it can't be just me eating them! I buy maybe a bag or two each year.

The story *I* heard is now on Wiki:

Lucky Charms was created in 1964 by product developer John Holahan. General Mills management challenged a team of product developers to use the available manufacturing capacity from either of General Mills' two principal cereal products—Wheaties or Cheerios—and do something unique. Holahan came up with the idea after a visit to the grocery store in which he decided to mix Cheerios with bits of Brach's Circus peanuts.[2]

Banana flavored marshmallow peanuts. That's all they are. And Lucky Charms taste the same and many people LOVE Lucky Charms. I think the biggest turn off for some people is the texture.
