Fiber One Eye – Failed Monster Cereal


A challenge was posted recently to draw a Failed Monster Cereal.  This is what I came up with.  My favorite monster cereals are still Frankenberry and Booberry.

What are your favorite Monster cereals?  What would you name a FAILED Monster Cereal?

    Jack The Lantern cereal… with orange pumpkin puffs and black licorice balls! Yum!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      ewwww… I HATE HATE HATE black licorice.

      1. George Avatar

        Licorice is the worst taste in the world. I actually have to inspect bags of jelly beans to make sure I don’t get too many of them. 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Have your kids made you eat those Bertie Bot Beans from Harry Potter. Can’t get the taste of earwax out of my mouth still.

          1. George Avatar

            Oddly enough, the earwax one wasn’t bad to me. I just hated the grass one.

          2. Bearman Avatar

            Oh that one was horrible.

        2. MC/Curtis Avatar

          I don’t like black licorice either. I guess I pictured the cereal as sort of a Garbage Pail Kids sort of thing. I’m definitely drawing it now. It might get some notice. Thanks guys!

          Can you believe they have Black Jack Gum? Blech! (Black licorice gum).

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Black jack gum…oh I am sure that is a big seller

      2. Binky Avatar

        I dislike real licorice, too. I liked the red fake kind, though!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          “liked” you don’t like it anymore?

          What if I put chocolate on black Licorice?

          1. Binky Avatar

            I’d lick off the chocolate!
            The only candy I eat now is wine gums. It’s a Wombie Union thing.

          2. Bearman Avatar

            You’ll have to send me some.

        Licorice ? I love the stuff!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          There is always one.

      4. Jande Avatar

        “Licorice assumes a hormone-like activity in the body by prolonging the activity of some steroidal hormones (aldosterone, cortisol, and progesterone)”

        No wonder we either love it or hate it!

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Well if it were hormonal, I might eat more of it..haha

    I don’t think Cheerios count so I can’t answer this.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Depends. Are those really cheerios or dried up Spaghetti O Monsters?

  3. George Avatar

    I used to have trouble getting girls to nibble one-eyed monsters too. It’s an acquired taste, I presume.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Not touching that. The comment I mean and Definitely not your one-eye.

      1. George Avatar

        You set yourself up for that comment as soon as I saw the drawing. You know I keep an office down here in the gutter where my mind hangs out.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          You have the corner office.

    And it’s about time you came back to work and delivered us a post. The day’s almost over, Buddy! I thought I was gonna have to come over to Google+ looking for you. 😀

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Hey all I promise is that I post on Wednesdays and Sundays. I don’t promise a time. Some of us don’t get to slack off at work.

      1. George Avatar

        Hey, don’t get mad at me because I’m smart enough to put my phone on mute while I’m here at work at the 911 call center. We got voice mail. Sheeesh….

    Eyeballs cereal, eww gross. I’ve never heard of monster cereal before. Some monsters can be pretty aggressive. Really angry ones could turn into cereal killers

    1. Bearman Avatar

      That is a famous Halloween costume in these parts. Dress up in a cardboard box decorated like a cereal box and carry a large knife. Cereal Killer.

  6. George Avatar

    I used to love Count Chocula and Frankenberry. I didn’t know I would like BooBerries when I was a kid so i never tried it. I missed out.

    Now what would I name a failed cereal? Hmmm…..howzabout:

    Yucky Charms

    Cinnamon Toes Crunch

    Lice Krispies

    Frosted Mini-Freaks

    😀

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Love them all. You need to draw one of those.

      1. nursemyra Avatar

        Th idea of lice crispies is making me feel ill

        1. Bearman Avatar

          They become ACTIVE in Milk.

          1. Lynn Avatar

            Now that’s a mental picture! Good one NM and Bm’s reply was classic.

