'''Boo Berry''' is a variety of the [[monster]]-themed high-sugar [[breakfast cereals]] produced by [[General Mills]] for the North American market . It contains [[blueberry]]-flavored corn cereal bits and [[marshmallows]]. Boo Berry is also the name of the cereal's [[mascot]], a blue [[ghost]] with a red bow-tie and a red-striped yellow hat, voiced by a [[Peter Lorre]] imitator.
==Monster-themed cereals of the 1970s==
In [[1971]], the first two cereals in the line were introduced, [[Count Chocula]] and [[Franken Berry]]. Boo Berry was released two years later, in [[1973]], and [[Fruit Brute]] appeared a year after that, in [[1974]]. In [[1983]], Fruit Brute was discontinued due to having the lowest sales of the four brands. General Mills tried replacing Fruit Brute with [[Yummy Mummy]] in [[1988]], but that too had a short life and was discontinued in [[1993]]. Boo Berry and Franken Berry are sometimes mistakenly thought to be discontinued as well. In reality, their distribution is just much lower and more sporadic than that of the flagship cereal Count Chocula. The best time of the year to find Boo Berry and Franken Berry is around [[Halloween]]. [[Target Corporation|Target]] and [[Walmart]] are among the [[United States|US]] retail stores that have been known to carry these more scarce cereals during the month of October. They can be found year-round in the [[Midwestern United States]] at [[Super Wal-Mart]], [[IGA (supermarkets)|IGA]] Supermarkets as well as online at websites such as [[Amazon.com]].
