Which of the General Mills Corporation's monster cereals was the last to be released in the 1970's?

The story behind the answer

Fruit Brute is correct because it debuted in 1974, making it the last of the 1970s monster cereals. Count Chocula and Franken Berry launched first in 1971, followed by Boo Berry in 1973. Fruity Yummy Mummy didn’t arrive until 1988, well after the decade.

General Mills’ monster cereals used spooky mascots to sell distinct flavors: a vampire (chocolate), Frankenstein’s monster (strawberry), a ghost (blueberry), and a werewolf (fruit-flavored) for Fruit Brute. Though discontinued in the early 1980s, Fruit Brute later made nostalgic comebacks and even appeared in Quentin Tarantino films—a fun pop-culture hook. Memory tip: “Boo before Brute”—Boo Berry (1973) came just before Fruit Brute (1974), the last of the ’70s.
