Ingenious

Lucky Charms is one of those cereals always on the cusp of cereal greatness but never quite there. You may buy it once in a blue moon, when you have a craving for those little colored marshmellows. Or you may get it for purposes of nostalgia even though it was your sister's favorite cereal and thus somehow tainted. (Your nostalgia may vary.)

But imagine my surprise when recently I came across Chocolate Lucky Charms! The dude who came up with that ought be promoted. Some see cereals as they are and ask why? Others see cereals as they could be with chocolate and say, why not?

This helps refute the fallacy that nothing is as good as "back in our day"! Modern progress occasionally does improve things. Kudos to General Mills for refusing to rest on their cerealic laurels and for providing a replacement for Count Chocula, which I can't find anymore.
