Well, the next milestone is 500, but I don't know what the icon will be. Double-diamond? Big Star? THE GOLDEN SIFTER?!
A while back I remember a hint mentioned that it might be one of the other Lucky Charms marshmallow shapes.
Notice how the front of the box and the marshmallow shapes have changed over time.

I also found this. I didn't know General Mills had tried chocolate Lucky Charms. Scroll down to the fifth post.

Oh, yeah. I knew there was a chocolate Lucky Charms (Berry too!) Chocolate's a big hit at my house. Nothing like adding more sugar to sugar!
bettin on a horseshoe....green..no..purple..yeah purple.
cool. Maybe the first one to reach 500 should get to choose. :-)
As long as the charm looks 'gem-like', I'll be satisfied.
So it better be shiny!
ooohhhh a purple horseshoe!! brilliant idea!!
From Wikipedia on "Horseshoes":
"Horseshoes are considered a good luck charm in many cultures. A common tradition is that if a horseshoe is hung on a door with the two ends pointing up (as shown here) then good luck will occur. However, if the two ends point downwards then bad luck will occur. Traditions do differ on this point, though. In some cultures, the horseshoe is hung points down (so the luck pours onto you); in others, it is hung points up (so the luck doesn't fall out); still in others it doesn't matter so long as the horseshoe has been used (not new), was found (not purchased), and can be touched. In all traditions, luck is contained in the shoe and can pour out through the ends."

I couldn't resist posting the part about "Horseshoes" and "Faeries":
Another theory concerning the placing of horseshoes above doorways is to ward off Faeries (the Celtic kind); the theory being that Faeries are repelled by iron and as horseshoes were an easily available source of iron, they could be nailed above a door to prevent any unwanted, otherworldly guests. One can see how the custom, as people began to forget the stories concerning the Fair Folk, eventually morphed into a simple good luck charm. It is also possible that the Romans, when arriving in Celtic countries, came across horseshoes nailed above doors and simply borrowed the concept of horseshoes as good luck charms, failing to understand the background of the Celtic custom, and made their use more widespread.
How about using a 20x20 resize of their avatar picture?
