Well, I have a brand new bag here. I have already eaten a couple, washing em down with Diet Dr. Pepper. Yum yum, they’re still soft, I think the softest I’ve ever had them. I’m listening to an audio episode of Tales From The Crypt. Cranky, this thread is dedicated to you because you revealed your secret affectionate nickname for me is “Circus Peanut”. Lucky Charms are supposedly derived from Circus Peanuts, so that’s another reason I chose this name. Oh man do I ever love Circus Peanuts. I will not eat any more tonight I don’t think, I will wait for them to harden. Lucky Charms (Formerly MarxBoy) ---

Love your new name. You said that Lucky Charms are supposedly derived from Circus Peanuts. Although I said in the other Circus Peanut thread that you started that I hated them, this sounds like an interesting thought. Maybe I should try putting hard Circus Peanuts in milk to eat as a cereal. How do you think that would taste? ---

Hmm, well you would still have to deal with that legendary Banana taste, which I think is what grosses most people out. I don’t think that the 'mallows in Lucky Charms are flavored at all, just kinda sweet. I don’t think I would eat this either though, Circus Peanuts and milk just don’t seem to be a good combination, unless you’re washing them down with Carnation Instant Breakfast, that’s really good. Do what ya want, who am I to say? Lucky (Not MarxBoy no more) ---

What? You didn’t like any of the names I suggested? (No, I know, they sucked.) Anyways… Circus Peanuts are A-OK in my book. ---

_wipes a tear from the corner of her eye, touched_ Thanks; it’s delightful to find this tribute. Though how are Lucky Charms and Circus Peanuts related, other than both being bad for you, and being made from ingredients that are better left unexplored and unread? I dig lucky charms though. I like how those “marshmallows” are like little pieces of yummy chalk. \*\*I need help[/b ---

Someone in a previous thread mentioned that the creator of lucky charms had been inspired by Circus Peanuts. The little 'mallows are a lot like CP’s without the famous banana flavoring, and a lot smaller. Well, I’m going to bed, but I will have a goodnight CP for you. It’s being held in my teeth now, so I can type this, I am now chewing… mmmmmmmmm circus peanut… swallowed! Good Night Lucky Charms ---

Seems to me that “Family Circus Peanuts” is a marketing combination just waiting to happen. But I don’t know where to go with it… ---

That was the message, the sig was below it. I just wanted to see if it took up too much space and I needed some nonsense to type in there. Sorry for any distress I caused. Lucky ---

Your sig is fine then. I like it. Yeah. Um, just don’t scare me like that again, 'K?
