Talk about a frivolous lawsuit attempt.  I want to sue!!!  Barbie cereal doesn't have real Barbies in it. >:(  Ok, that sounded bizarre, but someone's bound to do it.

That really isn't the point.  The point is some things really shouldn't be taken literally.  Let alone sue over.

Kellogg's Berry Bones ... not actual Bones, just berry flavoured cereal in the shapes of bones.  Totally misleading.  So does this mean those dinosaur skeletons in museums are made from berries?

Kellogg's Ice Cream Cones .. not actual Ice Cream Cones, just little crunchy bits that look like Ice Cream Cones, but taste like Vanilla.  If it says Ice Cream Cones on the box, I expect there to be actual Ice Cream Cones in the box, not replicas.  If this cereal still existed, I would totally sue :D

You have to put the milk on 'em and let 'em sit for awhile. Otherwise they do have a texture similar to kitty litter or aquarium gravel.

Copyright or trademark reasons I believe. The words "fruit" and "loops" are both common nouns and can't be trademarked but Froot Loops is original.

Cap'n Crunch was like Obie Wan Kenobie.  Uncle Ben can only carry you so far, then you got to work it out for yourself!

Just tell Sophocles.  He knows.

^  I knew people who ate that batch.  Made 'em feel kinda sick and dizzy.  It was a toxic waste dump.  It's all the barrels of stuff that arrived from New Jersey with the chemical companies saying, we don't know what to do with this crap!  Little id we know, the cereal killers were buying it and throwing in some corn syrup and coloring and selling it to children!

It's a corn base shot up with various sugars, flavorings, and colorings!

(You know you're getting old when you're about to say "I remember when it was 'Sugar Corn Pops', not 'Corn Pops", but at least I don't remember 'Sugar Pops'.  Ditto for Sugar Smacks (Honey Smacks), and Sugar Crisp, Super Sugar Crisps, which ended up as Super Honey Crisps.)

Corn does not have to be "shot up with various sugars" - corn is sugar, and starch, and oil...  Corn syrup is after all, made from corn (it is not just in the word).

That's why you can make whiskey out of it.  It's more risk than corn, but yields a thousand times more per acre! Get yourself a fast car and get on board!
