For the life of me, I just can't figure out why General Mills won't give us this cereal with it's original flavor? They are fully aware that the fans want it. I just don't get it.

My 2 rating is for the rereleased Frute Brute not the original Fruit Brute. The new version has an awful Cherry flavor.

It's BACK (or was) but like all the monster cereals (and many other kids' cereals nowadays, i.e. Pebbles, Corn Pops, etc.), the recipe changed for the worse. The cereal itself takes on the texture of soggy styrofoam (due to the switch from oats to corn, and not being "frosted" like the old cereal) in short order, and the flavor is way more subdued than it should be. Still, it's probably the best of the new monster cereal line, but that's not saying much. Shame, shame.

Definitely not like it used to be. Way too glazed and too much corn syrup. Probably used to be made with real sugar, not that corn syrup junk. Compare ingredients if you can get them anywhere. Even the grain they use is different, now it's all corn ingredients. I thought it was cool to see it out again. I just wish it was made the same way as it used to be.

Probably the most fondly remembered cereal from my childhood. I voted for it best of all time. The 2013 version is not the same cereal but I love the retro box art (Target) and still felt very nostalgic buying a box of Fruit Brute again.

Saw an old episode of Rhoda over the weekend. Brenda was eating Fruit Brute for breakfast although they had a different name on the box but the werewolf was the same. It was from 1976.

Had this only once as a child; it didn't have the appeal of the other Monster cereals.

Fruit Brute was my favorite. I remember the box being green though.

All the different sugar cereals that I ate as a kid, this is the one I miss the most. If they brought it back, I'd probably by a case or two, so I had some stockpile! GM needs to bring it back!

How have I NOT heard of this cereal yet. I loved Yummy Mummy & Pulp Fiction. :)

They always take the good ones out of production. I was also a Freakies fan as a kid.

The cereal made a cameo appearance in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs where it was shown in the apartment of Mr. Orange (played by Tim Roth). Tarantino used the cereal again in his 1994 film Pulp Fiction.

Bob Newhart ate Fruit Brute out of the box on an episode of the old Bob Newhart show. With his deadpan speech and mannerisms it was funny, a dry middle-ager eating a kid's cereal. It goes to show that the name Fruit Brute is funny. The cereal is not very good, however.

This was always my favorite of the monster cereals. When I saw a box of it in "Pulp Fiction:, I hoped that meant they were bringing it back, but no such luck. Too bad. Fruit Brute would have torn out Count Chocula's throat.

I wish they would bring this back around for Halloween like they do Boo Berry. It would sell right? Just for the novelty if not the taste. I'd buy a couple boxes.

Terrible for children, due to the tart lime marshmallows.
