Well then cereal corporations need to start targeting adults, because most kids don't even know who Bram Stocker's Dracula is.
And the pun isn't funny. What in world is funny about a goofy looking old man wearing a comb over because his hair is falling out, and a brown suit and mantle? They should have just called "Trumpula" then, after Donald Trump.
"I have a sweet tooth, blaaah!" What is so funny about that? SO do I.
Dracula is 'sposed to be scary.
It seems the only cereals targeting adults are the health-conscious ones, such as Basic 4 and the like. And such cereal boxes are quite boring.
And I have met many a person that doesn't realize the truth of Dracula's beginnings, whether they are child or adult. The same can be said of the Frankenstein story (Mary Shelly).
And yes, the pun is terrible, and most definitely more akin to what you describe than an actual vampire of the Dracula that is often misrepresented.
Perhaps you ought to write an angry letter to General Mills or whatever company it is that makes the cereal. ( I myself do not eat it since I loathe it)
