They're Magically Delicious

Yes, it's true. Chatting with a few people from Ireland, I found out on Sunday that Lucky Charms are not sold in Ireland. Shocking, and yet saddening at the same time.

Why don't they enjoy this sugary goodness you ask? Here's how the conversation went:

Irish person #1: "Yea, we don't have Lucky Charms in Ireland. They introduced it a few years ago, but it never caught on."

Irish person #2: "I remember that. No one got them because it was just pure sugar."

Me, thinking: "And pure sugar cereal is bad because...."

Irish person #3: "Right, I mean, who wants marshmallows in their cereal."

Me, thinking: "Uh, because that's the best part! I eat all those other things first so I can end on a high point of marshmallow goodness in my bowl."

I listened to this, then proudly admitted that Lucky Charms is my favorite cereal. I've been dedicated to it since day 1. I remember when all the different shapes were introduced: the horseshoe, the rainbow, the balloon, the pot of gold, the four leaf clover hat, the shooting star (for a complete history, read this.)

Oh you silly Irish. When will you see the light???
