This is the second in my week of General Mills Retro Cereal Boxes Giveaways. You can enter the first day's giveaway here.
Today I'm highlighting the retro box of my husband's favorite cereal - Lucky Charms! Like Cheerios, Lucky Charms came out in 1965.
Check out this interesting fact: in 1965, the average income per year was just $6,450! Wow - a dollar must have gone a lot farther in those days.
The retro Lucky Charms box features a Lucky Leprechaun puppet that you can cut out and suspend from strings. It looks fun; I plan to put it together with my girls.
I definitely put on puppet shows as a child. My sister and I were obsessed with the film "The Sound of Music" (which coincidentally came out in 1965), so we were always trying to recreate the lonely goatherd sequence! We never had any actual string puppets, though, so I think we would have enjoyed even a cardboard one like the Lucky Leprechaun.
Want to win a retro cereal gift pack, featuring all five cereals, a retro-designed t-shirt, and a $10 Target gift card?
To enter, leave a comment below telling us if you ever put on puppet shows as a kid, and if you did, if you ever mastered the Lucky Charms Leprechaun Puppet.

2) Follow Frugally Blonde by email

Please leave a separate comment for each entry. I will pick the winners from each days' contest by random number generator at the end of the week.
Also, remember that all five retro cereal boxes are available at Target until March 7!
I was provided with the above listed cereal gift pack from General Mills in exchange for this review, and the giveaway prizes are provided by General Mills. I was not compensated in any other way, and the opinions are my own.
I never put on a puppet show. But I liked watching them! :)

My friends and I did put on puppet shows as kids but, never with the Lucky Charms Leprechaun .. although, that could have been fun!
ReplyDeleteI never did put on a puppet show as a kid - I was usually the nerd, in the back, with her nose in a book. :p

We did puppet shows as a kid, but we never had the Lucky Charms puppet. We loved the cereal, but only got it once in a great while as a special treat. My husband and I both love it still and still get it now for a once in awhile treat. As a kid though, the main puppet I remember playing with was a Cookie Monster puppet that my Godmother made for me. He evn had his own cookie that he could "eat".
ReplyDeleteWe put puppet shows on when I was a child but we had hand puppets. Never had the Lucky Charm Puppet

ReplyDeleteI honestly don't remember putting on puppet shows at least not until I got older and did them with the kids I babysat for...

ReplyDeleteI put on lots of puppet shows as a kid. We used to hide behind the couch, and usually used paper bag puppets. I never had a LUcky Charms puppet. But we loved to eat the cereal. We always ate all the marshmallows first!

I don't remember putting on puppet shows! I never had a Lucky Charms puppet because my Mom was diabetic and only bought unsweetened cereal.

Oh my goodness, this is bringing me back to the days I used to drive my older brothers nuts. I loved to do puppet shows and of course my parents used to make my brothers watch since I spent so much time in preparing for them. I made my own puppets, never heard of the Lucky Leprechaun puppet, but maybe my brothers would have enjoyed it more if I had!

Puppet Shows!....my sisters and I had a whole collection of hand puppets and marionettes and we proudly put on shows for whoever would watch! We even put on shows when nobody was there but the 3 of us! We had some great puppets but unfortunatly I never had a Lucky Charms Lepruchan puppet. I di love the Cereal and adored the commercials but *sigh* no puppet!

I never did puppet shows and I wasn't even aware there was a Lucky Charms puppet either. It would have been fun though
