52 Foods: Chocolate Lucky Charms
Folks of my generation will tell you: cereal is not just for breakfast anymore. Seinfeld made it know to the greater populace that people eat cereal all the time- and it's not Grape Nuts or All Bran they're reaching for.
The sugary stuff that I was guided away from as a youngster makes a nice snack as an adult. The missus and I keep a few boxes of cereal on hand, and for every Total there's a Froot Loops, for every Special K there's a Corn Pops (or now, it's generic equivalent.)
Not being avid watchers of programs where sugared cereal is advertised, Debbie and I discovered the new Chocolate Lucky Charms while grocery shopping together. I think she was saying "We have to try those" as I was putting a box in our cart. "Hey, I need a new food for the blog," I said. She agreed, that in the name of research, we should bite the bullet and give them a try.
Being a male, chocolate is one of the many excellent choices in the flavor rainbow, and is often considered after salty, spicy and greasy flavors have had their moments on my tongue. I don't want to be one to make gender-based generalizations, but I have noticed that for many, many females, chocolate's position in the hierarchy of life is often shortly after oxygen.
Debbie and I tried the cereal at the same time. She LOVED it. I'm sticking with the original LC for all of my magically deliciousness.
The taste is not unlike what you would get if you mixed Cocoa Puffs with generous handfuls of the trademark Lucky Charms marshmallows. To me, it's like adding hot fudge to an already perfect scoop of French Vanilla. To Debbie, the thought was more along the lines of what took them so long to think of this?
We are now a two flavors of Lucky Charms household. I think we can handle this change comfortably and without significant adjustments to our lifestyle. Only time will tell.

Ebony, Ivory, livin' in perfect harmony...
Way to keep it real, Jev.
