Looking forward to trying it. Hopefully, it'll stick around for a while.

BTW, wouldn't it be cool if Kellogg's were to release more Nintendo-themed cereals sometime in the future? I'd like to try a strawberry-flavored Kirby cereal. Smile

"Cool, the box is an Amiibo!"

...

Hopefully it’s better than the cereals made by Nintendo.

Lucky Charms: Nintendo Edition.

But I guess I'll need to check my local cereal aisle for BHT infused goodness from here on.

Are those marshmallow pieces? No wonder the cereal won't be available here—the boldly saccharine likes of Lucky Charms left our shelves in the 1990s, and are now only available via importation.

Oh, I am SO looking forward to this. Even though I don't really like the marshmallow cereals much.

I have no idea, but it's resulted in Lucky Charms becoming crazy expensive in the UK. I can't explain it--other cereals from the US are crazy expensive, but there is an insane desire for Lucky Charms, in particular, that drives prices up further.



I plugged in the price of £7.95 into a currency converter, and it comes out to US$10.75. (I remember them being higher than that some time ago though.) Actually, the price seems to be in Euros, which would be US$9.48.

"Made by Nintendo?" Assuming you mean the "Nintendo Cereal System," that was Ralston Purina, who was later called Ralcorp, who until more recently owned Post, who currently has a Super Mario Odyssey promotion with their products. Post was spun off from Ralcorp in 2012, around the same time it was acquired by ConAgra, who sold it to a company with a stupid-sounding name which I can't remember, but know Obama's wife was on its board of directors while hypocritically criticizing food companies for childhood obesity rates.
