Kinda makes me think of the people who like Lucky Charms cereal... oh yes, I did go there!
I was thinking about how terrible that cereal was again and I seemed to recall that I'd try to let the "charms" sit in the milk a while to see if they'd soften up. Nope. The outside would just get slimey while preserving the deep chalky texture inside!
I also seem to recall the deformed Cheerio part of the cereal was remarkably dense and flavorless. I never thought about it before, but I think Lucky Charms tops my list of worst cereals I've ever had.
It's really sad it's marketed to kids... yuck!
