Monsters Frightful Friends Cereal Has Four Flavors in One Box

— August 7, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Monsters Frightful Friends cereal has been announced by General Mills as the latest addition to its returning Monster Cereal range that will provide consumers with a deliciously remixed option to try out this fall.

The cereal features Count Chocula with Igor the Spicer, Franken Berry with Bennie the Bat, Boo Berry with Meow Berry the Cat and Carmella Creeper with Scratch the Snack on the front. The characters indicate that each of their respective cereals are incorporated into the mix to provide a four-flavor experience in a single breakfast product.

The Monsters Frightful Friends cereal is arriving alongside the individual cereal varieties alike with all five slated to start hitting store shelves this month for a limited time only for $3.50 per box.
