Ah, yes, Fall—the time of year when all-things-pumpkin (& pumpkin spice) appear. :cheer:

Not that I’m complaining; I happen to love pumpkin as much as the next person.  I could eat pumpkin pie 24/7, as long as it was spicy enough. :squirrel2:

But since I can technically get pumpkin pie any time of year, its seasonal appearance doesn’t thrill me nearly as much as this:

That’s right—Fall is not just pumpkin season, but Count Chocula season! :dancin:

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned my love of & mild obsession with Count Chocula before or not.  I haven’t had it in a reealllly long time because I was pretending to be an adult & eating more grown-up cereals like Kix or Rice Krispies. :snowball:

But then I gave in to temptation & bought some Lucky Charms…which is apparently a gateway cereal, because the next thing I knew, I was searching for Count Chocula like it was a dropped contact lens. :shocked:  Never did find it, though, & a bit of research informed me that Count Chocula—as well as its sister (or would it be brother?) cereals, Boo Berry & Franken Berry—are seasonal.  Available at only a certain time of year.

I do not approve of this, in case you were wondering. :windy:

But since they are available only once a year—right now, as a matter of fact!—you can imagine my reaction when I spotted them at the grocery store.  Yeah, it was pretty much a spectacle that attracted a lot of attention, but what the heck do I are? :jumping:

And I picked up an entire pallet—14 boxes—to bring home with me.  It may or may not be my only Count Chocula purchase of the season…& you have no idea how hard it was for me not to Buy All The Cereal!!! :bashful:

So if you’re a fan, get out there & stock up on your favorite monster cereal now!  There’s no telling how long it will last. :squirrel:

   I was never one for these kind of cereal. But I applaud those who like them. My fav cereal was always Kellog’s Corn Pop, Frosted Flakes and Rosin Bran.. But hat’s off to you.. Now I am a lover of Pumpkin too and I just had a Pumpkin Spice donut from Tim Horton’s yesterday.. Enjoy :cheer:

   I have to admit that I’ve never actually had Count Chocula before. I think sugar-filled cereal was one thing, but my parents wouldn’t let us have chocolate for breakfast. But I love that you bought a whole pallet of the stuff! Got to stock up since you can only have it once a year!!

   i used to love Frankenberry, but haven’t seen it on shelves here in years, wonder if Canadian stores will have Count Chocula, i am sure the grands would love it.

   good for you Heidi, i hope it stays fresh. i wouldn’t have the space to store 14 boxes of cereal. MOL!!! it is hard enough to find a place to store the month’s supply of kitty foods. :sunflower:
