"Lucky Charms! With Bloody Teeth!"

They're not magically delicious! I grabbed some cereal off the shelf at the deli this morning and missed the Cheerios, winding up--much to my chagrin--with Lucky Charms. I opened it, nervously, and was greeted by . . . I have no idea what.

I can kind of recognize the "blue moons" and the "green clovers" (which are actually clovers stamped on some parellelogram-type shape). But the rest of the charms . . . One appears to be a bloody tooth: a white, tooth-shaped object with a smear of dark pink at one end. To represent the upshot of the St. Paddy's Parade? Another appears to be a kicky 1960s Courreges dress in blue and white, which is highly unlikely.

I tried to nibble on one of the bloody teeth, and it was not magically delicious. It tasted like something a Peep had thrown up.
