I am eating Lucky Charms for breakfast!

I have also never had Lucky Charms, however i found a place in england that imports loads of american stuff in that we cant normally get over here.

Lucky Charms is one of those products, however £6.50 for a packet of cereal is a bit rich for me, even if they do taste like sunshine drops covered in fairy dust.

*Disclaimer* i cannot verify the last statement about what they taste like, as like i said before i have never had the pleasure or otherwise of trying them.

If you want to buy some lucky charms in the UK try here for all your American food goods not normally available in the UK.

This is the place i was talking about, the name slipped my mind though.

Have bought Jolly Ranchers, Mountain Dew and Berry Dr Pepper.

Cant believe how much corn syrup they use over there, and how much sugar there is in everything

Jolly Ranchers are the dog's though :)
 
Cannot believe I have finished it all now... No more left, I will have to wait till next time I go to the US and A.

You've obviously not had them before then. They're not any worse than most of the cereal that's out there.

Err...

I think I first tried them in America, but I'm old enough to have had them bought for me when they were on sale in the UK.

They were obviously never banned, as they are still on sale now in the aforementioned places, but there was defiantly a backlash at the time when it was discovered how much sugar and E numbers were in them. Given that the people who buy the cereal tend to be parents, it no doubt hurt sales, which is probably the reason they withdraw them here.

We tried to get them for our shop and were offered them for £7 per box wholesale. We declined.

Buy them online! :eek: £4.50 at some online stores, and although the P&P is crippling if you get just one over that and I doubt it's that bad.

Bearing in mind with the Dollar at the rate it is now they are around £3.50-£4 in the US anyway (well last November at least).

EDIT: It seems somebody beat me to it, American soda is where I got a pack recently, although why they charge £4.60 for postage is beyond me...

And I was always under the impression Nexuses point about the unhealthyness was the reason they were removed from sale. Anti-Irish sentiment just sounds daft in the extreme, the closest you could get with that is that the Irish complained that it was a **** take on them IMO.

I loved these. Haven't had them in years. Defo my favourite cereal of all time. May be the reason for that is probably one bowl is the equivalent of your recommended sugar intake for the week, but who cares about that stuff anyway!
