Over the years, I’ve probably eaten my body weight in Lucky Charms. Also, I’m probably at my current body weight because of Lucky Charms.
Nevertheless, it’s probably one of my favorite cereals of all time, not only because of its marshmallow goodness, but also because I believe there’s a slim chance that Lucky Charms will someday bring me good luck.
With all the Lucky Charms I’ve eaten, I’m expecting enough luck to last me for the rest of my life. Oh how great it would be to have that much luck.
I imagine a life where I would find twenty dollar bills on the ground every day, hit a jackpot on each slot machine lever I pull, marry a supermodel/doctor, and sleep on the finest leopard-print Chinese silk sheets around.
Now I have to admit, I wanted that luck to come to me soon, because I didn’t know how long I could keep eating Lucky Charms. When you’ve eaten your body weight’s worth of it, you tend to get tired of them, including all the green clovers, purple horseshoes, blue moons, rainbows, and whatever other marshmallows they have.
However, this boredom with Lucky Charms stopped, while shopping at the national grocery store chain I usually shop at. There I saw the most titillating thing I’ve ever seen. It was so heavenly that you should’ve seen my eyes light up, like a teenage boy flipping through an issue of Playboy that he stole from his father’s “secret” stash, when my eyes gazed upon the boxes of Chocolate Lucky Charms on the shelf.
I picked up the box and stared at it, like I had found the Holy Grail of Cereals. Then I turned the box over and read in big, bold letters, “The Secret is Out!â€
Then I thought, “Secret? Out? Holy crap! Lucky the Leprechaun is GAY!â€
Well I read the rest of it and it turns out that he’s not, but my gaydar says he is. Come on, rainbow marshmallows?
So what’s Chocolate Lucky Charms?
Imagine combining the marshmallows from Lucky Charms with the cereal part from Count Chocula. That delicious combination gives us Chocolate Lucky Charms, or what I’m now calling, “Heaven in a Bowl.â€
It’s so good, I can’t contain myself.
Oh my goodness, the marshmallows!
Oh my goodness, the chocolatey milk!
Oh my goodness, why didn’t they come up with it sooner?
Oh my goodness, I ate a whole frickin’ box in two days!
Oh, those geniuses at General Mills. I would kiss them all on the lips, if they were all in my room, if I weren’t munching on a mouthful of Chocolate Lucky Charms, and if they were all women.
But for that to happen, I’d have to be lucky.
Item: Chocolate Lucky Charms
Purchase Price: $2.50 (on sale)
Rating: 10 out of 10
Pros: DAMN good. Made with whole grain. Chocolatey milk. Marshmallows.
Cons: No luck, despite the pounds of Lucky Charms I’ve eaten. Why didn’t they come up with this idea sooner? Lucky the Leprechaun is still in the closet.
Made with whole grain? That is hilarious. Sure it has pounds of sugar, but it’s whole grain so that makes it nutritious. Children and hen-pecked husbands everywhere rejoice!
Ohhhhhh…I have to go out and find these. I hate Lucky Charms, but the Spouse Thingy loves them, and these will make his head pop!
Perhaps this is a sign that all that luck you’ve built up is beginning to take effect…
I guess I’m not seeing the breakthrough in cereal technology here… isn’t this just Count Chocula with colored marshmallows? In fact, at least the (dark) marshmallows in CC are chocolatey-flavored, this seems like one of those, “hmm… only half a bowl of each cereal left, better combine them” moments – fine in a pinch, but less delicious than if eaten separately.
That said, I’ll probably grab a box, just to be sure
Lucky charms are good but Captain Crunch is better
OMG! I love it, i’m 22 and still have Lucky Charms in the morning before starting my day and going to work. In fact I had some today, but the regular kind. I cant wait to try the chocolate!
Conan O’Brien was eating them right out of the box during his show one night last week.
alisa – It seems like ALL of the General Mills cereals are now made out of whole grain. Well I guess now I can depend a little less on Metamucil to get my fiber.
Thumper – They made my head pop and made me buy three more boxes.
Bun-Girl – Now that I think about it, maybe I get bad luck with Lucky Charms.
Mike – It is simple, but sooo delicious.
Bernie – Captain Crunch is in my Top 10, but I hate when the roof of my mouth gets ripped up from eating it.
Tara – Yes, that sugar comes in handy in the morning.
Frank – Yeah, and he got a free bag. Wassup with that? I had to PAY for my box, too.
A 5 out of 5? This must be good!!!
lord a mercy, this is the best news i’ve had all week.
I don’t recall seeing a 5 out of 5 before!
And you’re right – why did it take them SO LONG? 🙂
akiko – Damn straight, it’s good!
kimdog – Sadly, eating Chocolate Lucky Charms has been the best thing to happen to me this week.
Webmiztris – I believe they’ve always had it, and they’re keep it to themselves. I wonder what other crossover cereals they’re hiding from us.
I’ll have to try these. Anything that makes the milk chocolatey sounds good to me.
Ryan – Any cereal that makes the milk chocolatey is a good cereal in my book.
