ZeroCoolConservatives Are Boycotting Froot Loops for Creating a Library of Diverse Children's Books Online
babyfarmerHuh. I never really noticed they spelled it “Froot” before. Weird.
What, did you think there was actual fruit in it?
The TV commercial told me it was part of a balanced and healthy breakfast!
Flying SquidIn the 80s, according to the commercials, that was cereal, fruit, toast, juice and milk. What kid could have all that for breakfast unless servings were all doll-sized?
Wait until you realise that chocolatey creme likely contains no chocolate or cream.
Chocolatey creme?
Why call it fruit if it doesn’t have it?
RQGAmerican Froot Loops have such vibrant colors. Wtf.
It’s all the forever chemicals we allow in our food probably.
That is because the US does not have as strict regulations regarding food colorings. Colors that Europe ban are all good in the US.
viking“Froot loops were once part of a balanced breakfast”
Ummm… No. No, they never were.
A very small part. Like all the sugar you’d need for the day part.
…if you were doing CrossFit for 12 hours.
The day? More like the week.
Part of “a complete breakfast” and the commercial would show the bowl of cereal with like eggs and fruit and a ton of other shit. Like your 7 year old ordered room service at the Hilton before he’s late to Show and Tell.
Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for February 28, 1989 | GoComics.com
Hobbes: Blechh. I feel sick. Calvin: Ok, c'mon that's only your second bowl of cereal. Hobbes: This stuff is pure sugar. Calvin: But it's fortified with eight essential vitamins, so it's good for you. Hobbes: Give me a break, this is like eating a bowl or milk duds. Calvin: Look, it says right on the box, "Part of a wholesome, nutritious, balanced breakfast." Hobbes: And they show a guy eating five grapefruits, a dozen bran muffins... Calvin :You know why you shake like that? Vitamin deficiency, I'll bet.
ArugulaZIronic as they're packed into every box.
Conservatives: we are boycotting Froot Loops?
Everyone else: Because they are unhealthy right?😀
Conservatives: 😐
Everyone else: Right?
Damn cancel culture.
Honestly I was expecting it to be because they’re rainbow colored and thus turning the kids gay
proleThe rainbow colored sugar milk that you end up with at the end of a bowl is concentrated gayness, and will make you 16-42% more gay.
KeriKitty (They(/It))Aw YEAH I’m gonna chug that stuff >:3
So gay and diabetic?
idunnololzHow can they be unhealthy? They are called fruit loops and the loops are colored like fruit. That means the loops are fruit and fruit can’t be unhealthy.
It also fulfills our “loop” food needs, like donuts or bagels!
Trust me. And I’m a Nutritionist (because anyone can call themselves that).
They switched to mountain dew and a bag of Doritos long ago.
Boycott PepsiCo!
They've vowed to switch to their other favorite cereal, Racist Bran.

Whites-only Pebbles
Melody FwygonEvery time a brand falls onto the “socially conservative ban list” I just cackle evilly.
Yes. The death by a thousand cuts is very fitting for these people who seem to lack critical thinking skills and won’t learn.
It’s almost like people think children need to know how to be decent human beings and they know that some parents will refuse to teach that skill.
It’s almost as if…as if society at large has already decided that the “status quo” they are vehemently defending needs to die. It’s like society has decided people need to be better. So that we don’t like; kill each other off stupidly over stupid fucking bullshit in stupid wars like stupid idiots being stupidly fucking greedy and unrelenting.
TechyDadI laugh even more when they buy that product too show themselves shooting it/burning it/ or otherwise getting rid of it via some video on social media.
I highly doubt Kellogg’s cares if someone buys 5 boxes of Froot Loops because they want to eat them or use them for target practice to prove how MAGA they are. Kellogg’s has their money either way.
Poisoners of children! That ‘food’ should be a illegal.
trying to distract from the sugar and coloring by making a website? F them
Actually Froot Loops the good guys now, if you criticize them that means you’re a bad, mean Republican.
It seems… I still hate all sugar corporations with vigor. Luckily I got used to downvotes from tankies first day at lemmy
I’m just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, “reading is for liberals.” Because you know it’s coming.
I would say it's one or two years away. Two more years and the first person in congress is called a faggot for reading
Idiocracy here we come 🤦
Tf is removed?
I’ve heard of some instances removing slurs
Some instances remove profane words automatically from the posts, and it ends up getting propagated across the Lemmyverse.
I think your instance censored the word “fa**ot”
Nothing showing removed on mine
But what of your actually talking about a bundle of sticks……?
They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they’re told.
cathykYup, looks like the long game is to keep them uneducated, pissed off and armed to the teeth.
They say it now just not publicly.
I strongly believe it.
Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these “huddle” meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.
The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.
One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, “Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?”
idiot corporate managers who insist on the word ‘huddle’ instead of ‘meeting’. Ugh.
Kinda used to all the corpo lingo.
Remember to stand still facing windows and walls, walk/stand under heavy but precariously-placed objects, things like that ^.^
Auch a cool thing to do by froot loops! Wouldn't have heard of it without that boycott! Come on. Republicans, keep the Streisand effect going!
Kids already love disgusting sugar hoops. Why not put them to good use?
CileTheSaneWouldn’t have heard of it without that boycott!
That factored into the reason for Froot Loops doing it I’m sure. “Crazies will boycott which results in free advertising”
rustyfishAlright. That’s even dumber than the beer thing a while ago. Let me try to guess what’s next.
Bacon. You see, more and more people from Muslim families say „fuck it“ and try out bacon. Conservatives, with that giant hole in their heads, will demand from the manufacturers to not sell bacon to muslims and ex muslims. The manufacturers will say „whatever“ and so the boycott starts. It will last for like 5 days and bacon sales will rise in the meantime.
If this doesn’t happens in the next two years, I will open and moderate a furry community.
So when you open your community, what’s it going to be named?
I had better be baconpromise.
Noted.
I think you’re a furry because Muslims aren’t going to start eating pork in large numbers. However, what if they found a way to turn pigs gay?
Why wait two years? Be satisfied if your own skin, even if it has fur on the outside!
