General Mills Boo Berry cereal is a very sweet cereal. There’s far more sugary sweetness than berry flavoring to this cereal, and that was disappointing.

I found this flavored water from PurAqua, and yes, it’s spelled “frut” as opposed to “fruit” on the packaging for some odd reason, to be more refreshing than flavorful.
