Lucky Charms Is Bringing Back Only Marshmallows-Only Boxes

I've spent a lot of time in my life picking out the marshmallows from Lucky Charms. Not that the frosting covered oat shapes were poor tasting — they're delicious — but instead because I just preferred that sugar on sugar combination better. As a kid, an oat seemed too healthy to enjoy. It basically sounded like a vegetable. So, when I heard that Lucky Charms was bringing back their limited edition Marshmallow Only boxes, I couldn't help but wonder how my time might have been better spent throughout my childhood. It also made me wonder if the folks at General Mills are have tapped my brain and are listening to my hopes and dreams of a marshmallow-only life.

And I really can't help but wonder, would I have been better at the piano if I spent more time practicing and less time picking out marshmallows? Would I have made the honor roll if I had spent more time doing my homework and less time picking out marshmallows? Would I have been voted most likely to win an Oscar if I had put more effort into theater and spent less time picking out marshmallows? Would I have been more popular if I spent more time socializing in homeroom and less time at home, hovering over my breakfast picking out marshmallows? Who's to say? But what I do know now, is that I'm glad General Mills took the hint. Or tapped my brain, or whatever.
