\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Over the years, I’ve probably eaten my body weight in Lucky Charms. Also, I’m probably at my current body weight because of Lucky Charms. <\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it’s probably one of my favorite cereals of all time, not only because of its marshmallow goodness, but also because I believe there’s a slim chance that Lucky Charms will someday bring me good luck.<\/p>\n

With all the Lucky Charms I’ve eaten, I’m expecting enough luck to last me for the rest of my life. Oh how great it would be to have that much luck.<\/p>\n

I imagine a life where I would find twenty dollar bills on the ground every day, hit a jackpot on each slot machine lever I pull, marry a supermodel\/doctor, and sleep on the finest leopard-print Chinese silk sheets around.<\/p>\n

Now I have to admit, I wanted that luck to come to me soon, because I didn’t know how long I could keep eating Lucky Charms. When you’ve eaten your body weight’s worth of it, you tend to get tired of them, including all the green clovers, purple horseshoes, blue moons, rainbows, and whatever other marshmallows they have.<\/p>\n

However, this boredom with Lucky Charms stopped, while shopping at the national grocery store chain I usually shop at. There I saw the most titillating thing I’ve ever seen. It was so heavenly that you should’ve seen my eyes light up, like a teenage boy flipping through an issue of Playboy that he stole from his father’s “secret”\u009d stash, when my eyes gazed upon the boxes of Chocolate Lucky Charms on the shelf.<\/p>\n

I picked up the box and stared at it, like I had found the Holy Grail of Cereals. Then I turned the box over and read in big, bold letters, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Secret is Out!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Then I thought, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Secret? Out? Holy crap! Lucky the Leprechaun is GAY!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Well I read the rest of it and it turns out that he’s not, but my gaydar<\/a> says he is. Come on, rainbow marshmallows?<\/p>\n

So what’s Chocolate Lucky Charms?<\/p>\n

Imagine combining the marshmallows from Lucky Charms with the cereal part from Count Chocula. That delicious combination gives us Chocolate Lucky Charms, or what I’m now calling, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Heaven in a Bowl.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

It’s so good, I can’t contain myself.<\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, the marshmallows! <\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, the chocolatey milk! <\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, why didn’t they come up with it sooner? <\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, I ate a whole frickin’ box in two days!<\/p>\n

Oh, those geniuses at General Mills. I would kiss them all on the lips, if they were all in my room, if I weren’t munching on a mouthful of Chocolate Lucky Charms, and if they were all women.<\/p>\n

But for that to happen, I’d have to be lucky.<\/p>\n
