Lucky Charms

GrumPy

I know this is a longshot, but does anyone know of any online retailers that would ship it to Ireland? They are snacktacular!!

Bluetonic

They are on sale in the employees 'US' shop in the US Embassy, so if you know anyone who works in there they'll be able to get you a box out.

Ruu_Old

Don't like them at all, far too much sugar. You could try ebay, I found multiple matches for them there.

GrumPy

Theres never enough sugar!! I'll check ebay, thanks. Sadly, dont know any americans that would have access to that employees shop

poggy

Archeron

GrumPy

I rember u used to be able to buy them in "the big cheese" but since thats gone i dont know where you'd get them, maybe try the epicurian foodhall?

GrumPy

good idea, I'll try next time in in town, thanks.

Attol

The Epicurean Foodhall is a bunch of restaurants. They don't sell anything like that there. Try Selfridges if your visiting England. They do them. We have 2 boxes atm.

Em well i used to always buy hersheys bars and other american nestle bars there befor they became more widely available.

Hagar

Try Tesco Merrion. They cater for the Embassy catchment area.

Pitseleh

Fallon & Byrne sell them in Exchequer Street in Dublin, next to the Coco Pops. A nice food hall place that opened (relatively? I've been away.) recently. They were sold out the last time I was in there but the SEL is there...

Yeah, that's why they're banned here. To help prevent hate crimes against leprechauns. It used to be a big problem in the late 80s.

Tar.Aldarion

yeah, they catch leprechauns, imps, goblins, pixies, hobgoblins and jesus. (jesus is like seven leprauchauns)

They also give Americans (ones I have met) the false illusion that "Yill never get me lucky charms", is an "Irish catchphrase". :mad:

Yeah, the leprechaun version of the trinity is a bit of a head-scratcher. That's why there's been a strong element of anti-leprechaunism in the Church since the Synod of Cashel, at least.

Ha! Tell them to use it as a pickup line if they ever come here... <evil kneevil>

Lol, I know what you mean, and they dont even sell the damn things over here If an american even says "Oh your from Ireland? you watch sheep, chase pots a gold and eat lucky charms all day right?"

I'd think I'd have to take them down, take them down HARD.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

yeah, I've gotten a box or two here in Canada... it was lovely. Canadians were well shocked to hear we didn't get them in Ireland. Must bring a box or ten hundred home with me.

simu

They did sell them here for a brief while under the jimgle "Frosted Lucky Charms - they're magically delicious!". Have ye no sense of history?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I think a few people have mentioned the fact that they used to be sold here simu... read the thread before replying :P

simu

I only do history before last week tbh. Pfft! N00b history sux!

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

simu

Yes, but the leprechaun had all the power really.

I'll trade you my soul, two sticks of wrigleys extra, and 400lbs of walrus blubber for the box of original lucky charms.

Tori

Good God, I've never tried them but I'm gasping for them now! Are they really that good?
I'm not totally sure but have you tried Aldi or Lidl - they have all kinds of foreign lovliness that might be similar if not the same?

Good idea Tori, can anyone confirm if aldi or lidl do a lucky charms clone? called cruncher snaps or some other humourous name?? but with the same great taste of course..

This site is a bit expensive but if you are looking for American food products try www.skyco.uk.com If you know of someone in the North you could have it shipped there as the shipping is cheaper. I am American and am 7 months pregnant and am dying for root beer and Cap N' Crunch. I am seriously considering placing an order with them.

Ruu_Old

OP send me a PM and I'll try and sort you out, shipping might be expensive but lets see what we can do.

emeraldstar

no ive never seen them in either Lidl or Aldi and believe me, i've looked!! i found Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in Aldi and that was a happy day :)
No Lucky Charms though

Manic Moran

Make online friends with an American soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq. Have him throw some boxes at you in Shannon.

My first morning in Ft Knox at Basic, a couple of the other recruits came up to me...

"Hey, Moran! They have Lucky Charms downstairs for you"
"They have what?!"
"Lucky Charms!"
"What the feck are Lucky Charms?"
"What? Don't they have Lucky Charms in Ireland?"
"Not that I know of. What are they?"
"Breakfast cereal!"
"Oh."
