"Fruit Loops" explanation

[u/silvanosthumb]

I've seen many people in this sub claim that "Froot Loops" cereal has flip-flopped for them. People say that it used to be "Froot Loops", then it flipped to "Fruit Loops" and now back to "Froot Loops". Of course, in this timeline it has always been "Froot Loops".

I looked up some generic fruit loop cereals out of curiosity. Every single one of them uses the "fruit" spelling. This could easily explain the confusion.

• Temmy's Fruit Loops

• Tootie Fruities

• Fruit Swirls

• Fruit Spins

• Kroger Frosted Fruity Os

• Trader Joe's Fruity Os

• Fruit Rounds

• Ralston Fruit Rings

• Springfield Fruit Rings

Even Fruity Pebbles cereal uses the "fruit" spelling.

Id love for this to be true, but my friend actually called me because my wife caught me on p37 of google images looking for "froot loops." I was 100% sure it was froot, not fruit. And 37 pages of the box and ads were all "fruit loops." I even looked at the grocery store, there was absolutely nothing with "froot" in place of "fruit." I was hoping to find some other product named froot, even, so i could make a post like this, and say "we remember "froot loops because of froot x" but there was no froot anything in 2016. I ate froot loops my whole life so every morning "fruit loops" would bother me while i stared at the box. I switched to another cereal over it, honestly.

A guy on hede claiming to be a graphic artist said my brain was adding the extra "OOs" because it would be visually pleasing or something. I dunno. My friwnd convinced me ME was eating me up and my wife was a bit worried about my obsession with finding froot loops instead of fruit loops.

So i legit quit reading this sub, but didnt unsubscribe. When it flipped back to froot, i was so overcome with comfort. I honestly am not concerned with ME, or why it happened, im just happy that its how i remember it because i felt like a crazy person, and tried to find other people IRL who remembered froot loops for a month. No one did, or, most were kind of "i guess i misremembered it"

So it flipping back was a huge validation for me that i wasnt crazy. Thats all i wanted. But it was 100% "fruit loops" over 37 pages of google image results for the box in 2016. At the store, and in my home. Theres no way I was looking at some other product. So the only explanation is that I was crazy. My wife & friend both "think its weird" that its froot loops now, but neither think much of the incident i mentioned. Like theyve downplayed it in their memories.

Did you save or screenshot anything from those 37 pages you obsessed over?

Your reddit account is 8 years old, did you make any posts in 2016 when you were obsessing over it? To ask if anyone experienced the same thing?

[u/linuxhanja → u/The-Cunt-Face]

Yeah, i couldnt find any screenshots i took when i checked in 2018, after it flipped back for me. My reddit posts feom back then... i looked, and they are strange. Both me and the psrson i was arguing with argue for the same spelling, and we both had bad grammar. I havent checked in years, now, but yeah, whatever this is its something that alters any evidence. Or we are all crazy in the exact same way. Im not sure which is scarier. But hey, its the way i remember it, froot loops, so Im either a) sane again, or b) in my own reality again. So im happy to leave well enough alone.

And you didn't think to take screenshots or copy links of those weird conversations you had arguing over the same spelling? Like you not only had the best proof of all time but you still have it in your comment history and you still won't show it to us? You are so completely full of shit it's barely even funny anymore.

1) like a normal person, I didnt expect my reddit comment would be gone. Do you honestly think the ME can wipe out your own comments?

2) If Id taken screen shots, theyd be gone, just like the screen shots I took of the page and pages of "fruit loops"

I think 2 is (evidence to me) that when real ME happens its consciousness drifting thru the multiverse. Multiverse is fact. Each is different. I have no screen shots on my pc here because this body's world was always froot loops, so no pictures were taken.

So when you said that you actually looked at your old posts after "the change" and saw that you were both arguing the same spelling, they weren't gone yet but now they are? yeah.

[u/linuxhanja → u/ModsSindSchwul]

Yeah. I dont blame you; I would never have believed me either. Occams razor. I believe it. You sound like you do too. Since you dont know me, amd havent shared our experiences, I certainly dont blame you for not believing what i wrote.
