But that\u2019s not the case and I imagine pigs will fly, hell will freeze over, and all cockroaches on Earth will die before that ever happens. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Cereal looks as if Lucky Charms\u2019 marshmallows have been paired with some generic version of Frosted Flakes with a name like Frosty Flakes, Frosting Flakes, Flakes with Frosting, Frosting Coated Flakes, Flakes Frosted, Frosted Corn Flakes, Corn Flakes with Frosting, Frosting Coated Corn Flakes, Corn Flakes Frosted, and I Can\u2019t Believe It\u2019s Corn Flakes with Frosting. <\/p>\n<p>The flakes in this cereal have a different shape, are smaller, less frosted, and less sweet, making them not as good as Kellogg\u2019s version. But the generic-looking frosted corn flakes are sweeter, crunchier, and all-around better tasting than the oat cereal pieces in regular Lucky Charms. <\/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\/2018\/01\/Lucky-Charms-Frosted-Flakes-Cereal-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Cereal 2\" title=\"Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Cereal 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019ve said on numerous occasions that Lucky Charms is a favorite. But Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes has made me question that. The new cereal is crunchier, more sweet tooth-satisfying, and it\u2019s helped me realize the magic in Lucky Charms is the ability to make us eat mediocre lightly sweetened oat cereal we would never eat without marshmallows.<\/p>\n<p>Let me put it this way, after experiencing Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes, I wouldn\u2019t buy a box of only Lucky Charms\u2019 oat cereal unless I desperately needed horse feed. But I would buy a box of these generic frosted flakes. They improve the classic cereal and seem to stay crunchy longer in milk than the oat pieces.<\/p>\n<p>But, even though I feel this cereal is better, it\u2019s also kind of a letdown. If there was no such thing as Kellogg\u2019s Frosted Flakes, which, again, is superior, this might\u2019ve been gr-r-reater than gr-r-reat. But since Kellogg\u2019s Frosted Flakes does exist because we aren\u2019t living in Cereal Earth Dimension Y, I know this could\u2019ve been even better.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you might be saying, \u201cWell then, there\u2019s Kellogg\u2019s Frosted Flakes with Marshmallows.\u201d That&#8217;s true, but, unfortunately, that suffers from being the opposite of this cereal. Frosted Flakes are great, but the marshmallows are mediocre. Some may say sugar is sugar, but Lucky Charms\u2019 marbits are better for whatever reason. #magic?<\/p>\n<p>Overall, if General Mills decided to do something drastic and make Lucky Charms Frosted Flakes Cereal THE regular Lucky Charms, I\u2019d be all for it.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 3\/4 cup without milk &#8211; 120 calories, 5 calories from fat, 0.5 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 milligrams of sodium, 55 milligrams of potassium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, 15 grams of other carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.57<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 20.9 oz. box<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Walmart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Better tasting, sweeter, and crunchier than regular Lucky Charms.
