You sure it was Lucky Charms Bart eat? I thought it was the mutli coloured loops, now thats something I have never tried or feel like trying.

22
They're called something else, but from what they are described as, it's Lucky Charms.

23
No fruit loops here. I will look for the strawberry cini minis. Sounds promising.

24
Let me know how they are, I hate artificial strawberry flavour but if they are as flavourful as their cinnamon counterparts, they should be interesting.

25
I though that I had seen them at one of the bigger Carrefour markets in France, but I looked a a midsize store after reading your post this morning and had no luck.

They had;

Cookie Crisp

Honey Bunches of Oats

Frosted Flakes

Golden Grahams

Sugar Smacks

and about 10 varieties of Cocoa Puffs

No Lucky Charms.

Fruit Loops? A supermarket in SA had a rat infestation and the rats ate the cardboard containers of the Fruit Loops, but left the cereal.

Animals are very intelligent creatures - somehow they know when something is not healthy for them. Or is it different for rats?

27
They have them in the upstairs part of Orell Füssli in Zurich. CHF 10.90.

28
The english Orell Füssli that is.

29
While we are on the subject of man made stuff that looks like food and is marketed as food - but is well, questionable.

Moon Pies!!!

30

Definitely not a food...

31
Wow great work. Thanks for the effort I really appreciate it. At least we tried. Now I will definitely have to order them online.

32
Moon pies are great. Now I want some of them as well. lol

33
Here's an online store based in Switzerland - CHF 10.50 for a box of cereal? Why the hell not, eh?

34
Thanks again Kittster

This store looks good. My wife and I just took and she is also happy because now she can get baking soda as well.

35
That's Backpulver, isn't it? If you mean Bicarbonate of Soda, that's "Natron" in Migros/Coop but don't bother buying that, get yourself to Germany and buy Kaiser Natron in a big box.

36
Backpulver is baking powder. Baking soda is a component of Natron but not exactly the same thing. I remember we used to put a box of baking soda in the fridge when I was young to keep the fridge fresh but I am not really sure what my wife needs it for. I just know she recently got an American recipe book.

37
Backpulver aka baking powder is sodium hydrogen bicarbonate (aka Natronhydrogenbicarbonat aka Natron aka bicarb aka lots of names) plus something added, I forget what. Baking soda is just bicarb, they don't sell it in boxes in Switzerland but the stuff called Kaiser-Natron you can get in Germany is definitely what is known as baking soda. I use it as such and my cakes / cupcakes and things turn out pretty well. Cheapest place to get bicarb has been Italy, but maybe I just missed it elsewhere. There they sell it in big white cartons marked with "Solvay bicarbonato di sodio" in blue, praising its "thousands of uses" for about EUR 1.50? Might be a bit more or even less, no idea, it was so cheap that I didn't pay attention.

By the way, I spotted the introduction of a limited edition Marshmallow Flavoured Energy Milk (that stuff Emmi makes, formerly advertised by DJ Bobo). Now if you could stick that stuff over Lucky Charms cereals, surely some part of your brain's artificial flavour recognition centre will explode, no?

38
You can get a British-brand baking powder and baking soda in the Jelmoli grocery store in little containers that are about 1/4 cup each. But I usually just get mine at Coop or Migros, where baking powder is called "Backpulver" and baking soda is called "Natron..." something or other. They come in little packets. I've never had a problem using those in American recipes that call for baking powder or soda.

39
Lucky Charms... those little marshmallows are like styrofoam.

I ate lots of those back in my pot-smoking college days.

And I'd still eat 'em.

But what I really miss are Apple Jacks.

Yes Apple Jack are great as well. I had forgotten about them.
