Baron Von Redberry was a cereal created by General Mills around 1972 that featured a World War I era German pilot. The cereal consisted of berry flavored oat cereal with sweet berry marshmallows and tasted strongly of fruit punch.
Baron Von Redberry was the arch nemesis to Sir Grapefellow (another General Mills cereal brand). In the vein of the cereal rivalries Quisp & Quake and Count Chocula & Franken Berry bickering over which one was better, Redberry would proclaim, "Baron Von Redberry is der berry goodest!" and Grapefellow would counter, "Sir Grapefellow is the grapest!"
