What’s that cereal that had the rainbow on the box?

Dude its killing me, cant remember the name of this cereal. I used to eat it in the early 2000s. It had like a rainbow and some kind of castle on the box. The cereal itself was pretty colorful I think...maybe shapes or something?

Oh man, I think what you're talking about is Lucky Charms! They totally had that rainbow and castle vibe going on. Plus all those colorful marshmallow shapes. Man, childhood in a box right there.

Hey, so you're probably thinking of Lucky Charms. They've been around since 1964, and yes, they've always had some sort of magical element to their branding. The rainbow and castle fit right into their whimsical theme. The marshmallows (or 'marbits', as they were originally called) have evolved over time but have always included an assortment of colorful shapes. The exact lineup in the early 2000s would've included pots of gold, moons, stars, and of course, rainbows!

Everyone's saying Lucky Charms, but couldn't it also be a generic brand? some of those store brands really ripped off the big names hard back in the day.

Definitely sounds like Lucky Charms to me! I get nostalgic just thinking about them, the way those mallows would get slightly soft in the milk. Rainbow, clovers, blue moons, and the red balloons! That Leprechaun mascot was always up to tricks, right? Ugh, good times.

Lemme level with ya, sounds exactly like Lucky Charms, but if you were eating it in the early 2000s, you might've gotten some of those limited edition marshmallows they did. Remember the one with the 'Hidden Key'? Man, they knew how to keep breakfast exciting.

Def Lucky Charms but don't forget they changed a lot since the '90s. The early 2000s saw some new shapes and special editions. Not as cool as the OG mix but still pretty rad.
