The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

It's that time of year again. No, not Christmas. Time to buy cereal. A certain special cereal.

Yeah, Count Chocula's open.  I couldn't help myself.
It's become a tradition around my home to buy a box of each of the Monster cereals each year.  When my daughter went off to college, we bought her a box of each and shipped them off to her dorm.  She later told me she used a measuring cup to ration out servings to each of her friends.

That was also the year the decided to rerelease two other Monster cereals: Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute.

I hadn't heard of them before, either.
Halloween is my favorite holiday.  You get to dress up as something completely different, eat candy until you barf and then, for food that's good for you (relatively), you have the Monster cereals.

I've already sent three boxes to my son, who is now in college himself.

Now, my daughter tells me she mixes all three flavors together and eats them all at once.  I think I hear my cereal bowl calling me...
