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.

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.

It also fulfills our “loop” food needs, like donuts or bagels!

Trust me. And I’m a Nutritionist (because anyone can call themselves that).

Some instances remove profane words automatically from the posts, and it ends up getting propagated across the Lemmyverse.

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.

I strongly believe it.

Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these “huddle” meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.

The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.

One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, “Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?”

That factored into the reason for Froot Loops doing it I’m sure. “Crazies will boycott which results in free advertising”
