lucky charms

In a special ad campaign that gears towards a consumers need for comfort, General Mills has brought back its old cereal box designs. Target shoppers may have noticed that Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, and Trix are sporting retro boxes taken directly from the company's archives.

The promotion has made me nostalgic and I can't help but think of the cereal I enjoyed as a child. While I consumed Cheerios on a regular basis, my absolute favorite was Lucky Charms. How about you reader? What cereal did you devour as a child? Do you still eat it today?

Happy St. Patrick's Day! It seems like a cosmic downer that the day of hearty drinking is falling on a Monday. Well, it's better that you don't drink anyway, isn't? Just have a bowl of some Lucky Charms! Yeah, that's a great substitute for slamming pints of Guinness.

I was at my local Target — I know, it seems like I go there an awful lot — when I noticed this display of vintage cereal boxes. For a limited time, General Mills has released vintage-styled boxes of five of their top selling cereals. The promotion is part of their Vintage T-Shirt Offer. These vintage boxes of Golden Grahams, Kix, Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios, and Wheaties each contain a box code that will give you access to their specially priced vintage tees. The tees cost $5 each and you can order up to 5 of them each day.

And if you can't find the vintage boxes, don't worry you can still get your hands on vintage shirts. Just use the boxcode "retrotee" and you'll be able to get in.
