Today I Learned: Froot Loops Are Actually All the Same Flavor


First things first, yes, check the box. They’re spelled “Froot Loops,” not “Fruit Loops.” We know, right?

Second, the outrage. Honestly, is there no end to the high fructose corn syrup lies? It turns out the “fruit flavored” circles touted by Toucan S[c]am are actually just “froot-blend”-flavored.Yep, all those pretty ROYGBV dyes don’t mean diddly, since each color tastes exactly the same!

I used to love Froot Loops as a child and it was a treat when my mom allowed us to have them as she was super strict about sugary cereals. I used to actually eat them separately (was never a fan of milk in cereal but liked it dry as a snack) and try to distinguish the different "tastes".

Now I know my entire childhood was just a lie.

Did it really take you this long to realize this? I noticed this when I was a kid, lol.

They weren't all the same flavor back in the 60s. Which is the last time I ate them.

But have you ever eaten Cap'n Crunch until your gums bleed?

This is partially why I stopped eating boxed cereal.

I didn't eat Cap'n Crunch precisely for that reason. Or Mom would buy the Crunch Berry variety, and I'd fish out the berries and leave the mouth-abrading stuff for my little sister.

Oh yes they were all the same flavor per Kelloggs own disclosures. The "Flavor" of all the loops has never changed.

FYI
