So this morning I sat down for my usual bowl of Lucky Charms and I had a flashback to my childhood. I remembered the days when I would get up before my mother and sneak downstairs. Now why was I sneaking? It was because I had a brilliant idea, I really liked Lucky Charms, especially the marshmallows! Let's face it they're the only reason we like this cereal in the first place. The commercial says it all, "Hearts, Stars, and Horseshoes, Clovers, and Blue Moons! Pots of Gold and Rainbows, and me Red Balloons!" You'll notice that nowhere in there do they also mention, "Crunchy little brown things!" So to get back to the present day, as I'm sitting here this morning picking all the marshmallows out of my Lucky Charms box (and not even caring about where the toy is for once) it hit me. Why not just sell a box of the good stuff in the first place. I understand that this may not be a big hit with parents that don't want kids hopped up on sugar all day, but now that I'm in my 30's and free to do what I want I don't feel the need to waste my morning separating my cereal! Anyone else with me out there?
