And in between each violent blow I want say a word from the following sentence: You made Lucky Charms NOT magically delicious, and while I\u2019m venting and have your attention, fix your damn lettuce.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Burger-King-Lucky-Charms-Shake-2.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"Burger King Lucky Charms Shake 2\" title=\"Burger King Lucky Charms Shake 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From afar it looks like a regular vanilla shake. But a closer look shows specks of colorful marshmallow bits in an ocean of off-white. Also floating in the soft serve are Lucky Charms oat cereal pieces. I guess if the colorful marshmallow bits are the treasure in an ocean of off-white, then the oat cereal pieces are the wreckage of sunken ships. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there&#8217;s a lot of wreckage and they&#8217;re larger than the marshmallow bits. They\u2019re small enough that they don\u2019t clog the straw and in almost every suck there\u2019s a soggy chunk or two.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Burger-King-Lucky-Charms-Shake-4-1.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"Burger King Lucky Charms Shake 4\" title=\"Burger King Lucky Charms Shake 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But no one eats Lucky Charms for the oat pieces. It\u2019s all about THE Lucky Charms. <\/p>\n<p>I want to feel the squish of the marshmallows as I chomp on them. I want them to stick to my teeth. I want them to make me see rainbows and yell, \u201cI\u2019M GOING LOCO FOR LUCKY CHARMS!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t get any of that.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Burger-King-Lucky-Charms-Shake-3.jpg?resize=550%2C547\" alt=\"Burger King Lucky Charms Shake 3\" title=\"Burger King Lucky Charms Shake 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"547\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Those specks of color give the appearance of marshmallows, but adds nothing in term of flavor or texture. So the best part of Lucky Charms cereal isn\u2019t highlighted in this legally not a milkshake. <\/p>\n<p>Even though it\u2019s made with a \u201cmarshmallow cereal flavored syrup,\u201d it doesn\u2019t remind me of the colorful Lucky Charms. Maybe the soft serve\u2019s flavor muddles it, after all vanilla and marshmallow can have similar flavor profiles.<\/p>\n<p>I wish it was topped with more marshmallows and a rainbow-colored straw would\u2019ve been a nice touch. The former would\u2019ve helped make the shake less soggy oats heavy, and the latter would\u2019ve helped bring a smile to my face. <\/p>\n<p>Soggy Oats Cereal Shake has a nice ring to its name, but that\u2019s not what I want with this Lucky Charms Shake.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 740 calories, 17 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams of trans fat, 65 milligrams of cholesterol, 580 milligrams of sodium, 129 grams of carbohydrates, 107 grams of sugar, and 17 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.99*<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 16 oz.<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 4 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Cereal pieces don&#8217;t clog up straw.
