Froot Loops probably don't lead your list when it comes to major differences between Canada and the United States. You might opt for Canadians' love affair with hockey, or poutine. Still, a Redditor blew the minds of many on the r/mildlyinteresting subreddit with a photo of the countries' Froot Loops side by side. On one side was a notably flat collection of colors in the familiar ring shape. The other side was resplendent, like adjusting your phone from the battery saver mode. "I assume the American ones are brightly colored," a user guessed. Their hunch was correct, as the major...

Sales of Kellogg’s Froot Loops have plunged in recent weeks after activists warned Americans the popular breakfast cereal contains harmful food dyes absent in versions marketed in other countries. Food Babe “Vani Hari,” who’s been at the forefront of bringing the issue to the public’s attention, revealed Wednesday Froot Loops sales “are down 54.6% in the last 12 weeks.” “Our campaign to get artificial food dies out of Kellogg cereals is working,” Hari told followers on X, congratulating them on making their voices heard by voting with their dollars at the supermarket. “Toucan Sam is looking for a new job,”...

Is this the most-wanted cereal killer? An ex-FDA employee has revealed what he claims is the most harmful breakfast cereal on the US market. Dr. Darin Detwiler, who previously served as a food safety expert for the agency, told the Daily Mail that Kellogg’s Froot Loops is the worst of the bunch, pointing out that the rainbow rings are “heavily processed and contain high levels of added sugars, artificial dyes and preservatives, which are linked to health concerns.” Given the laundry list of bad-for-you ingredients in the bagged cereal, Detwiler says excess sugar is the least odious. A 1-cup serving...

We’re about to access a part of your brain that holds all of your childhood memories. Ready? Kellogg’s Cereal Straws. Are you with us? The brand was ahead of its time with ditching plastic straws by creating its own that were inspired by cereal. It’s been a long time — 12 years, to be exact — but Kellogg’s is officially bringing back the treat that makes drinking the milk at the bottom of your bowl more fun. Kellogg’s is reviving two of the crunchy Cereal Straws flavors: Froot Loops and Cocoa Krispies. So whether you prefer the fruity taste of...

Froot Loops and pizza. What a combination. Fong’s Pizza in Iowa has recently created a Froot Loops pizza, which has mozzarella, Froot Loops, Greek yogurt and condensed milk This isn’t the first time the restaurant, which has four locations in Iowa, has experimented with Froot Loops on pizza. In 2015 when Fong’s opened a location in Ankeny, Iowa, the pizza was not well received. Recent Stories from thedenverchannel.com "It’s been retired for nearly five years and we felt why not bring it back for some fun after what’s been a challenging year for many,” said Fong Pizza’s Gwen Page. “[General...

Most people in the UK are committed meat eaters – but for how long? My new research into the views of meat eaters found that most respondents viewed veganism as ethical in principle and good for the environment. It seems that practical matters of taste, price, and convenience are the main barriers preventing more people from adopting veganism – not disagreement with the fundamental idea. This could have major implications for the future of the food industry as meat alternatives become tastier, cheaper and more widely available. My survey of 1,000 UK adult men and women found that 73% of...

This is a shout out to all the Anons who have worked so hard for months on the Q boards to bake Q's drops for us. THANQ, Anons!. The Q team doesn't like it when they receive praise, but hey, they don't have time to read websites (FR) and besides, they can't stop me! THANQ, Q!!!! It just needed to be said. This thread is a friendly collaborative place for FReepers to analyze information and share opinons. FReepers have a wide variety of reasons for investigating Q Anon content; this is not the appropriate place to criticize or badger...

I hesitate to start a thread like this... My husband called me a little while ago to say that the sports guy on AM 1100 in Cleveland was breaking into Rush briefly to say that there are a ridiculous number of contrails over NE OH. My husband, who was driving at the time, said sure enough, dozens of them. Looking outside right now I can probably count at least 20 criss-crossing the sky. So anyway, the sports guy (Mike Trivisonno), who is doing his own show now, is spouting off about how "SOMETHING" must be going on, even though "officials"...

Ceuta, Spain, Jul 25 (EFE).- A Spaniard held for two years without charge by the United States at its prison camp in Guantanamo denounced terrorism here Tuesday, while saying he was unjustly jailed, that mistreatment harmed his eyesight and that he intends to sue President George W. Bush for millions of dollars. Hamed Abderraman Ahmed, who was absolved by the Spanish judicial system in June of allegedly having links to Al Qaeda, discussed his capture in Afghanistan and his confinement at the U.S. military prison in far eastern Cuba. Ahmed was captured in Afghanistan and transferred to U.S. Army custody...

Given the kinds of cases they’re getting these days, French courts are starting to resemble clown circuses. Last week a French court had to listen to “Goldfinger” George Soros’ whine about his human rights being violated for an inside trading conviction. This week, a French court gets to listen to Venezuelan “International Man of Mystery” Carlos The Jackal carp about not getting enough terrorist-issue Froot Loops inside his French jail cell. Apparently, pate and champagne aren’t happening for him these days in Paris. And for the Shagadelic Jackal, that’s no fair. The Austin-Powers-era Marxist terrorist is actually suing in a...

From Brokeback to Brownback: Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, a potential presidential candidate, says he meant no offense to gays and lesbians when he used the word "fruits" in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. In a lengthy profile titled "God's Senator," the magazine quotes the Kansas Republican as criticizing countries like Sweden that allow civil unions between same-sex couples. "You'll know them by their fruits," Brownback said, quoting a biblical passage from Matthew 7:19. Rolling Stone writer Jeff Sharlet said in the story, appearing in the magazine's current issue, that Brownback appeared to be calling gay Swedes "fruits," a derogatory...

WASHINGTON, DC --- Howard Dean alerted Democratic Party leaders that it is time to start talking about the moral values behind their liberal beliefs. "The truth is we're Democrats because of our moral values," said Dean. "We need to focus on the morality behind having sex outside of marriage in the White House, killing unborn children without government interference, creating life in order to destroy it for medical purposes, euthanizing the old and the infirm so they are not a burden to us, teaching oral sex and the values of homosexuality to our elementary school children, creating a welfare state...

Hey Mel or any Mel-knower...I want his address very badly. I wanna send him a letter and I need his address. Can anybody help? Not his Icon address, I've got all that but his real personal address... I mean no harm to him so I guess you can say he is safe.

Researchers help define what makes a political conservative By Kathleen Maclay, Media Relations | 22 July 2003 BERKELEY – Politically conservative agendas may range from supporting the Vietnam War to upholding traditional moral and religious values to opposing welfare. But are there consistent underlying motivations? Four researchers who culled through 50 years of research literature about the psychology of conservatism report that at the core of political conservatism is the resistance to change and a tolerance for inequality, and that some of the common psychological factors linked to political conservatism include: * Fear and aggression * Dogmatism and intolerance of...
