FRUIT BRUTE! The First one!

[JonMatt62]

don't go dissing fruit brute.....I ate it faithfully while it was on the market--at least a year-- and I recall it being quite tasty with awesome "free insides". It made me the creative fruit I am today!

[julzdrums]

It seems today that fruit bruite will always be associated with quentin tarantino forever

[Dreaded88]

I remember eating this cereal and getting sick! Apparently I wasn't the only one, as this cereal was pulled off the market almost as quickly as it came out. I remember my mother making a big fuss over it because the orange and lime flavored marshmallows were curdling the milk!

[clearflower]

I can't find anyone that ever ate Fruit Brute. I even remember those monster disco records that came in cereal boxes and the only fruit I saw on them was Frankenberry. I mean, lime marshmellows? Yeeech.

[bsczap]

It's like they were competing with their own cereals.

[Sandypantsthegreat]

"I'm me"

[kilkolio]

if anyone re-watches pulp fiction they will see lance (the drug dealer) eating a bowl of fruit brute in plain sight

[dutch04]

@kilkolio Only if it is the widescreen version otherwise it is just out of the picture. BTW that box was used in Reserviour Dogs as well.

[inframan7]

I remember eating that delicious cereal damn them for taking it away.. like the food coloring made some one sick or something sheez ...... OH yeah it did to a lot of people but I say FUCK those idiots I want that cereal back ill take my chances.......

[kodiakfred140]

They eat this in Pulp Fiction

[meadows6278]

why :.(...

[thechaserv97]

What happened to this guy. Boo berry for the win

[cstoczyn]

Long Live Lon Chaney, Jr.!!!!

[cstoczyn]

RIP Lon Chaney, Jr.

[cstoczyn]

RIP Wolfman

[cstoczyn]

Long Live The Wolfman!!!!

[cstoczyn]

Lon Chaney, Jr. Should See This!

[cstoczyn]

Where's Boo Berry When You Need Him?

[cstoczyn]

Poor Frankenberry

[cstoczyn]

Poor Count Chocula

[hgdagr8one]

HALLOWEEN IZ FREAKIN' AWESOME!! Fruit Brute, why did he have to go? Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy should've had a "fruity" monster competition to see who would rein supreme :)

~Jus' a Happee Go'Luckey thought

[samsungcaptivate]

I saw this in pulp fiction

[animehunter23]

funny how only like a decade or so later the mummy tried to sell this and failed as well

[animehunter23]

[ralphieboogerbottoms]

I had a glow in the dark Fruit Brute light switch cover out of the box. One of my favorite all time cereals

[taurnguard]

Later, Fruit Brute had a monster change operation that went bad. He was so badly damaged and bandaged that they renamed him Yummy Mummy.

[marioroxmysox]

The animation of the Fruit Brute Wolf's head reminds me Chuck Jones of the later years; example: Thomas Timberwolf.

[marioroxmysox]

@marioroxmysox I forgot to mention about the design.

[RetroToledo]

@marioroxmysox It's an interesting design. I thought more of the cat seen in the cartoon bit Chuck did in "Mrs. Doubtfire" myself.

[jmmm608]

when he said FRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UIT!

I will say FRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUIT!

cause its FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUIT BRUTE!

yum yum yum its FRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­IT BRUTE!with fruity masrmellows :D

[Mastercylinder32]

this was not as good as Frankenberry imho. but due to the novelty I conned my mom into buying a couple boxes of it.

[Seishae]

Fruit Brute seems like the most approachable of all the horror cereal breakfast mascots.

[TheKingZexion]

Why was Count Chocula asleep at night? Hes a bloody vampire

[doobiesmoke15]

@TheKingZexion and why does he have to share a room with Frankenberry? He a fucking Count for crying out loud! He should have his own castle

[RoninRen]

I know both fruit brute &fruity yummy mummy are unemployed but, theres no reason why they can't hang out with Count Chocula, Frankenberry&Boo Berry as they would still be friends in commercials, or even comics &I would love a gill-man cereal(Creature from the Black Lagoon)

[perun1nj]

Fruit tastes better than chocolate and strawberries

[superduperdrew12345]

@perun1nj strawberry is fruit.

