Marbits

Andrew just finished a bowl of lucky charms; we were reminiscing, and I couldn’t remember every single marshmallow it had when we were kids (before the introduction of the red balloon).

I stumbled upon this “marbits” history on Wikipedia:

The main selling point for Lucky Charms has always been the marshmallows (or “marbits” as General Mills calls them). The first boxes of Lucky Charms cereal contained marshmallows in the shapes of pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers. The lineup has changed occasionally over the years, beginning with the introduction of blue diamonds in 1975. Purple horseshoes joined the roster in 1984, followed by red balloons in 1989, rainbows in 1992, pots of gold in 1994, leprechaun hats in 1996, shooting stars in 1998, and hourglass in 2008.[1]

I forgot about the yellow moons; I had remembered the stars as being yellow. :9 Makes me want to go out and buy Rice Krispie Treats cereal. Does that even exist anymore?
