Lucky Charms Celebrates 50 Years
Lucky Charms cereal is commemorating 50 years of magically delicious fun with a 50-day celebration thanking fans young and old for keeping the magic alive all these years. For generations, Lucky Charms cereal has been delighting kids at heart with frosted toasted oats and delicious marshmallow charms, along with the mischief and whimsy of the iconic Lucky the leprechaun.
"Lucky Charms fans have always been the inspiration for keeping the magic alive and staying young at heart," says Nicci Trovinger, associate marketing manager for Lucky Charms. "Lucky Charms cereal is part of our pop culture and we want to thank fans everywhere by giving back with special surprises and fun for everyone, just as Lucky the Leprechaun has for the past 50 years."
Lucky's celebration of his fans kicked off during music's biggest award night of the year with a tribute ad featuring pop vocal sensation Pentatonix singing his famous magically delicious jingle. The festivities will culminate on the luckiest day of the year – and Lucky's 50th birthday – St. Patrick's Day (March 17). Throughout the 50-day celebration, surprises will pop-up in unexpected places across the country and online for everyone to get in on the fun.
