| − | '''Fruit Brute''' was one of a line of five monster-themed [[breakfast cereal]]s produced by [[General Mills]]. It is also the name of the cereal's [[mascot]], a humorous [[cartoon]] [[werewolf]]. The frosted fruit-flavored cereal contained [[Lime (fruit)|lime]] flavored [[marshmallow]]s. Other cereals in the product line include [[Count Chocula]] ([[chocolate]]-flavored), [[Boo Berry]] ([[blueberry]]-flavored), [[Franken Berry]] ([[strawberry]]-flavored), and [[Yummy Mummy]] (fruit flavored with [[vanilla]]-flavored [[marshmallows]]). Fruit Brute was produced from [[1975]] to [[1983]]. Somewhat unusual for a retired advertising character, Fruit Brute continues to be seen on the occasional piece of official merchandise: in recent years both a resin model kit and a [[bobblehead doll|bobblehead statue]] have been sold in his image. |

| − | A box of Fruit Brute cereal is clearly visible in Mr. Orange's ([[Tim Roth]]) apartment, in [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s [[1992]] movie ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]''. It was also featured briefly in Tarantino's [[1994]] movie ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' during a memorable scene involving the [[drug dealer]] character, Lance ([[Eric Stoltz]]), talking on a [[mobile phone]] to [[Vincent Vega]] ([[John Travolta]]). Tarantino saved a box before the cereal was discontinued in [[1983]]. In both [[film]]s, the cereal is a visual cue for "wolflike" behavior between characters. |
