Changeup

Previously I posted, that I eat Oatmeal every morning at work. Well, today I must confess that I am not going to. In fact, I'm going to eat Lucky Charms. Why? Perhaps it’s my Irish roots, or maybe it’s the charm of a cereal that manages to sneak in a new marshmallow flavor every two years. Ok, so it’s not really a new flavor, it’s just a new shape and color used as a Trojan horse to inject even more sugar into kids. Big Kids, like me, who have grown up but still expect the same sugar high.

Does anyone else remember when Lucky Charms only had four different mallow shapes? I wonder if there were no marshmallows when the first Irish immigrants came to America? America probably afforded them the freedom to consume mass amounts of sugar for breakfast.

So I'm out of Oatmeal and Smiths had a Cereal Sale. This "cheap factor" is why I'm just about to pour a bowlful of Lucky Charms. I know what you’re thinking. Isn't it a little dangerous to mess with success to abandon the tried and true formula? Perhaps... but today, I'm feeling Lucky.
