#45: Count Chocula
Count Chocula is a beloved cereal that has been enjoyed by kids and adults since its introduction in the early 1970s. The cereal was created by General Mills as a Halloween-themed breakfast cereal, along with two other monster-themed cereals, Franken Berry and Boo Berry.

The cereal quickly became a hit, and its popularity only continued to grow. Over the years, Count Chocula has evolved, with new variations and packaging designs being introduced. Despite facing competition from other breakfast cereal brands, Count Chocula remains a beloved cereal that’s perfect for a spooky Halloween breakfast or as a nostalgic treat any time of the year.
