A few months ago, our company installed a pantry with free beverages and snacks. Coincidentally, this morning I went down to discover that Lucky Charms is now one of the eight breakfast cereal options. Having read this thread, I had to have some. It tasted like I remember from my childhood, but the marshmallow shapes were horrible.
Bloody teeth, yes? Am I right?
Seconded.
Is it true that every box comes with a free bar of Irish Spring?
Would it make it easier for you all to accept the bloody teeth if you were to just assume that they had been knocked out with a shillelagh?
I agree. Marshmallow Mateys are far superior to Lucky Charms. The cereal/ marshmallow balance is more balanced and they come in a kichen trash bag sized bag for $4.00.
Yes, and it tastes better than the marshmallows.
I was expecting a story about finding an actual bloody tooth in the cereal, like there had been some horrible accident at the factory followed by some very shoddy quality control.
Interesting word, shoddy. It comes from that part of the world, where the original meaning was for an inferior quality of cloth made out of cloth remnants. And you thought you wouldn’t learn anything in this thread.
I guess so. Honestly they all just look like blobs to me.
I had a friend in college who loved “Marshmallow Mateys”, but he, a math major, called them “Marshmallow Calculus”, because one of the cereal pieces looked like the integral sign.
We all called the cereal pieces in Lucky Charms (or Marshmallow Mateys) “cat food”. Guess the shapes kind of resemble Purina, sort of.
Purina Bachelor Chow 
Exactly. 
You and my kids. The kindest birthday present ever was when my daughter bought multiple boxes of LC’s, poured them in a huge bowl, and proceeded to (with the help of the neighbor kids) sort all the marshmallows into one box. When her little brother opened his box of “Just The Marshmallows” Lucky Charms, he was in heaven.
Hmmm, that same daughter, over ten years later, went to St. Olaf College, just downwind* from the Malt-O-Meal plant where “Marshmallow Mateys” are made.
Yes, the cafeteria had a whole wall of Malt-O-Meal cereals…
Marta masticated Marshmallow Mateys many a morning.
*Had a Facebook group titled: “My College Smells Better Than Your College”
I had a nasty “Omigod, I said that out loud” moment yesterday. I was at the Duane Reade, at the cereal isle, at lunchtime, and saw the Lucky Charms. “*Bluuudy *taith!” I said, in an Oirish leprechaun voice.
“Oh crap! I said that out loud!”
Possibly TMI for a breakfast cereal thread but… when I drink Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut coffee my pee smells like Lucky Charms. That can’t be good.
I am SO sorry I missed that. Could you catch that on video next time?
