Wow! This has been some of the most entertaining posting that I've read in quite some time! In Washington state, we have a chain of stores called the __________ (your town name on line) Grocery Outlet, for example, in my town it's the Bellingham Grocery Outlet. Anyway, they get all kinds of awesome, funky, essoteric and nostalgic food items. Things like Captain Crunch with Hebrew writing on the box, or Top Raman in Ukranian packaging. They quite frequently have all three of the 'main' undead cerials, and they're quite reasonably priced. A large box goes for about $2.50 or so. I haven't eaten them in ages, but as a kid, it was mandatory in October to eat any one of the three (I loved Boo Berry!) and watch Scooby Doo on Saturday mornings before the parental units even thought about being awake! Good times with undead cerials. I hadn't heared of the Honey Monster, but I'd give it a shot... the fruit mummy was interesting too. And I'll ditto the Fruity Pebble comment, as it kind makes you feel undead too. One last thought, who was the German chick a few years ago who sang the song '99 luftalunes'? That song translated is 99 red baloons... red baloons are good.
