Froot Loops

[FAST6191]

My cereal addiction is well known but I can not stand the vast majority of American breakfast cereals. Indeed after about two months there I was looking around for diet cereals just to avoid the sugar (most of the ones I found tasted like eating twigs). Should someone have been wandering around with a box of weetabix or malt wheats they would have probably been mugged for it.

I have seen this fruit/froot loops thing first hand though and having had the dubious pleasure of sampling such a thing I still have no idea why people go nuts for it. We have a decent import shop where I am at right now and even when the exchange rate was 2 to 1 (looking at around £10 for a smaller box) they were still selling or if someone is heading stateside that is one of the main requests for "anything you want me to pick up?". In some ways it is almost in booze cruise territory.

Mountain dew I can pass up quite happily but grape soda is another thing entirely.

If you're going to go for grape soda, go for Welch's or Tropicana Twister. YUM!

It's strange over here Welch's only sell grape juice and other fruit juices. My friend is going to Texas soon for holiday/vacation and she said she will buy me a box of Froot Loops.

I've only ever seen welch's juice as well.
Though when we got Welch's grape juice it tasted like someone had already drank the juice and vomited it back into the bottle.

Dunno if they changed what it tastes like these days though >_> That was a few years ago.

LIES!

Welch's Grape Juice is perhaps my favourite drink.

Hmm grape juice was never my favourite drink anyway. My heart is still set on Froot Loops.

Wow. A digital food fight? Awesomeness! Now I've seen everything!

I don't mind Welch's grape juice. I'm just not used to pure, unadulterated juice, you know? Usually it's got other stuff in it to Americanize the flavor.

Fruit Loops, however, are definitely a split-sided affair. I myself don't care for them. They taste more or less like the sweetness was put at a higher priority than the fruit taste. Also, they get very soggy very quickly, which is a pet peeve of mine. Once again, it's all down to personal preference.

I finally got my Froot Loops! My friend bought me a box from Blue Water shopping mall. They taste so good!
