They're Magically Delicious!


Lucky Charms is a cereal that has a bad reputation for being sugary and unhealthy. But when looking at the ingredients and facts it is easy to see that that is a common misconception.
The cereal is made with whole grains and fortified with 12 vitamins and minerals. It is also a great source of calcium even before adding the milk!


All of the vitamins it’s fortified with besides two are 10% daily value or over. That is quite a percentage for one serving of a supposedly unhealthy cereal.

This will be beneficial in my papers because it shows that not only does General Mills care about portraying cereal as a fun and exciting breakfast, it sneaks in all of the good things parents like, such as whole grains and the vitamins, that kids on the other hand would not think are cool. This is a great way to make a product because everyone who is affected by it is happy. The kid thinks they are eating a magically delicious and entertaining cereal while the parents know they are getting the nutrients they need.

I remember when I was little I thought only the marshmallows would be the good part until I tasted what I considered the “boring” part of the cereal. I realized that I was shockingly wrong and everything about Lucky Charms was great! The cereal keeps their attention with different designs of marshmallows, sometimes with “treasure hunts” through the milk trying to find the marshmallows.

Lucky Charms is an extremely ethical cereal, produced by an ethical company, General Mills. They keep things interesting by introducing chocolate lucky charms or new marshmallows and they genuinely care about their customers well being and not just their taste buds.
I love General Mills and you should too! (sorta) lol
