Okay fine, Toucan Sam. You got me. This really does Froot my Loops.
Everyone’s favorite nose-following mascot has been pushing his new “Whatever Froots Your Loops” slogan across social media, in everything from tweets to SnapChat filters. Ol’ Toucan Samuel has even been using it in a much-advertised Froot Loops Milkshake recipe video that I’ve seen on Instagram more times than that milkshake has calories.
That slogan must not have inspired much milkshake motivation, because now Burger King is cutting out the middle man and making a real Froot Loops Shake for us. The moral of the story? If you don’t want to make your own dessert, just be lazy for long enough and a plastic-masked monarch will lovingly pour it right into your lap.
The $2.99 shake is hitting Burger King on April 17th, so mark your calendar, stake out your local BK for a good place to pitch a tent, and prepare you taste buds for trampling—this is gonna be like Black Friday, just with a lot more lactose.
And speaking of which, Burger King describes the Froot Loops Milkshake as containing “Velvety Vanilla-flavored Soft Serve, FROOT LOOPS® Cereal pieces and sweet sauce are hand spun to perfection to create a twist on one of America’s classic breakfast cereals.”
I don’t know what “sweet sauce” is, but I know I’d like it served from wine glasses at my wedding.
My wife has a love affair with BK’s Chocolate Oreo Shake, and we were both very pleasantly surprised by the Dr. Pepper Shake in particular. All this is to say that with my love of cereal (clearly my I have an unhealthy fetish as I make a daily check of a website devoted to the processed grain ambrosia) my calendar is marked in highlighter with Froot Loop colored hearts for what I am now lamely coining FLS-day…
Froot Loops has certainly seen a resurgence in popularity lately. Between the other twenty odd Froot flavored products and the constant $2/box specials on the cereal it sure seems like someone at Kelloggs marketing wants me consuming more than my fair share…
