Lucky Charms Leprechaun for St. Patty's

St. Patrick's day is approaching and this week's trivia question is all about this popular Irish holiday. Ask anybody who grew up in the 80's to name a famous leprechaun, and they'll probably mention "Lucky," the mascot for Lucky Charms breakfast cereal.

The lovable cartoon character was originally created in 1964, and except for a brief period in the 70's when he was replaced by a wizard, he's been pitching the marshmallow encrusted cereal ever since.

So, if you were watching Saturday morning cartoons back in the 80's, and a Lucky Charms commercial came on, you'd see Lucky the Leprechaun trying to dodge a pack of hungry kids bent on taking his cereal. What was the famous catch phrase that Lucky would always say before he tried to escape?

Bonus Question: You can probably recite the four marshmallow shapes that were in the original Lucky Charms cereal ("yellow moons, orange stars, pink hearts, and green clovers!") Blue diamonds were added in 1975, but what were the two regularly occurring shapes that were added in the 80's?

The answer to the Bonus Question (Blue diamonds were added to the Lucky Charms Marshmallow lineup in 1975, but what were the two regularly occurring shapes that were added in the 80's?) was Purple Horse Shoes and Red Balloons (how very 80's!)
