Honestly I was expecting it to be because they’re rainbow colored and thus turning the kids gay
The 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.

How 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.

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 🤦

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.

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.

They've vowed to switch to their other favorite cereal, Racist Bran.
Another conservative tantrum, yet somehow everyone else is a snowflake.
It's ALWAYS projection with these assholes.
EVERY TIME.
"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.

They are fruity, rainbow colored, AND they let kids read things that haven't been vetted by MTG and the leader of the Proud Boys?
Holy shit how has the offense to our freedoms, the danger to our children, and the disdain for proper god-fearing Americans perpetuated by Froot Loops been allowed to continue for so long!!??
Another perfect example of how conservatives are trash. How is anyone actually friends with anyone who supports the Republican party? I would be absolutely disgusted being around them.

So are they gonna go after Dolly Parton next for mailing ~~woke-leftist indoctrination propaganda~~ children’s books out to kids on a monthly basis?
They’re conservatives, so more than likely.
They can try... But Dolly Parton is a living national treasure. Going after her would cause their hearts to implode and they know it.
In Other News: Conservatives hate dancing and music.
... But they absolutely love booze.
My friend got married in a conservative little Washington town near the Canadian border. When planning the wedding, they were told that city ordinance allowed them to choose either alcohol or music at the reception, but not both.
We ended up drinking and making Footloose jokes all night.

Every 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.

At this point, I'm surprised these morons aren't launching homemade missiles at the sky to try and stop actual rainbows.

"The Froot Loops are turning the frickin frogs GAY" -- US Conservatives probably

Alright. 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.
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?
So when you open your community, what’s it going to be named?

American Froot Loops have such vibrant colors. Wtf.
That is because the US does not have as strict regulations regarding food colorings. Colors that Europe ban are all good in the US.
It's all the forever chemicals we allow in our food probably.
Standing against things rather than for things.
Looks like I'm buying Fruit Loops. 😝
Meanwhile I thought they were boycotting because the Fruit Loops are the colors of “the gays” /s
Conservative boycotts seem to be a dime a dozen, then everything goes back to normal because some manufactured moral outrage doesn’t really matter.
