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?
Fiber One Eye – Failed Monster Cereal
Previous/Next Posts
Jack The Lantern cereal… with orange pumpkin puffs and black licorice balls! Yum!
ewwww… I HATE HATE HATE black licorice.
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. 🙂
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.
Oddly enough, the earwax one wasn’t bad to me. I just hated the grass one.
Oh that one was horrible.
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).
Black jack gum…oh I am sure that is a big seller
I dislike real licorice, too. I liked the red fake kind, though!
“liked” you don’t like it anymore?
What if I put chocolate on black Licorice?
I’d lick off the chocolate!
The only candy I eat now is wine gums. It’s a Wombie Union thing.
You’ll have to send me some.
Licorice ? I love the stuff!
There is always one.
“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!
Well if it were hormonal, I might eat more of it..haha
I don’t think Cheerios count so I can’t answer this.
Depends. Are those really cheerios or dried up Spaghetti O Monsters?
I used to have trouble getting girls to nibble one-eyed monsters too. It’s an acquired taste, I presume.
Not touching that. The comment I mean and Definitely not your one-eye.
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.
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. 😀
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.
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….
hello hello. Who is going to put out the fire next door?
Father Time.
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
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.
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
😀
Love them all. You need to draw one of those.
Th idea of lice crispies is making me feel ill
They become ACTIVE in Milk.
Now that’s a mental picture! Good one NM and Bm’s reply was classic.
I’m sure I’ve seen those somewhere…
George, you’re such a show-off! 🙂
Doesn’t he? He is almost as bad as you…haha j/k
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.
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.
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.
Basic 4? Does it have all the food groups?
You mean like bacon, french fries, ketchup and pizza?
No,
Fat
Sugar
Caffeine
Alcohol
What he said.
No breakfast cereal is as good as my all time fav Frosted Flakes! (It also make a good dinner)
Frosted Flakes for Dinner????
You are my new best-friend-forever! I love frosted flakes for dinner!
What can I say Midtoon? I’m a cheap date too.
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. 🙂
Dont eat cereal. Even as a kid??
Talk about nasty. Oatmeal is nasty. It has a good taste but it feels like snot in your mouth. I can’t eat it.
Then your mom made it wrong.
I love oatmeal.
Maybe you should try the bacon-enhanced oatmeat instead.
“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!
Toe Jam Pop Tarts or
Freddy Kruger Flakes (shaped like his razor nails, with red and green stripes like his sweater). “You better eat your breakfast children”
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Freddy_Krueger.JPG
I would think Freddy Kruger Flakes would be like dead skin flakes.
Either way ….nightmares 🙁
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
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.
Yes, we have Halloween, but it’s not near as scary as downtown Dayton
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.
No competition
Fruit Brute
Freakies
Yummy Mummy
Quisp
Smurf Berry Crunch
Mud and Bugs
Gremlins
ET
Addams Family
Ghostbusters
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.
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.
🙂
You are such a deprived child
This could explain a few things!
🙂
From the Desk of Dr. Binky:
RX:
One box of Count Chocula for Robert!
STAT!
yeah RJ…get out and get yourself some monster cereal Stat.
This might require some ‘new’ milk, too…
or that could be a REALLY scary experience!
🙂
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…
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
LOL. You are on a roll.
Jande and that is why so many cereals fail to catch on. I would buy some Warties.
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.
Sounds so English!
I say! Well… Yes. It was, rather. Being born there, you see.
How about Orange Marmalade? yechhh
I remember Freakies! Ha,ha,ha!
Then you are old MJ…haha
I don’t know. Looks see worthy to me.
Gooey centers and all?
Frankenberry and Booberry! You spoiled little brat 😉
All my mom would ever buy me is Count Chocula. 🙁
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.
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.
Was she subconsciously trying to tell you something?
Nothing subconscious about it. Trust me G you didn’t want Life. That stuff was only good for Mikey.
Life is one of the best cereals ever 🙂
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
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!
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! ^^
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.
Lot of protein and water in eyeballs.
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.
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.
If your soy milk is brown it’s gone rancid… lol
Ok off white
One eye cartoon is very nice.thanks for sharing this good blog..
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.
Snap, Crackle, and Pop brand breakfast ligaments. They even stay crunchy in milk!
Okay Justin, you win! This is the best!!
Lynn likes gross. Great job justin
Shark-flakes is the best cereal 😀
Hate the fin prize though
Cinnamon Creature Crunchies
Swamp Monster Swirlies
Zombie Nombies
Death Eater Delectables…for the Harry Potter fans
Did the kids offer up suggestions
Gosh you guys must be really young! I’ve never even heard of half those real breakfast cereals. I had to do an online search to check if they were real. lol
Some yes..some wishful thinking
bahahahahah.
love it. i actually do eat fiber one cereal.
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
I liked “Count Chocula” as a kid.
I wasn’t really into monster cereal; I was more into monster bowls of cereal!
Failed Monster Cereal: “Living Undead Cereal” with your daily dose vitamin “Zom-B”.
Very funny. Funny take and to the point.
