I have always wondered what Smurfberries would taste like ... raspberries, strawberries, cherries, blueberries?
I never tried the Smurfberry Crunch cereal back in the 80s. I wonder what flavor it had or if it was just a basic generic sugar cereal taste with some food coloring.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas...
A Smurf a day...at work rest and play!

Probably like a raspberry-blueberry-cranberry hybrid?

Hi Vic,
I never even thought about cranberries!! Yes, what you have described sounds quite smurfy to me - that would be a really tasty too!
The guys over at Ben & Jerry's should use your idea for a new flavor -- Smurfberry Ice Cream! The icecream part should be tinted a smurf blue color with red "smurfberries" (vic's hybrid mix) throughout. I wonder if anyone would eat it? I know that sounds yummy to me!

BTW, this is a picture of the 1980s Smurf-Berry Crunch cereal... at least Papa looks like he enjoys it!

According to Wikipedia, smurfberries are the berries on smilax plants but no mention of what they taste like.

Just thinking about somehow incorporating Smurfberry Crunch into an EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story sequence as a sort of in-joke to the product commercial itself. Probably one where Greedy shows Empath a type of cereal he and Handy has invented that looks like red and blue smurfberry-type puff balls, and after trying this cereal they kind of brainstorm on whether to call it "smurfberry crispies" or "smurfberry crunchies" or something like that.

That's a cute little picture with Empath. And the cereal box is so cool. I would love to walk into the grocery store and find it on the shelf! Would it come with a free toy inside? Maybe a small Empath badge would be neat...

The cereal box design is intended to be part of an EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story sequence revolving around the introduction of said product into its universe, when the Smurfs end up trying this cereal concoction for the first time, and Greedy even goes so far as to have boxes of this stuff already packaged for every Smurf to have. Interestingly, though, despite Papa Smurf being featured here like he did on the real-life Smurfberry Crunch cereal box design, I'm contemplating on having each Smurf have a box with their own image on the front.
And no, it doesn't come with any sort of prize in it.

An excerpt from my EMPATH fanfiction short story in progress called "Little Sister Smurf Lost":
quote:
Meanwhile, Empath was in Greedys kitchen, trying out something new that Greedy had invented with the help of Handys new cereal-making machine. Greedy handed Empath a bowl full of round pink and blue nuggets, which made Empath curious as to what this is supposed to be.
What exactly is this kind of cereal, Greedy? Empath asked.
Its a cereal thats supposed to not only look like little smurfberries, but also taste like them, Greedy answered. Thats because these were smurfed with the flavor of actual smurfberries in them. Try one and smurf how they taste.
Empath decided to do just that. He took a single nugget of cereal out of the bowl and put it in his mouth. His eyes grew wide as he noticed the taste of the nugget. Its rather sweet, but it does taste like a smurfberry
only a bit crunchy, he commented.
Here, Empath, smurf this with a bit of milk, Greedy suggested, pouring a bit of milk into the cereal bowl and handing Empath a spoon.
Empath scooped up a spoon full of the nuggets with some milk and put it into his mouth. He now noticed that the sweetness of the cereal had increased with the milk added to it, but the nuggets still stayed crunchy. He couldnt help but take another spoonful of the cereal. Greedy watched with delight as Empath ate several more spoonfuls, enjoying every single taste.
This cereal is truly delicious, Greedy, Empath remarked, finishing his seventh spoonful. What exactly do you call this kind of cereal, anyway?
Gee, I was just wondering about that mysmurf, Greedy pondered. I was thinking of smurfing with something like Smurfberry Crispies or Smurfberry Crunchies. What do you think about either of those names?
Empath thought about that for a moment. This smurf would have to go with Smurfberry Crunchies, simply because of how it tastes. Do you have anymore of this kind of cereal in your kitchen?
Just a single jar full of it, Empath, Greedy answered. But if its really that good, then I would smurftainly want to smurf more of this so that every Smurf in the village gets to smurf this new kind of cereal. It would smurfly be a break from having to smurf those bland kind of cereals like the corn flakes and the toasted Os. Painter and Printer said that they would smurf the boxes for this cereal, so now that I have the name to smurf with the cereal, I can have them smurf its name right on the box. Just think of it Greedys Smurfberry Crunchies: a super smurfy breakfast cereal.
Empath laughed at that. Greedy, you sound like somebody doing one of those advertisements on a window-vision program. Its too bad those window-visions dont function anymore, or else you could have had a format through which you could have showed the whole village the greatness of your new cereal invention.
Yeah, well, I do miss those things as well, Greedy said, laughing with Empath at the thought. But can you imagine the kind of adsmurftisment that would smurf with this product? Im already smurfing of having Smurfette, Painter, Brainy, Vanity, Grouchy, Clumsy, and even Papa Smurf be part of the window-vision ad, and we can have the Village Smurphony Orchestra do the music for it. I bet even the Smurflings cant resist waking up in the mornings to smurf this on their breakfast table, with or without the ad.
This smurf only hopes that this cereal wont give them more energy than they already have to get them through the day, Empath humored as he devoured another spoonful of the cereal. It was then that Empath noticed a piece of paper sailing into the kitchen through an open window, landing on the floor in front of them.
Now where do you suppose that smurfed from? Greedy wondered.
Empath picked up the piece of paper and noticed that it had crayon markings on it. It looks like its one of Sassettes drawings, Greedy, Empath answered as he examined the style of the artwork. Its the crude form of a female figure, all colored in purple, with a rather hideous face and sparkly stars coming from her hands, possibly indicating that she is a sorceress or something. And theres a name above the picture: AVENGELICA. Empath suddenly flinched as he continued to examine the picture. This smurf senses that Sassette must have had a disturbing nightmare that she couldnt tell anybody else about, so she had to put what she saw in this nightmare on this paper.
Poor Sassette, Greedy sighed heavily. No wonder shes been besmurfing so strangely all of a sudden, Empath, as if she truly hates our guts for us being male Smurfs and all. I thought my making sure she smurfs everything on her plate before she smurfs her dessert might be the cause of her smurfing that way even towards me.
Theres something going on with Sassette beyond her recent behaviors that this smurf needs to talk to Papa Smurf about, and whats on this piece of paper looks like a clue as to whats happening, Empath reasoned. He handed the bowl of cereal to Greedy as he headed out of the kitchen toward Papa Smurfs laboratory. By the way, Greedy, thanks for letting this smurf try out your new cereal invention. This smurf agrees that the whole village will find it just as enjoyable as this smurf did eating it.

I usually start my day with muesli but I would certainly sample Smurfberry cereal. It is unfortunate that so many have missed the opportunity to try this but at least we get to look wistfully at the boxes.

Very interesting links, Eepē. None of those foods came onto the Brazilian market except Mc Donald's Fried Apple Pie, which has been still sold in its fast food chain here. There's even a variation, with banana filling. About cereals, Kellogg's Banana Frosted Flakes was the only one in that list that was launched in Brazil.
Do you know about any yoghurt trade marks with Smurfs? Here there was one by Chambourcy (Nestlé), which appeared in the 80s.

This is a computerized version of a drawing I made around 2003 of Vanity enjoying a bowl of cereal:
It would be really cool if they came out with an updated version of the cereal as a tie-in to the movie. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

However, I think they should re-invent Smurf Magic Berries and Smurfberry Crunch cereals as well as Smurf pasta!
