"It would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden," the Republican senator said.

      That’s a new one.

      Oh it really is a new one.

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/boycott-looms-for-kellogg-s-froot-loops-for-pushing-woke-agenda-on-kids/ar-AA1kw2QO

      Many former fans are toying with the idea of a boycott since word started circulating on social media about Kellogg’s Froot Loops promoting a digital library “with equity, diversity and inclusion content” advertised on boxes of the cereal in Canada.

      The digital library website, co-sponsored by Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, allows limited access to all users who confirm they are at least 13 years old, and additional access with a code found inside the specially marked boxes of Froot Loops.

      Thank you, Canada, aggravate away. Gonna go buy some to support the cause and see if I can get some repubs I know on the mailing list or something.

        I was wondering why my neighbor was out in his front yard burning boxes of breakfast cereal. His wife was pissed too, she was carrying the AR-15.

          It’s a hell of a time when you can’t be certain if this insane collection of words is sincere or not. All of it. It could go either way.

        if msn.com say it’s so, then I’m inclined to believe the opposite.

          Thank you for volunteering your idiot status.

          Here’s one from the right leaning Washington Examiner:

            You’re not going to believe this, but France, Norway, Austria and Finland have all banned fruit loops.

            😅

              Between the sugar content, preservatives and food coloring that wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

              edit: bingo, preservatives and coloring

              Must say I’d like to try those versions with natural flavoring.

                  Oh, me too, I haven’t bought cereal like this in forever because I’m not into sugary stuff but hey, for the cause and counteracting magats I’ll make an exception… but if I had the chance I would like to try the “healthy” version just because.

        I think it has something to do with making a online childrens library?

            If you were worried about gay indoctrination then why did you feed your kids the rainbow cereal before?

            They get really frustrated over this because they can’t call you gay as a retort

        Didn’t his estate make the decision to pull them, and then Republicans cried about how Democrats were cancelling Dr Seuss? They can never let the facts get in the way.
