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

Bluetonic · 07-07-2006 03:50PM

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 · 07-07-2006 03:50PM

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

GrumPy · 07-07-2006 03:53PM

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

GrumPy · 07-07-2006 04:00PM

darraghw · 07-07-2006 04:47PM

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 · 07-07-2006 05:09PM

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

Attol · 07-07-2006 07:31PM

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 · 07-07-2006 07:35PM

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

Pitseleh · 07-07-2006 08:45PM

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 · 07-07-2006 10:04PM

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 · 07-07-2006 11:14PM

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 · 07-07-2006 11:17PM

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 · 07-07-2006 11:20PM

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

simu · 08-07-2006 12:29AM

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

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 08-07-2006 12:32AM
