Anyone remember when these were actually sold normally in Ireland? I can't believe my parents really let me eat them as a kid! Had some recently and they still tasted as good as I remembered..... dammit now I really want some

I don't get the point of these cereals loaded with crap that are marketed at children. If you're going to give your kids something that's loaded with sugar why not just give them a bar of chocolate or a packet of sweets?

The worst offender is Cookie Crisp. Most parents wouldn't let their children eat a packet of chocolate chip cookies for breakfast, but they'll give them a bowl of them because Nestle tell them that it's cereal.

I like those! They turn the milk into chocolate nesquik.

They aren't actually cookies you know. Probably wouldn't give them to my daughter though.

Ha yeah obviously but they were briefly sold in Ireland in the early 90s, for about two years maybe? I don't know why, maybe it was for the American tourists! Seems mad now though that they were

Man I love me some lucky charms

Whatever happened to Special K, they used to be delicious but now they're like crunchy cardboard

creolebelle · 31-05-2014 01:19AM

Yuck. America has made much better cereals like fruity pebbles, trix and Reese's puffs

I always thought lucky charms might be offensive to the irish. I hated the leprechaun as a child

Then a potato for lunch and some Guinness.

HellboundIRL · 31-05-2014 01:24AM

I don't get why so many people here go crazy for them, it must be the novelty or something because they're nothing special.

According to the manufacturer, Lucky Charms is 37% sugar by weight.

flippin heck

Used to eat Lucky Charms al the time as a kid. I loved them so much due to the alarmingly high sugar count I assume. I could go for a bowl now though but I've already brushed my teeth and the shops are closed .

Any yank I talk to is horrified we don't have them here.

You don't have Irish Spring soap either I hear.

I feel a business venture is required.

TireeTerror · 31-05-2014 03:09AM

I saw them in Tesco last night. I didn't buy them, I bought a box of Kellogg's Apple Jacks, which are awesome! They have a load of American food there in their imported specialist food section, next to all the Polish stuff. Im sure the Lucky Charms were €6, the Apple Jacks were on offer at €3!! Loads of Hersheys stuff too.

I've only ever seen them on sale in sweetshops and they are usually ridiculously expensive. I only had one when i found a sweet shop in Brighton that sold them individually.

Do they not sell Cadburys where you are? They have different varieties of dairy milk bars in all the supermarkets near me in vegas. Tastes the same as home.

Butterface · 01-06-2014 06:53PM

I ate half a box of stale Lucky Charms I found in my girlfriend's at Christmas.. she was going to throw them out like!

They still tasted sweeeeeeet!!

I said chocolate!! Nah, just kidding. The likes of CVS have Cadburys, not quite the same as at home though for some reason. Also the only Cadburys I eat back home is usually Caramello and Turkish Delight...where I am it's Milk Chocolate or Walnut from what I can tell. Also, it's not quite as nice, possibly from the heat here
