Trivia: What 1960s General Mills character shares a name with an NBA mascot?
Lucky the Leprechaun
Buzz the Bee
Chip the Wolf
Trix Rabbit
The correct answer is Lucky the Leprechaun
So why is this answer correct? : Lucky — no relation to the mascot of the Boston Celtics — was the idea of product developer John Halahan. He first appeared on a Lucky Charms cereal box in 1964 And has been a staple of the brand’s ads and box design ever since, save for a period in 1975 when he was replaced by a sneaker-wearing wizard named Waldo. Waldo lasted less than a year before Lucky was brought back.
