Wow. This is a groundbreaking cereal.
Why? Because with this, Lucky the Leprechaun has become the first Irelander in space. And, for some reason, he leaves his hat on while wearing a space helmet. C’mon General Mills, show us those luscious ginger locks!
These new Galactic Lucky Charms debut this month, alongside four other GM cereals already covered on this blog: Apple Cinnamon Chex, Ghostbusters Cereal, Almond Cheerios Oat Crunch, and, of course, Dulce de Leche Toast Crunch.
Galactic Lucky Charms are pretty straightforward: they don’t change the cult-classic Lucky Charms formula, instead just adding three in inter-(and entirely)-stellar marshmallows shaped like planets and a rocket ship. I think these marbits look great and very appetizing, as they remind me of the kind of impossibly immaculate model ideas they put on Play-Doh packaging. I also like the strange amorphous shadow lurking behind Lucky on the packaging, suggesting some sort of calamitous, Giygas-esque antagonist whom Lucky will soon slay with the reality-altering power contained within these three arcane marbits.
Well, hopefully, at least. Sorry, I get pretty headcanon-y when I’m hungry.
