Talk:Froot Loops/Archive 1

Comment
There should be talk of when the flavors were introduced. I remember it used to be just the orange yellow and pink.198.53.176.96 (talk) 04:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I want to add some stuff on the different forms of Froot Loops does anyone have any helpful feed back?--Pjones194 (talk) 16:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC) I'm not sure Banana is a flavor of fruit loop. At least not in the US...-68.201.56.240

Also, Marshmallow is flavour of froot loop? I believe they are supposed to be Lemon, Lime, Blueberry, Cherry, Orange, and Grape, but they tend to form a rather singular 'Froot Loop taste'-Mpbx3003

I was reading on straightdope.com that Kelloggs has claimed that all of the delicious loops are the same flavor. http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mfroot.html --Atr0p1s 12:55, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * This was also stated on Unwrapped. PrometheusX303 18:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Can we say 'obviously inspired by Donald Duck's nephews' without evidence to back it up? RiotGearEpsilon


 * Probably not. I changed it to "possibly". PrometheusX303 18:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

errors
A few errors on this page. The Australian version of Froot Loops are actually called Fruit Loops. And it states that the colours do not represent different flavours at the start, but then later goes into explaining that the different colours are different flavours (ie, red is cherry).


 * No, the Aussie ones say "Froot Loops". I just checked my pantry. :)

Not good. I am going to edit this now, I will delete the tag about it being all the same flavour (as I myself have noticed a subtle difference in Fruit Loops) and also mention the alternate spelling JayKeaton 04:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Um the only external citation in this article directly contradicts what the article says. According to Kelloggs, its all one flavour.  See the link above.


 * Jaykeaton, you've confessed to changing the article based on original research. The colors may "represent" different flavors, but the flavor is the same. PrometheusX303 16:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)


 * They are all the same flavor. If you try to guess what they are with your eyes closed you'll see that you can't do any better than random. I always thought they tasted differently until I tried this and it became clear to me that my brain was taking the ambiguious "fruit loop" flavor and matching it up to whatever I thought it was supposed to taste like (i.e. red for cherry). --Fastfission 14:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The flavor you taste is likely real, but part of the blend. As you said, you associate the color with a particular flavor, and that one becomes most prominent. PrometheusX303 21:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Please...
...purchase me a teddy bear ;). I do not have one that is fuzzy yet.  I believe we should mention information on the Tooty Frooties, or in another another another words words, the Malt-O-Meal kind. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheFuzzyFive (talk • contribs) 00:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

Fruit Loops recalled
What about publishing this news in the article? --Razzairpina (talk) 22:56, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

The supposed "Paxton v. Kellogg's lawsuit"
This suit does not appear to exist. I checked WestLaw's database of all federal and state cases, as well as the "all news" database and not one reference to it. The citation used was to an unreliable blog (with a bias towards tort reform) that cited Wikipedia, complete with "citation needed". All the other citations online are unreliable sites rewording or copying Wikipedia. If this is going to stand, it needs reliable legs. --Bobak (talk) 13:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Huh?
Under varieties, this article states: "Kelloggs made several varieties of scientific foods..." Scientific? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.168.152.76 (talk) 01:20, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Smell
The Phrase " While most toucans have sense of smell, he is portrayed to have the ability to smell out Froot Loops from great distances..." is awkward and doesn't make any sense. -50.156.18.22 (talk) 20:42, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
