Choc was not just the first, but also the most popular of the bunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY, July 29, 2010

First of all, nobody told me this cereal was getting discontinued in the stores. Big mistake. I almost went Fruit Brute in my city chasing cars and stealing babies. I don't know who came up with the horrible horrible horrible idea to discontinue selling the physical embodiment of delicious. For the last few weeks I've been eating Cocoa Puffs trying to pretend like everything was okay. Well you know what? It wasn't okay. Eating Cocoa Puffs in place of Count Chocula is like dating a girl that looks sort of like the woman you love. You're only fooling yourself. Count Chocula is the best cereal ever. Period.

I won't go into detail on how amazing this cereal is, because I feel the above comments say enough.

What I will enlighten the lovers of this cereal about is its current availability. I wrote to General Mills Corp about this cereal, and this is what a representative from their Consumer Services department came back with:

Thank you for contacting General Mills. Your comments are important to us.

We are committed to making a difference in the lives of our consumers. Feedback such as yours is important to the nature of our business.

The Count Chocula cereal is a seasonal product, available in the Fall. Please watch the store shelves this Fall for the product to return. The product has a long shelf life. If you would like to stock up in the Fall, check the dates on the packages to see how long you will have to use the product for an extra special treat throughout the year.

We appreciate your loyalty and the time you took to contact us. Please be assured that we will share your thoughts with the appropriate individuals.


In summary: If you're looking for this cereal to resurface, keep your eyes on store shelves once the weather cools down and the leaves start to change colors.

Count Chocula is my wife's favorite cereal. She is currently pregnant and dealing with a lot of nausea. One of the only things she can eat without a problem is Count Chocula.
