My mother seriously believed Froot Loops had real fruit and encouraged us to eat it. A few years ago I mentioned this to my mom while visiting with my wife and kids. I said, “Mom, fruit is spelled “Froot” for a reason”.
Cereal ads used to say...”part of this nutritious breakfast”. and show eggs, toast, orange juice and a bowl of Cap’n Crunch. I guess technically, it was.
My Mom is barmy too.
