Matewis: Also, I'm starting to feel like a noob Fruit Loop eater talking to you :P Buuut, I
am out of practice though, seeing as you can't buy it here anymore :-\
awalterj: Grocery stores here still carry them but not the original ones, the new ones don't have any artificial flavors and coloring and even advertise this as if it was good. Good for health, sure, but in terms of taste it's a downgrade.**
And it even leads people to falsely believe Froot Loops always had no taste, as in the
post above where SnakeSqueaker linked to a conspiracy theory claiming all loops tasted the same.
Anyway, I would be too impatient nowadays and just grab a handful of Loops straight out of the box while posting stuff on the forums and taking a gulp of milk with the non-mouse hand for lubrication.
I have almost choked on Froot Loops on several occasions while eating them hastily out of the box, your throat gets dry very quickly
**edit: I haven't actually tasted the new Froot Loops but I can extrapolate that they have less taste by comparing the case to M&Ms where the same thing happened.
I'm happy to report that I found some Fruit Loops being sold here the other day. They're back! Unfortunately, like you I discovered that they changed it. These have a pretty bland taste, and even look less colorful than what I remember. Gone are the days where you'd find 3 or 4 stuck together in a glorious sugary mess :'(
Didn't stop me from eating the entire thing in the span of one afternoon+evening though, but I don't think I'll buy it again. I'd rather remember them for what they were, and how they helped me get through first, second and third grade.
