From today’s show: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUCKY CHARMS! _ Lucky Charms cereal just turned 60. Three quick facts:
• In 1964, John Holahan, a vice president and developer at General Mills, took Cheerios, added Brach’s Circus Peanuts candy, and then poured some milk.
• Lucky Charms was the first-ever cereal to include marshmallows. The freeze-dried marshmallow bits that put the charm in Lucky Charms are referred to in the cereal biz as marbits.
• 48 percent of all Lucky Charms consumed are enjoyed by those 18 or over. Adult fans of Lucky Charms tend to wax nostalgic about their favorite breakfast cereal.

I am sad to report this, but I am not totally surprised …. MEN PREFER VIDEO GAMES TO WIVES _ Men would rather play a new computer game than spend a night of passion with their significants. A survey of over 1,000 men found that a whopping 72 percent said they would give up a night with the wife to play a new game. Even when only talking about games they already owned and had played before 32 percent still opted for the video game console.
The more I think about it, the more I like it. A DOG SHOULD BE PRESIDENT _ It’s 209 days until the presidential election and a dog should be president!
