I'm with you there Toolbox.
One of my great disillusionments of childhood was Lucky Charms. When I was 7 my mom was in the hospital and my cool, young aunt was taking care of me. We went grocery shopping and she let me pick the cereal. My mind boggled at the prospect of something other than Cheerios, Grape Nuts, or Raisin Bran. I had seen the ads for Lucky Charms and I love marshmallows. So, I picked Lucky Charms.
I should clarify that I love soft marshmallows. I loathe desiccated, hard marshmallows. When my teeth hit those dry, dehydrated bits, I was profoundly disappointed. Nothing in the ad had hinted that the moons, clovers and stars were anything but fluffy marshmallow treats. To paraphrase A Christmas Story, I left the table and "...went out to face the world again. Wiser."
