Q&A site The Straight Dope (via Reddit) reports that, just as that blue tropical bird mascot hasn’t changed since the cereal’s creation in 1962, neither has Froot Loops’ flavor — that’s flavor, singular. According to Wikipedia, “The cereal pieces are ring-shaped (hence ‘loops’) and come in a variety of bright colors and a blend of fruit flavors (hence ‘froot’),” and not “fruit.

I knew that. I was a big dork and did a blind taste test in high school out of curiosity. I wasn't really ever allowed to eat them, raised by a health food nut, but got my dad to buy me a box for the experiment.

I get my daughter a couple boxes of Froot Loops with Marshmallows for Christmas and her birthday. She treasures them.

It is news to me that Froot Loops is even spelled like that.

Far less newsworthy is that they are feeding you a manufactured flavor.
