Sweet lord, you people who were first introduced to Lucky Charms got gypped, and big time. The only marshmallows the cereal contained back then were pink hearts, yellow moons, green clovers and orange stars. You didn't have the delicious, teeth-rotting benefit of blue diamonds, purple horseshoes, rainbows, and red balloons. What a dark and terrible time it must have been back in those days. I wonder when they're going to start adding more "lucky charms" to the cereal? They're going to run out of colors soon and we'll be seeing things like mauve unicorns and henna rabbits feet. It's fun to look at this original version of Lucky the leprechaun and see how he's changed over the decades. Enjoy:
1. I disagree. I liked the classic configuration - none of the freaky two-colored marshmallows that taint my bowl now!
