Froot Loops Cereal Straws Views
Once I opened the packaging I realized the truth about Froot Loops Cereal Straws. Ity’s packaging indicated that this is an entirely different food not meant to be exclusively consumed in conjunction with the cereal line or for that matter even for breakfast. The actual straws appear comprised of thin layers wrapped upon one another of the cereal around what looks like white frosting in the middle of the tube. For lack of a better comparison, they look like a carbon copy of Pepperidge Farm Traditional Pirouette Cookies that was designed and packaged specifically for kids.
When you open the foil-lined pouch, you're immediately hit with that commonly-known smell that sugary artificially-flavored cereal has. You're like, alright, so it's basically Froot Loops, but in a straw shape. But here's the thing: they're not loaded with sugar and super-sweet like Froot Loops — each of the six-inch straws only clock in at 45 calories. Maybe Kellogg's realized what they were doing, inflicting this insane invention on children, so they cut back on the sugar and added a whole bunch of vitamins and nutrients to make them seem healthy. As expected, there are tons of artificial colors and flavors, but get this: there's no high fructose corn syrup.
Our take: Froot Loops Cereal Straws are actually kind of okay. We have a whole boxful of these things left over, and we're not dreading eating them again (unlike when we reviewed Morningstar Veggie Bacon Strips — those went straight into the garbage). At least they won't go to waste. For the next week or so, we'll be happily breaking up the straws and eating them for breakfast. At $4.29 for a 8.8 oz box (that's like what? eight bucks a pound?), they're expensive, and not a good value at all.