          2. Jande Avatar

            I’m sure I’ve seen those somewhere…

    2. Lynn Avatar

      George, you’re such a show-off! 🙂

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Doesn’t he? He is almost as bad as you…haha j/k

        1. Lynn Avatar

          Yeah. Takes one to know one I guess! 🙂

    I reckon Post Mortem Toasties would be pretty freaky.
    How about Ghost Toasties.
    Some of this Fiber cereal is pretty scary any way to some of us old folks. If I want fiber I’ll chew on a rope.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Actually I hate all those fiber cereals but needed to get more and more in my diet. Fiber one (the honey flakes version) has 51% of fiber and is pretty darn tasty. Almost as good as my frosted flakes.

      1. George Avatar

        The best cereal in the world is Basic 4. I can’t find it as easily anymore, and it’s pretty expensive (to me) at 4 dollars and some change for a teeny box, but i do love the taste.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Basic 4? Does it have all the food groups?

          1. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

            You mean like bacon, french fries, ketchup and pizza?

          2. Midtoon Avatar

            No,

            What he said.

      2. Lynn Avatar

        No breakfast cereal is as good as my all time fav Frosted Flakes! (It also make a good dinner)

        1. Midtoon Avatar

          Frosted Flakes for Dinner????

          You are my new best-friend-forever! I love frosted flakes for dinner!

          1. Lynn Avatar

            What can I say Midtoon? I’m a cheap date too.

          2. Bearman Avatar

            I love Frosted Flakes. And I have been known to eat them for any meal.

    I don’t eat cereal so I haven’t a clue what’s good or what isn’t. I do have oatmeal now and then. I guess that’s cereal. Sort of. I’m with you on the black licorice. That stuff is NASTY.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Dont eat cereal. Even as a kid??

    2. Bo Lumpkim Avatar

      Talk about nasty. Oatmeal is nasty. It has a good taste but it feels like snot in your mouth. I can’t eat it.

      1. Bearman Avatar

        Then your mom made it wrong.

      2. Binky Avatar

        I love oatmeal.
        Maybe you should try the bacon-enhanced oatmeat instead.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          “oatmeat” haha. We call that Goetta in these parts

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetta

            I never realized there was such a thing as Goetta!

      I would think Freddy Kruger Flakes would be like dead skin flakes.

      1. Friggin Loon Avatar

        Either way ….nightmares 🙁

  10. Nate Fakes Avatar

    Wow! You totally have my favorite cereals as well! Boo-Berry has always been a fave, but I can never find it anywhere. Count Chocula is typically missing off the shelves as well. Often, I find myself settling for those damn Lucky Charms

    1. Bearman Avatar

      They always seem to have them up here around Halloween. Don’t they celebrate Halloween where you live these days? Time to move back to Dayton.

      1. Nate Fakes Avatar

        Yes, we have Halloween, but it’s not near as scary as downtown Dayton

  11. Binky Avatar

    I liked Frankenberry, Count Chocula, and Booberry. They didn’t have a lot of competition in the monster cereal category, though.

    Fiber One Eye sounds like a real loser.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No competition

      Fruit Brute
      Freakies
      Yummy Mummy
      Quisp
      Smurf Berry Crunch
      Mud and Bugs
      Gremlins
      ET
      Addams Family
      Ghostbusters

      1. Binky Avatar

        We didn’t have any of that! Of course I remember Frankenberry et all from its original inception. Things like Smurfs and Ghostbusters were a generation later.

  12. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Hmmm… I think if I was that cyclops I’d consider hanging onto one of those eyeballs!
    Now that I think about it… I’ve never even tried a monster cereal.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You are such a deprived child

      1. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

        This could explain a few things!

        1. Binky Avatar

          From the Desk of Dr. Binky:

          RX:
          One box of Count Chocula for Robert!
          STAT!

          1. Bearman Avatar

            yeah RJ…get out and get yourself some monster cereal Stat.

          2. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

            This might require some ‘new’ milk, too…
            or that could be a REALLY scary experience!
            🙂

  13. Mark Stokes Avatar

    I’m right there with you guys on the licorice! YUCK. Hardest cereal known to man? Captain Crunch. Even in milk, they can tear the lining off the roof of your mouth! Tastes good, though…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I could never tell if that was the cereal or all the sugar just eating away the roof of your mouth.

