Conservatives: We are boycotting Froot Loops
Everyone else: Because they are unhealthy right?😀
Conservatives: 😐
Everyone else: Right? 😟
Honestly I was expecting it to be because they’re rainbow colored and thus turning the kids gay
The rainbow colored sugar milk that you end up with at the end of a bowl is concentrated gayness, and will make you 16-42% more gay.

Damn cancel culture.
How can they be unhealthy? They are called fruit loops and the loops are colored like fruit. That means the loops are fruit and fruit can't be unhealthy.

I'm just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, "reading is for liberals." Because you know it's coming.
I would say it's one or two years away. Two more years and the first person in congress is called a faggot for reading

They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they're told.

They've vowed to switch to their other favorite cereal, Racist Bran.

Another conservative tantrum, yet somehow everyone else is a snowflake.

"Froot loops were once part of a balanced breakfast"
Ummm... No. No, they never were.
Part of “a complete breakfast” and the commercial would show the bowl of cereal with like eggs and fruit and a ton of other shit. Like your 7 year old ordered room service at the Hilton before he’s late to Show and Tell.

A very small part. Like all the sugar you'd need for the day part.
...if you were doing CrossFit for 12 hours.

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.

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!!??
So are they gonna go after Dolly Parton next for mailing ~~woke-leftist indoctrination propaganda~~ children’s books out to kids on a monthly basis?
They’re conservatives, so more than likely.

In Other News: Conservatives hate dancing and music.
... But they absolutely love booze.
My friend got married in a conservative little Washington town near the Canadian border. When planning the wedding, they were told that city ordinance allowed them to choose either alcohol or music at the reception, but not both.
We ended up drinking and making Footloose jokes all night.

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.

At this point, I'm surprised these morons aren't launching homemade missiles at the sky to try and stop actual rainbows.

Alright. That’s even dumber than the beer thing a while ago. Let me try to guess what’s next.
Bacon. You see, more and more people from Muslim families say „fuck it“ and try out bacon. Conservatives, with that giant hole in their heads, will demand from the manufacturers to not sell bacon to muslims and ex muslims. The manufacturers will say „whatever“ and so the boycott starts. It will last for like 5 days and bacon sales will rise in the meantime.
If this doesn’t happens in the next two years, I will open and moderate a furry community.
I think you're a furry because Muslims aren't going to start eating pork in large numbers. However, what if they found a way to turn pigs gay?
Why wait two years? Be satisfied if your own skin, even if it has fur on the outside!

"The Froot Loops are turning the frickin frogs GAY" -- US Conservatives probably

American Froot Loops have such vibrant colors. Wtf.
That is because the US does not have as strict regulations regarding food colorings. Colors that Europe ban are all good in the US.
It's all the forever chemicals we allow in our food probably.
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.
