Fruit Brute was one of a line of five monster-themed breakfast cereals produced by General Mills for the North American market. It is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a humorous cartoon werewolf. The frosted fruit-flavored cereal contained lime 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 statue have been sold in his image. Quentin Tarantino used Fruit Brute cereal as a prop in two of his movies. It is seen in "Mr Orange's" (Tim Roth) apartment in Reservoir Dogs and "Lance" (Eric Stoltz) is seen eating it in Pulp Fiction.