    Karbuncle Krispies

    Warties! Breakfast of …uh EYGORES!

    Slimeberry Sweetkakes

    Furball Growlers

    Jeez! This is hard work! lol

    1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

      LOL. You are on a roll.

    2. Bearman Avatar

      Jande and that is why so many cereals fail to catch on. I would buy some Warties.

      1. Jande Avatar

        I never got into the cereal habit. The only packaged cereal my mother bought was unsweetened corn flakes, which became a sodden mass once it was touched by milk. So I usually opted for a cup of sweet milky tea before I went off grudgingly to school.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Sounds so English!

          1. Jande Avatar

            I say! Well… Yes. It was, rather. Being born there, you see.

    Frankenberry and Booberry! You spoiled little brat 😉

    All my mom would ever buy me is Count Chocula. 🙁

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Oh no you are. They were all the same price and I only got those on occasion if they were on sale. Otherwise it was some knock off lucky charms brand with a clown on the front.

      1. George Avatar

        I have never had a bowl of Lucky Charms or Life. And I loved the commercials as a kid. My mom just kept buying Froot Loops for her odd little boy.

        1. Binky Avatar

          Was she subconsciously trying to tell you something?

          1. Bearman Avatar

            Nothing subconscious about it. Trust me G you didn’t want Life. That stuff was only good for Mikey.

          2. Scholar Mel Avatar

            Life is one of the best cereals ever 🙂

      2. Scholar Mel Avatar

        Yeah, we only got it if it was on sale also. If they were all the same price then why in the world did she only buy the one brand? I need to have a talk with my mother.

    Do they still sell Boo Berry? That was my favorite as well. my Brother always love Count ChoKula

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Stores don’t stock it regularly around here but they bring it out for Halloween

        I am going to see if I can find it online, I would love to have it again!

  19. Jay Avatar

    Hmm… fail monster cereals? Let’s see what I can do.

    Medusa’s Pebbles
    Werewolf’s Fleas and Ticks
    Tooth-Fairy’s Flavorless Flakes
    Cannibal Crunch
    Sweet Demon Oats
    Abusive Step-Dad’s Crunch (better finish the whole bowl)

    All kidding aside, Captain Crunch or Smacks > all. Not really monsters, but they taste awesome. Where’d you get the challenge? I want in on the fun! ^^

    1. Bearman Avatar

      First you need to find me on Google Plus and then I can lead you to the promised land. It is similar to the Tuesday sketch that some people do on twitter but I am never around on Tuesdays (usually) to take part. This happens every week day so I try to get in one a week.

      You can also see about the challenges http://geeplusart.blogspot.com/

        I need to get on Google + more apparently. Sounds like fun, I’m gonna have to get on this.

    It’s about time someone showed that monsters can eat healthy too. Or makes us healthy.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Lot of protein and water in eyeballs.

  21. MC/Curtis Avatar

    Ha! I am SO drawing Jack The Lantern cereal.

    I think Cookie Crisp might have a werewolf now.

    I never ate cereal. As a kid I drank milk up to the age of three and after that it made me projectile vomit. To this day the smell of milk still makes me gag. So aside from occasional dry cereal as like a snack food, I don’t know cereal.

    Honey comb is good.

    Now they have soy and almond milk, but regardless of that I think it’s too late for me.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am a convert to almond milk. Never could do the soy (it is brown).

      I could never just drink a glass of milk but sweeten it up in cereal and I am good to go.

      1. Jande Avatar

        If your soy milk is brown it’s gone rancid… lol

    I’m not very creative so “Bear Naked Crunch Balls” is all I could come up with. What? Bear Naked is an actual cereal- look it up if you don’t believe it. I dare ya! 🙂

    Polyphemus does not belong on a cereal box.

    i didn’t really have a fav monster cereal although i love me some Booberry.

    I gotta go with frosted flakes or cocoa puffs!

      I with you on everything but cocoa puffs. I don’t do chocolate or puffs
