“Be a Fruit Loop in a world of Cheerios”

“Be a Froot/Fruit Loop in a world of Cheerios”—that is, to be colorful and to stand out—is a saying that has been printed on many images. “To me at least she is a true fruit loop in a world of cheerios” was published in the Courier Post (Cherry Hill, NJ) on April 28, 2006. “Rite now i feel like a fruit loop in a world of cheerios” was posted on Twitter on March 24, 2009.
   
“Be a fruit loop in a world of cheerios” was posted on Twitter on March 30, 2009.
 
“Froot Loops are just gay Cheerios” is another saying about the two cereals.
   
         
Wikipedia: Froot Loops
Froot Loops is a brand of sweetened, fruit-flavored breakfast cereal produced by Kellogg’s and sold in many countries. The cereal pieces are ring-shaped (hence “loops”) and come in a variety of bright colors and a blend of fruit flavors (hence “froot”, a cacography of fruit). However, there is no actual fruit in Froot Loops, they are all the same flavor. This has led to different methods of production pin the UK. Kellogg’s introduced Froot Loops in 1963. Originally, there were only red, orange, and yellow loops, but green, purple, and blue were added during the 1990s. In the UK, Froot Loops are purple, green and orange, due to the lack of natural colourings for yellow, red and blue, and are also larger in shape.
 
Wikipedia: Cheerios
Cheerios is an American brand of cereal manufactured by General Mills, consisting of pulverized oats in the shape of a solid torus. In some countries, including the United Kingdom, Cheerios is marketed by Cereal Partners under the Nestlé brand; in Australia and New Zealand, Cheerios is sold as an Uncle Tobys product. It was first manufactured in 1941 and was originally called CheeriOats.

She was the one who taught me how to shuffle cards, speak a few words of Italian, her native tongue, and short-sheet beds. I’ve never met anyone even remotely like her; to me at least she is a true fruit loop in a world of cheerios.

A Fruit Loop In A World Full Of Cheerios!
Why blend in when you were born to stand out?

Bailee Elaine Lynd
“A fruit loop in a world full of cheerios.” Some people will look at the statement 100 different ways. I personally read this statement as, a person is so different while the people around them are so original. It seems that in todays society everyone wants to be just alike. Everyone is so afraid to go against the “norm” the they would rather sit back and blend in.
