The Mother of The Others Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 The marshmallows are meant to represent Lucky's magical charms, each with their own special meaning or "power." The following are explanations of the permanent marshmallows:Hearts - power to bring things to lifeShooting Stars - power to flyHorseshoes - power to speed things upClovers - luck, but you will never know what kind of luck you'll getBlue Moons - power of invisibilityRainbows - instantaneous travel from place to placeBalloons - power to make things floatHourglass - power to control time The temporary marshmallows are what concern me. If this generates discussion that's fine, but really this info was meant to serve as the important reference source that it is during the months and years ahead, after the world economy has imploded and things will get very dark indeed. For that reason and many others, this topic should probably be made sticky. (I know I have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sci-2 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I figured the Veil would fall after the Long Descent, not during. As such, sadly there's probably at least a century before this information is viable. But still, thanks just in case. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawkcabi Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 From Wikipedia: In 1986, a whale-shaped marshmallow was temporarily added to the lineup.In 1990, green pine tree-shaped marshmallow was temporarily added to the lineup. During that time, the cereal promoted Earth Day with a free Colorado Blue Spruce seedling with proofs-of-purchase.In 1991, the star and balloon shape marshmallows were combined for a short time. The red balloon featured a gold six-pointed star; The star was removed at a later date to make the Red Balloon and Star marshmallows separate.In 1994, sprinkles were temporarily added to the marshmallows.In 1999, the moon shape marshmallows were modified with the addition of the yellow curve line for a limited time.In 2000, a "New Sparkling Rainbow" was added to the mix for a limited time. It was described by General Mills as "a sprinkling of multicolored sugar on a white rainbow marbit." This marshmallow replaced the original rainbow at this time.In 2010, the swirled marshmallows were in Lucky Charms for a limited time.Two new rainbow marshmallows were added for LGBT Pride Month, June 2013. Recent changes to the marshmallows include the star shape taking on a "shooting star" design, the orange five-pointed star being complemented by a white "trail." In late 2005, another marshmallow shape was added, the "Hidden Key". It is a solid yellow marshmallow that resembles an arched door (similar to the shape of a tombstone; flat at the bottom, flat sides with a round top). When liquid is added to the cereal, the sugar in the marshmallow dissolves and the shape of a skeleton key appears "as if by magic." The tagline was, "Unlock the door with milk!" This "new" marshmallow type has been used in other hot and cold cereals, but with mixed success (from characters "hidden" inside a bigger marshmallow to letters appearing). In early June 2006, General Mills introduced Magic Mirror marshmallows. In 2008, yellow and orange hourglass marshmallows were introduced ( with a contemporary name for Lucky, the Emerald Elder) with the marketing tagline of, "The Hourglass Charm has the power to Stop Time * Speed Up Time * Reverse Time". As of 2011, swirled marshmallows and rainbow-colored stars have been introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mother of The Others Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 This use of milk to reveal the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe, it reminds me of Constantine when he stuck his feet in a bowl of water and this allowed him to unlock a gateway to interdimensional travel.

Tears of Lys Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I had no idea there was so much knowledge and mystical power to be found in breakfast cereal. If I had known this as a kid, I would STILL be sitting there staring into my cereal bowl and dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balloons? Horseshoes? wtf?:lmao: so that kids will see it and instantly feel like they are missing out on something, so in turn they beg and cry for this flavorless cereal, to fill the void in their hearts.(This applies to adults as well :p )@WolverineYou are not the only one :agree: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I might be the the only kid who hated cereal with marshmallows in it. Nope...not sure I have ever even had Lucky Charms. If I'm going down that path of hell to have cereal, it's going to be Apple Jacks or Honeycombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlle. Zabzie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Bah humbug. Like my stoic Presbyterian Scot forbearers, I believe that contemplation of the ineffable through cereal should be accomplished through plainer means. No razzle dazzle marshmallows or hidden keys (all too Rosicrucian for my taste). No, I ponder mystery through examination of Life, and, when deeper meaning is needed, Cinnamon Life. This is as it should be - crosshatched complexity with just enough sweetness to satisfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
