tastes like most non-organic pressed fruit products, but with natural and artificial flavors that allow for a distinct blueberry taste.

The Fruit by the Foot is conveniently perforated down the middle length-wise to make it easier to peel off the wrapper. The Razzle Boo Blitz flavor is decorated with Blue #1 so that the entire strip is a blue color, then Red #40 and Yellow #5 are added to cause the blitz effect.

Razzle Boo Blitz is considered a good source of Vitamin C, containing 10% of the recommended daily amount per roll, and is specifically listed as gluten free. At only 80 calories per roll this product hits the spot when blood sugar is low.

A one bowl deduction for not being nutritious, but it’s definitely delicious so it deserves the rest of the bowls.

Cereal Wednesday: Boo Berry Cereal

What is there left to say about Boo Berry that hasn’t been said? It is a sweetened corn puff with additional blueberry flavoring that is a delight to the mouth. As Poppy pointed out, its consistency is a bit like Cap’n Crunch, and while keeping its crispness it does not rip the roof of your mouth up anywhere near to the way the Cap’n does. One of the things about Boo Berry that separates it from the rest of the cereal tasting world is the fact that it does indeed taste like an actual berry (blueberries) as opposed to a mish mash of berry and citrus flavors. This alone is a delight unto itself to be actually able to know what berry your tasting!

Boo Berry is a member of the Monster Cereals Trilogy put out by General Mills. Originally it was introduced in 1973 along with the “Fourth Monster Cereal“, Frute Brute. They already joined the Count Chocula and Franken Berry on the market. Boo Berry isn’t just the name of the cereal, its also the name of the mascot who is a blue ghost with heavy sleep eyes, wearing a red bow tie and a yellow hat.

Unfortunately, while a member of the Monster Cereal Trio, Boo Berry receives very little promotion during 75% of the year. In fact it has limited availability in most areas. Usually, in celebration of Halloween, General Mills makes all the cereals more available in markets across the US as opposed to the year long availability of its flagship monster cereal, Count Chocula. Not surprisingly though, Boo Berry has a relatively strong counter-culture following due to his heavily lidded eyes and laid back attitude that insinuates him as a member of Club 420.

Special thanks to Poppy for the guest appearance and bringing Sweetheart Bear with her! Considering we did it under the threat of deportation to Cuba as terrorist operatives, I think they did great!!!
