Fruit Loops

What did you think it was going to be like, when it's spelled 'Froot Loops', and there's the cartoon Toucan on the box?

Is that honey baked ham in your avatar picture, or maple glazed? Perhaps oven-roasted turkey. Damn it! Now I need to eat a sandwich.

Honey baked, IMHO the world be a better place if we all enjoyed the simple pleasures of a good sandwich. :-D

If it comes in a box and is found in the middle of the grocery store, it's not real food. It's a food knock-off. Artificial flavors is another way of saying chemicals that don't even taste like the real thing. Throw some sugar on top and people eat it anyway. All because it sits on a shelf without going bad for like a year.

As with most food items these days, they don't make them like they used to. I remember when Golden Grahams was the bomb. Now, I can't even look at the box.
In a similar vein... as a kid I ate "Sugar Pops", then they became "Sugar Corn Pops", and now they're "Corn Pops" -- still just as yummy and unhealthy.

Ditto for "Sugar Smacks" which became "Honey Smacks".

Sugar became a dirty word. So did salt. The Salted Nut Roll became the Nut Roll or maybe Peanut Roll for a time. I think it's back to Salted Nut Roll now. If I may be excused, I need to visit the vending machine.

Oh, I imagine, 'Now Made With Sea Salt!' is on the label, you know the 'good' healthy salt, as opposed to the 'bad' salt of days gone by. :|

Keep in mind I prefer the taste of sea salt, and I like the versions where they don't add crap to it. With that being said, it is funny how much people will believe. My sister once told me sea salt didn't have sodium like regular salt. :doh:

I agree, I just enjoy watching how something that was 'taboo' is now a sales feature, especially one which suggests some sort of health benefits ('Made with all natural sea salt!').

I just had a bowl of fruit loops. Never had them before, that I can recall. Will never have them again. I was desperate: needed food and it was all I could find in the office kitchen (yes, way too lazy to walk the hundred yards to the store and actually buy something). To be fair, I had a few mouthfuls and threw the rest away. How do people eat that krap??? Tasted like I was eating fruit flavored sugar which, I suppose, I was. I did manage to eat a packet of peanuts instead. :-)

As someone who used to work there and make them, they are not my cup of tea. They are marketed to children for a reason. However, Kellogg has started produced Mini Wheats with fruit in the middle; I am quite enjoying them in the morning (a change of pace from two slices of toast and peanut butter)

Took them long enough. Someone else, don't recall if Post or General Mills, was doing shredded wheat with vaguely fruity filling 25 or 30 years ago when I was a kid. Also, I feel old for some reason this morning. :sigh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I don't remember the Post/General Mills product, although I suspect General Mills. Post tends to be sugar frosted Cocoa Bombs marketed towards children. The Kellogg product I currently have has identifiable raisins in the center as opposed to something akin to, but maybe not ACTUALLY, fruit.
