Exodus Part 2


Shortly after the release of Frankenberry, General Mills released a blueberry cereal appropriately titled Boo Berry in 1973. That's him up there. Isn't his little hat just the cutest little thing? Way back then, they didn't even call them marshmallows they called them "sweeties" who knows, maybe back then they didn't actually qualify as marshmallows. Today I can vouch for them that they are indeed marshmallows. Boo Berry's voice sounded Peter Lorre ish. He (the cereal) is also referenced in an episode of Family Guy when Peter sees Sandy Duncan in a grocery store in the cereal aisle he says to her "Get the Boo Berry." Although Frankenberry turns the milk pink this cereal has the distinction of turning you mouth a very lovely shade of blue!
