You’d be lucky to win this Lucky Charms bracelet that General Mills sent with some Lucky Charms.

Okay, not really.

It won’t give you good luck, but if you feel like you have any, winning this would probably drain whatever you had. But if you win this, and then you win the lottery, I believe I’m entitled to half of your winnings.

It’s another bag I received from General Mills! Get up from your seats and get excited! Plus Ultra!

While the previous bag had a lot of hearts, this one has a bunch of leaves and a whole lot of space. It’s 26 inches wide and 17 inches tall. You could fit an entire Trader Joe’s shopping trip into this bag. Oh, did I mention it’s a corduroy bag. Actually, you can probably see it in the photo. Now that I think about it, it kind of looks like a huge burnt Ruffles chip. Speaking of Ruffles, you could probably fit every Ruffles flavor into this bag.

You are looking at a snack box that General Mills sent me. It also came with a bunch of snacks that I’ve either eaten or donated.

It’s a solid plastic snack box. If you threw it at me, I’m pretty sure it would knock me out if you happen to hit my head. There are three pieces to the box: the lid, the compartments, and the bottom lid. A blid, if you will.

There are two small 2.5 inch square-ish compartments and one big almost 5-inch square compartment that comes with a divider. I’m not sure how it is as a snack box since I didn’t use it. Maybe if you win it and go on a road trip, you can let me know how it was.

When I was in high school, I ran track and my coaches would tell me that I didn’t have enough heart. That might’ve been a small issue when it came to competition, but I think my poor showings at track meet was because I didn’t have enough muscle, breath, stamina, water, and aerodynamics. While I may not have much heart, this bag I received from General Mills for a Cheerios promotion has a lot of hearts.

The bag is 14 inches wide, 12 inches tall, has a magnetic clasp, and has 1,089 hearts on it. (Note: That number is not correct because I don’t have the heart to count them nor the time.) There’s just one main pocket. No side pockets in or outside the bag. It could probably hold a box of cereal or a human heart.

You must have a lot of questions about these Count Chocula socks I got from General Mills. I’ll try to answer some of them:

Do these go up to my ankles, shins, knees, thighs?

They are no show socks. So expect little to no ankle coverage.

What shoe sizes do they fit?

According to the box, they are for shoe sizes 4-10.

What are the socks made out of?

97% polyester and 3% spandex.

Do they make my feet smell like Count Chocula?

Only if you put Count Chocula in the sock before placing your feet into them.

Will General Mills bring back Fruit Brute?

You’re asking the wrong person.

If I win this and throw this into someone’s Christmas stocking, will you tell them that I got it for free?

No. But who knows what Santa will do with you next year.
