Looking for the Count - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Asuka{eve} · 10-23-2006, 01:22 AM

Hi guys... I've been here and there and while living in college I have noticed something quite disturbing. Halloween is getting closer and closer and I haven't seen the Count...anywhere. Since the beginning of October I have been looking for Count Chocula but its nowhere to be found. I only had it for the first time last year but I have been hooked since. I've gone to every store and I... can't... get... any... explanation for the disappearance of the Count. I even promised my self I would buy enough boxes of cereal to stuff a shopping cart and this hit me from left field. I was prepared to buy at least 40 boxes. Usually I lurk around the TFP and it feels strange for me to be posting about something quite trivial but this is something I was looking forward to for a long time. Does anyone have the Count where they live? Does anyone know a reason why the cereal is gone? I'm really curious... and I need a new hobby.

Count Chocula?
It's in just about every grocery store, and "Super Store", that I shop at. Now, I haven't seen Frankenberry in a number of years...or Boo Berry in like...forever. But Count Chocula abounds.

Quisp ruled them all, though.

Erm, where do you live? Count Chocula may have been discontinued in certain area.

I live in Washington (west coast). I feel a little stupid for not thinking that it was not just in my area. Also I think I made a mistake. This should have been put in Tilted nonsense.

Dayum, another crazy person from the PNW. That makes at least two of us.

It's not uncommon for items to not be sold in certain areas.

A perfect example is BBQ Fritos.The best chips in the entire world.There is not a single chip I love as much as these.

The problem? They don't sell them in AR/TX/OK so I have no means of buying them.Although when I took a vacation to Florida, they had them at the hotel I stayed at(but not for long).

I hear you with regards to the Count.

When we lived in Columbus, we would shop at Big Bear. They carried all 3: Count, Frank, and Boo. Big Bear went under, Giant Eagle bought them out and apparently evicted them.

I haven't seen them anywhere where I live now. It's sad. Not even the Count, who I felt to be the ubiquitous of the bunch.

However, there is a silver lining. Chocolate Lucky Charms. Man, that has got to be the best cereal eh-heh-heh-v-e-r-r-r-r.

Really? I haven't see Boo, but I've had Count Chocula and Frankenberry within the last few months.
