'''Yummy Mummy''' was one of five [[monster]]-themed [[breakfast cereals]] produced by [[General Mills]] for the North American market during the later half of the 20th century.
==Monster-themed cereals of the 1980s==
Yummy Mummy was introduced in 1988 in the [[United States]], and [[General Mills]] was planning to have it be the replacement for the retired [[Fruit Brute]]. It was discontinued in 1993. It was sold in some countries as '''Fruity Yummy Mummy'''. The frosted [[fruit]]-flavored cereal contained [[vanilla]]-flavored [[marshmallow]]s. It is also the name of the cereal's [[mascot]], a humorous [[cartoon]] [[mummy]].
Other cereals in the line include:
*[[Count Chocula]] ([[chocolate]]-flavored)
*[[Boo Berry]] ([[blueberry]]-flavored)
*[[Franken Berry]] ([[strawberry]]-flavored)
*[[Fruit Brute]] (fruit-flavored with [[Lime (fruit)|lime]]-flavored marshmallows).
Somewhat unusual for a retired advertising character, Yummy Mummy continues to be seen on the occasional piece of official merchandise: in recent years, both a resin model kit, and a [[bobblehead doll]] have been sold in his image.
