Over the years General Mills has made many changes to their Lucky Charms brand of cereal with more than forty marshmallow changes, but never a Halloween theme.

-Bleeding hearts
-Yellow fevers
-Shooting scars
-Gangrene blisters
-and Blue moons

They're tragically malicious!

Too bad, I like the tagline. [tatterdemalion, Jul 15 2013]

Not just for breakfast! http://www.rsquare....ewyEnergyCookie.jpg
I love the part that says "Baked with Love in Canada" [Canuck, Jul 15 2013]

The proof is in the biscuit http://www.londondr...670,default,pd.html

       Dear gods - I have just Googled "lucky charms", which appear to be 40% sugar by weight, the remaining 60% being dyestuffs.   

       Maybe they should add "Diabetic disasters" to the range.

       You must be looking at the wrong product [mb] - it is clearly stated in the idea text that the “lucky charms” referred to are a “cereal”, which is a category of substances that does not include sugar nor dyestuffs.

       I suppose it's possible that the box is made from some sort of cereal derivative.

       I've always been horrified by the similarity between the names of breakfast cereals and infectious diseases or ailments...   

       Corn Flakes (you get them on your feet, right?) Oat Burst (eww) Crunchy Nut (common STD) Corn pops... frosted flakes... shreddies... golden nuggets... Breakfast suddenly isn't so appetising.

       You find the name Cheerios depressing? Maybe you should try the *cookie* in the link I provided!

       Somebody please, please confirm that the "Happy Colon" breakfast biscuit is a spoof. Please.
MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 15 2013
  

       [+] yes and the UnDead gingerbread man!

       If it is a Halloween theme, shouldn't there also be little Black Cats? And Witches' Hats? Maybe some Eye of Green Newt?

       Sorry MB, this is not a spoof (see link). I can arrange to ship a case of Happy Colon to your pantry if you'd like to have your staff try them out.   

       Getting back to the original topic, how about little grey brainssssssss... (Zombies would just eat 'em up!)

       //Sorry MB, this is not a spoof//   

       Dear gods. What possible state of mind can lead a nation to welcome a food called "Happy Colon"? Is this bought by people who cheerily discuss the firmness of their stools over the breakfast table? Or make small-talk about their vaginal thrush over dinner with friends?   

       "Happy Colon" raises crassness to new depths. In a civilization, its creators would simply be taken out and beaten to death.

       //Breakfast suddenly isn't so appetising.//
You're right, it isn't!
calum, Jul 17 2013
  

       Hey, if your colon ain't happy, ain't *nobody* happy.

       I'll stick with the Drearie-o's.
