So I was in the cereal isle...

[James]

Special Halloween boxes for Count Chocula. And what's this? And old friend I haven't seen on store shelves in some time...

Frankenberry!

Frankenberry?

On the side of the box is something about a mystery for kids and retards to solve (Booberry's password is the same as his favorite 4-letter color!), and they show Frankenberry, Chocula, and the just-mentioned Booberry.

Where the fuck is Booberry?

NO FUCKING BOOBERRY.

So much for him being found everywhere around Halloween.

Take the nearest sales clerk hostage until they get you some.

Or make a scene at a checkout and demand to see the manager.

[ziggytrix]

He's not typing this from the store, you guys. :rolleyes

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I thought this was a vacation thread and you had pics of the Cereal Isles.... >:

[Schimid]

Same thing happened to me last night at Safeway.

except i got boo berry.

Boo Berry, Frankenberry and Waffle Crisp bitch >:

[Esuohlim]

The stores around here sell Count Chocula and Frankenberry all year round, but no Boo Berry even during Halloween.

[Jixby Phillips]

The same thing happened to me :(

[Rongi]

whatever happened to yummy mummy :(?

[Esuohlim]

Fruit punch cereal is gross.

Having worked in a grocery store for several years, I can tell you this: a store will NOT, under any circumstances, order an item that they know no one will buy. Each store in a chain typically contains the same core items that people expect, and then tailors the rest to the tastes of their immediate neighbourhood.

They can't just order one or two boxes of BooBerry. They have to order a whole carton of it, and those usually contain 24-36 boxes of cereal inside, costing the store about $50. The stores can't return portions of cartons for credit, so they must either sell all or none.

In an industry that has very slim margins (~20%), they almost always err on the side of caution. I'm sure, though, if you went to a store and spoke with one of the stock managers, you could have them order an entire case of BooBerry for you. Or you might be able to convince them if you said that you'd buy 4-5 boxes right away.

I meant aisle. :(

Chimp, I was partially referring to how Rog said Booberry always shows up around Halloween. And as for the stores not buying cereals they know they won't sell, I can't remember the last time I saw Frankenberry here, so I would have thought they'd have had Booberry too, as long as they were ordering cereals specifically for the holiday.

I don't want the cereal. I just thought it was mean. :(

[FartinMowler]

I don't think I've ever seen Booberry in Canada :/ My kids don't eat cereal :/ they like toast :/ So grow up and forget about a box of stinking purple colored sugar that goes in your pie hole and comes out your ass as toxic crap :)

[Emu]

:/ you :/ sure :/ are :/ a :/ good :/ father :/ fart :/ in

[herbietool]

Not only did the Big Y near me have countless boxes of BooBerry, but it was buy one get one free too. Fo Shizzle!

[FartinMowler]

Hey.. don't get me wrong...I eat cereal (the stuff that help's me be rugular) the kids are just not interested in cereal. It's not a brain washing thing :/

[racialslur]

It's cause you force fed them Wheat Chex as toddlers.

[DeadKennedys]

Hey guys what about Chex.

[Esuohlim]

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I buy BooBerry every week at the grocery store (Wal Mart). My son loves it....

[Mockery]

I think the Boo Berry boxes this year are kinda weak. Last year they were the most awesome boxes I had seen in ages plus they had the new wacky wobblers and t-shirt offers on them. This year, they have some lame puzzle? Thanks for putting forth all that effort this year, General Mills. >:

[Geggy]

you might want to check out target. they sell boo-berry. i bought me 2 boxes a week ago. they've all gone byebye into the shitter as the blue poo poo. i call it poo-berry er-hahahaha!

[hix1122]

I never had boo berry, but i have wanted to try it.


p.s, greggy your avatar is freaking awesome.

[Spectre X]

Did a tentacled spectre from the world beyond try to strangle you and devour you in its ethereal lair amongst ancient boxes filled with whole grain evil?

[RedLeader01]

I love Booberry as well, and I still can't find it around here!
