They switched to mountain dew and a bag of Doritos long ago.
Boycott PepsiCo!
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.
At this point, I'm surprised these morons aren't launching homemade missiles at the sky to try and stop actual rainbows.
Funnily enough, every year in early July they go nuts launching Chinese-made missiles at the sky to CREATE rainbows.
Shhh don't give them any ideas!
Auch a cool thing to do by froot loops! Wouldn't have heard of it without that boycott! Come on. Republicans, keep the Streisand effect going!
Wouldn't have heard of it without that boycott!
That factored into the reason for Froot Loops doing it I'm sure. "Crazies will boycott which results in free advertising"
Standing against things rather than for things.
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.
Looks like I'm buying Fruit Loops. 😝
They've vowed to switch to their other favorite cereal, Racist Bran.
Toucan Sam has been the Fruit Loops mascot since 1963. Their kids (and grandkids) have already been "indoctrinated" with all the colors of the rainbow. (I like the red ones, myself. Lol)
All froot loops are the same flavor. Still valid to prefer red based on looks though.
Oh my God, do you think Skittles will be safe?
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!!??
They decry cancel culture, while canceling any culture they can find. The sad, sad hypocrisy.
"kindness, acceptance, and inclusivity"--three things conservatives hate
I love how conservatives throw around the word "woke" like it actually bothers anyone lol. Even my dad last week at Thanksgiving made a comment about how the Marvel movies were getting too woke. Like WTF does that mean? Lmao
Always ask them to define woke. What they mean is progressive but they don't want to say that because it makes them seem like shitty dinosaurs screeching about the way Elvis moves his hips.
" 'Woke' means anything I've been told to not like."
Did you immediately go into his bedroom, take his alarm clock into the livingroom, smash it with a hammer, then look at him and say "you're welcome."?
lol
edit: They would try to "boycott" sunlight & water if they could.
Wish they'd boycott air
Since millions of children have already been "indoctrinated" by the rainbow cereal, isn't it already 60 years too late?
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.
"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.
I wish there was a way to harness their hate and direct it against their god-king, Trump. Get them to destroy their entire movement and fracture into a million, feckless pieces.
Imagine being such a coward that you need to shelter yourself from breakfast cereal. I’m so glad that Darwinism is taking these clowns out one-by-one.
What the fuck is wrong with them?
