Show Notes

Wes and Nick watch this rad ass commercial from the 90s with a Chocolate eating vampire!

Background:

In March 1971, the first two cereals in the line were introduced, the chocolate-flavored Count Chocula and the strawberry-flavored Franken Berry.
Count Chocula is the name of an advertising character for an eponymous breakfast cereal made by General Mills. He is a vampire that ostensibly eats only the chocolate cereal he is named after. His voice and image are an homage to Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Count Dracula. Count Chocula is a benign character rather than a malicious monster.
