This is coming on to the market way too late for us to enjoy with our Saturday Morning Cartoons, but better late than never. Kids (or adults who still eat Lucky Charms on a regular basis—we're not here to judge), the future is now. Some genius has invented a device to sift the healthier bits of the cereal out of the cereal, leaving you with only the dehydrated marshmallows, just as nature intended.
Inventor Tom Lombardi explains, "The holes are sized to catch most charms, you should be able to sift > 90% of them." You'll just have to hand pick the rest if you want the ultimate sugar high, just like we did in the old days. [via Foodiggity]
