The United Kingdom Issue

Please, does anyone know why Lucky Charms were taken out of Britain? This information would be much appreciated! Are they ever coming back?

Lucky Charms were banned in Britain due to the fact that they don't meet the guidelines of the food standards agency (FSA) as they contain GM ingredients and artificial colours, Brilliant Blue and Tartrazine Yellow. Also the Leprechaun mascot was offensive to the Irish as it stereotyped the Irish as thieves. However, some stores in the UK have started importing it in From the US But it is very expensive, Around £6 - £8 for a standard box and £1.50 - £3.00 for a single pot and can be bought in The large Tesco extra stores, Selfridges, B & M Stores, Sweets from Heaven and sometimes if you are lucky Pound land do them 2 for £2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:8A43:D000:C181:E60:7CA5:24F7 (talk) 23:54, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

You can buy them in Selfridges... but they are expensive!! I do remember when I was young when they were sold in ordinary supermarkets at normal prices. David 20:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

The irish find the character offensive and have asked for it to be banned from UK and Republic of Ireland stores. Its not a punishable offense to sell it but its a gentlemans agreement so you can still find a few places that stock it. Even when they did sell it here it didnt do very well because of the marshmellows (the yanks could care less if there was deep fried sugar cereals)

Never heard of the "gentleman's agreement", and couldnt' imagine it being a problem - more likely is that a) they were banned by the EU for having too many artificial stuff; or b) not bought by customers for having too many artificial stuff. (what do they taste like, honestly, they look disgusting!) --sony-youth^pléigh 11:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
