due to an agreement between Kellogg Company and the food police group Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).

Corporate suicide.

Good riddance.

Waaaay back when I was a kid we'd see commercials for: "The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals..." and the animals would stampede across the TV screen. We loved that commercial, and the cereal, too!

Why do lefties always want to take the fun out of life?

[WinOne4TheGipper]

How f-ing ridiculous.

I’m surprised a certain other group hasn’t complained yet about the product name itself. I mean, Fruit Loops ... come on now! :)

“[B]ecause you can’t even take your child to the grocery store because they’re clamoring for the products with characters on them.

A dead give away that a lib is speaking.

These are the people running the Democrat party these days and wanting to run your government and your life, too.

If Kellogg’s is really that easily intimidated, then they deserve to suffer the consequences. I sure miss the old Sugar Pops ads, where they used to brag about being “shot with sugar, through and through.” Cowboys, guns and sugar — totally politically incorrect.

> Fruit Loops cereal’s brightly colored mascot Toucan Sam ...

Wait until the carbo Nazis learn about Guinness.

On the bright side maybe we won’t see these proudcts advertised on TV and that will be less revenues for the MSM.

We can have lotsa fun finding new mascots for food products.

This started decades ago when poor Quake was given an Aussie “makeover” because he was able to pound the tar out of the twit Quisp. Gee, I wonder what they would say about the cute little Rice Krinkles girl, or the pre-Dig’em Smakeroo Kids (who punched each other on the way to their bowl of Sugar Smacks). The Aussie Cowboy Quake (formerly super-strong miner) was ultimately displaced by the inane Quangaroos (orange cereal, bleah!)

The Kelloggs characters had a little more polish than the Post & Quaker ones, and Tony the Tiger HAS been marketed to adults. He, Snap/Crackle/Pop and Toucan Sam have stood the test of time. Quaker’s Cap’n Crunch and General Mills’ Trix Rabbit can compete in recognizeability with any of them. Uh ohhhhhh ... “Trix (sugar sweetened cereal) are for kids!” Hmmm... is General Mills marketing to kids with that slogan?

[B]ecause you can’t even take your child to the grocery store because they’re clamoring for the products with characters on them.

Kids clamor for stuff all the time. Because you can't enforce discipline and say no to your kids when necessary, everyone should accommodate you? Fascists.

Rush was talking about CAIR today and the influence they yield with only 1700 members. Then he went on to speculate that CSPI is 3 pasty white guys with a fax machine.

Lefties just want to take the joy out of everyone’s life.
What a sad and pathetic bunch and a waste of air.

Part of growing up is learning to except being told no. Something that those nuts at CSPI also need to learn.

I never bought sugar cereals when my kids were young. They got Cheerios (the plain kind, not “honeynut” or other flavors) and they liked it!

Now my grandkids, I like to get them all sugared up and hyper and then let their mom & dad deal with them.

[TNdandelion]

Are toucans a protected species?

Why target Rice Krispies? They're not marinated in high fructose corn syrup or dyed some color not found in nature.

WTF is wrong with these people?
