Chocolately Winter Lucky Charms. I never buy Lucky Charms any more. Why? Beats the heck out of me. Despite the fact that I adore many other corn-based cereals with marshmallow accompaniment, Lucky Charms just does nothing for me. Fortunately, my parents just happened to pick up a box for me.<\/p>\n<p>And I know that if you&#8217;ve been reading all these entries that you&#8217;re starting to think &#8220;for a grown man,this guy&#8217;s parents sure buy him a lot of stuff&#8221; and you aren&#8217;t wrong. But who the heck else would buy me anything? Nobody, that&#8217;s who. Why would they? There&#8217;s literally no reason for anyone else to buy me anything. But my mom likes to pick up things she knows I&#8217;ll like, and I&#8217;m happy to give go-credit to my dad. And so I get a bunch of stuff from my parents.<\/p>\n<p>Back to Lucky Charms: You know what this holiday version is? It&#8217;s Count Chocula with snowflakes instead of bats. That&#8217;s it. Like, I have a box of Count Chocula in my cupboard, and I ate a handful of each back-to-back, and they taste identical. Which should be great! I love Count Chocula! Chocolate cereals aren&#8217;t really my jam, but when you make them spooky? Right in my wheelhouse. So Lucky here is at a disadvantage for thematic dissonance, since I expect bats and ghosts when I eat a cereal with this flavour.<\/p>\n<p>But I won&#8217;t dock any points, because I&#8217;m just happy that a cereal decided to go chocolate for winter. Has that ever happened before? Don&#8217;t they normally go red-and-green and\/or toss in some sugar sparkles and call &#8217;em snowflakes?\u00a0 Three years from now I&#8217;ll be making a big deal out of something like this again because I&#8217;ll have completely forgotten about Chocolately Winter Lucky Charms. So it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you know anything about me, it&#8217;s probably that I&#8217;m really into video games.
