Seasonal Milk-Changing Cereals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

General Mills Has Brought Back Its 'Turn Milk Green' Cereals

— January 27, 2022 — Life-Stages
Following the success of the products on St. Patrick's Day in 2021, General Mills has opted to bring back its 'Turn Milk Green Lucky Charms' and 'Lucky Charms Traps and Treat' boxes for a limited time. The Turn Milk Green cereal features a St. Patrick's Day-themed set of marshmallows, such as clovers and pots of gold. What is unique about the clovers, though, is after a few seconds in a bowl of milk, the clovers will turn the milk green, providing festive fun for consumers.

For the Traps and Treats box, this is a regular St. Patrick's Day-themed box of Lucky Charms that does not turn milk green, however, it does provide a gamified experience. The cereal box features a set of instructions on how to transform the box into a trap for leprechauns, so children can roleplay catching the magical beings.