[perun1nj]

@superduperdrew12345 I know, that, i just think its funny that they never specify what kind of "Fruit" is in Fruit Brute

[ironbuttermilk]

Fruit Brute failed cuz he didn't have a Classic Hollywood voice immitation. Count Chocula=Bela Lugosi, Frankenberry=Boris Karloff, Boo Berry=Peter Lorre.

[11razorwire]

Hey General Mills: Bring back Fruit Brute!!!

[101Volts]

Most comments I read from people who claimed to have eaten this cereal said "I didn't like it". Makes me wonder just how sour the lime flavored marshmallows were.

[ECN451]

One of my favorites. Then they axed him and made Fruity Yummy Mummy ( also got canned.)

[Nanaman12345]

Soon after filming, Fruit Brute got a call from his agent. "Things just aren't working," she says. His dreams broken, Fruit goes back to his daytime job, only to be fired for taking too many cereal breaks and disrupting fellow workers with his howling. He looks for a new job, but there isn't any that requires "Must love cereal" or "Must howl loudly your first name."

A day of hate and disappointment, Frute Brute returns home to see his wife in bed with someone else: Count Chocula. BITCH!

[BklynBryan]

General Mills should bring back Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy next Halloween!!!

[StevieGreig1]

@BklynBryan yeah and maybe they could make an apple cinnimon Creature from the black lagoon cereal.

[WrathOfTheGate87]

@StevieGreig1 creature with the black macaroons, robot chicken

[whymeweimie]

love me some fruit brute... 

[xskywarpzero]

YUMMAY MUMMAY

[jcp1977]

FRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUIT!!­!!!!! I just love the way Fruit Brute howls

[PuppyXz]

@jcp1977 FROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[MrMusicfreak48]

@PuppyXz QUIET!

[PuppyXz]

@MrMusicfreak48 NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fishjohnburg]

I wanna become a werewolf at full moon.

[dvskore]

Oh my... This brings back memories.

[67nairb]

I remember this commercial. What year is it from?

[Dalmation09]

i never even heard of this

[leetaken1]

this cereal died out in 1982 they stopped selling it. it wasnt too bad

[RetroToledo]

@leetaken1 Sad I would've been 4-5 then.

[doobiesmoke15]

FRUIT BRUTE, sound like a name for a gay porn star!

[bryankillsu]

this is the only commercail with fruit brute but thes no boo berry or yummy mummy. why are frakin and count in then all tho who cares about them.!.

[alandpal79]

Ah back when cereal commercials used to tell stories. I do love the retro cereals. I never had this one though. Grew up in the 80s into 90s and never saw it. Fun fact a box of Fruit Brute is visible in a scene in Reservoir Dogs.

[mohinderbauer]

@alandpal79 Eric Stoltz is seen eating Frute Brute in Pulp Fiction too. Also, Kaboom cereal appears in Kill Bill Vol. 1 in the scene where Uma fights Vivica Fox.

[werewolfsfury]

they should have kept him

[FilmAcolyte]

He reminds me of the Cookie Crisp Dog

[richroland]

@FilmAcolyte My father, Steve Roland, provided the voice to both Fruit Brute and the Cookie Crisp Dog! You have a great ear!

[FlowCell]

@FilmAcolyte

Funny, the Cookie Crisp Dog was replaced by a wolf.

[superduperdrew12345]

@FilmAcolyte i think it was a wolf like this one...

[cstoczyn]

@FilmAcolyte They Must Be Distant Cousins!

[blackperson]

cool

[SilasRockefeller]

and all other cereals are instantaneously rendered obsolete.

[cstoczyn]

@SilasRockefeller Why?

[deftmahatma]

amazing... I love it!

[doobiesmoke15]

He was a cool character, I wonder what other monster themed cereals they could come up with?

[Bertonator]

Fruuuuuuuuuuuuit! LOL!
