is NO model kit for Yummy Mummy but maybe Mojo Resin might produce one, one day. |

couldn't hurt to ask, right? |
| About the Cereal |
| Yummy Mummy
was a strange Monster cereal to try and figure
out. Some folks don't even think of him as an
official cereal of the Monster's lineup. This is
absurd because during his run, he was advertised
(on the back of the cereal boxes) along with all
of the other Monsters in the lineup. You might
also wish to note that upon Yummy Mummy's
release, all of the Monster Cereal boxes had the
same look about them, they were uniformed and
this includes Yummy Mummy.
Yummy
Mummy first hit the store
shelves in 1987 and when I first seen him I was
excited (to say the least) to try this NEW
Monster Cereal. What I found was that the cereal
itself was the same recipe that was used by our
old pal Fruit Brute.
The only difference that I could find in the
cereal was the marshmallows. Rather than the
green (lime flavored) marshmallows that were used
in Fruit Brute,
General Mills added a yellowish colored
marshmallow with a STRONG
vanilla flavor. The vanilla was so strong that it
did almost make it taste like a different cereal
but we "Hard-core"
Monster Cereal fans couldn't be fooled. Yummy Mummy
made his last trip to the grocer's shelves in
1992. I'll give General Mills an "E"
for effort because at the very least they were
showing attention to our beloved Monster Cereals
but that vanilla ruined a cereal that was fine in
the first place, (back when it was called Fruit Brute).
The reason that these cereals were
discontinued is because there was a lack of
advertising on General Mills part, not because
they are dissatisfying in taste. The reason that
the surviving Monsters can't be found very often
(except around Halloween) is because of a lack in
advertising and promotion on General Mills part. If you'd like to see Yummy Mummy (or
any of the other Monster Cereals) back in your
local grocery store, contact "General Mills"and
demand your Monsters! |
