Halloween Countdown: Spooky Lucky Charms!

I really want to get some of the Halloween cereals out of the way quick, because even with the total count collected thus far at eight, I have a sneaky suspicion they'll be more soon. With that, today's Countdown entry centers in on Spooky Lucky Charms, featuring Lucky the Leprechaun in a bat costume and marshmallows shaped like spell books. It's better than the Kellogg's Halloween cereal, but we'll see how it holds up against Count Chocula and pals soon enough.

Think of the oat pieces that no one eats

That reminds me; Lucky actually brought this up once when he showed the oat pieces leaving the bowl in a blubbering, miserable single-file line, because they were tired of being outshone by the marshmallows. In response, Lucky frosted over the oat pieces. I don’t know if that "stuck" but I haven’t heard of the deal since.

I want to make a really off-topic comment, but I’d feel bad doing that, so I’ll disguise with some marshmallow junk. As a vegan, I really don’t eat a lot of Lucky Charms – more like none at all. However, I do have a certain appreciation for any cereal that attempts to appear spooky through the addition of small, sugary croissants.

Okay, now on to the important stuff. A quick search of the site reveals that the cassette "Hulk Rules!" has never been mentioned on X-Entertainment. I have now remidied this great attrocity. A long explanation of this tape is not for me to give (which is exactly what Matt is for), but I will reveal that the tape consists entirely of songs by and about wrestler "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. The tape is certainly worth any effort you may need to go through to track it down, though I found dozens of copies proudly displayed in the local dollar store. For the complete lyrics of the tape, click my name or go to http://www.angelfire.com/ny/lowbrow/lyrics.html

I just read through my post and thought it seemed like it might possibly confusing even without the misspellings and left out words. It’s late and I haven’t really slept in weeks – maybe months. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that although I’m sorry for any confusion regarding the above post, there should be no confusion regarding your need for Hulk’s tape. Yes, "your need." YOU. You need it. Read the lyrics; buy the tape. I must now depart in attempt to battle insomnia once more.

Lucky is the man.

He can sell any holiday with ease.

I await Kwanza Lucky Charms and the sure fire Labor Day Lucky Charms with no white marshmellows.

Big G offered Lucky a yacht…with horns?

Where’d they get one of those? Do they have a distributor who happens to be a Viking?

(in other news, Choc, Frank, and Boo have all been sighted at Target Greatland in Reno, where my illustrious roommate whose X-E handle is a mystery to me works)

Nice article as usual Matt keep the good work, by the way anybody knows if you can still buy the monster cereals directly from the general mills page?

Is that a trick or treat bag lucky is holding? If I were lucky I wouldn’t be too happy about getting my own cereal for trick or treat. If I were Lucky and got corn pops, that’d be different.

With all this halloween madness, where are the Spooky Orange and Black Ramen Noodles and Enchanted Gehraldi Chocolates with orange goo in the center?
Damn, those people are slow.

That should be "Et tu…"

Also, Halloween was, originally, a Catholic holiday. And, it comes from the Irish holiday Samhain. So, Lucky celebrating Halloween isn’t strange at all…

Split, split, split those hairs…

Hey, ralph, there are chocolate bat peeps at the Dollr Tree stores (if you have on in your vicinity). I think you get three for a buck. Not bad.

There were aArbor Day Lucky Charms once. They were the same old cereal, but with green tree-shaped marshmallows thrown in.

Matt, I’d give you the finger if you DIDN’T let me be the Wolf Man.

The bats and ghosts are fugitive marshmallows from the Chocula/Frankenberry cereals.

Ah, it was a bat mask. When I first saw it at Target last month, I thought it was a burglar mask, and that there was a chance the Cookie Crook would file a lawsuit.

I just got some Frankenberry, on the side of the box there’s an order form for a t-shirt, and one for a bobble-head. Woo.

I admit, the correction of his Latin may have been a bit much, but I am learning the language and that really bothered me. I believe the Samhain information was a relevant critique, however.

I think the expression on Lucky’s face is the most frightening aspect of the cereal box…
