News: Froot Loops Cereal Straws Return after 12 Years (Cocoa Krispies Straws, Too!)

Froot Loops Cereal Straws are Back for 2021!

Have you ever watched helplessly as your favorite breakfast product disappears from shelves, lost to the dark sea of indefinite corporate discontinuation? I’m sure most cereal fans have been there before—from Milk Chocolate Graham Pop-Tarts to Cap’n Crunch’s Orange Creampop Crunch, I’ve certainly got my fair share of long-lost loves.

In this state of morning munchie mourning, you’ve probably thought, “I’ll start a petition to bring my fav back!” And while this is certainly an inspiring idea, it’s always been impossible to tell whether even the most popular cereal petition could successfully reanimate a dead product from its grainy graveyard.

Well, until now, because Kellogg’s has outright said that a fan petition to bring back Froot Loops Cereal Straws is exactly what’s making it happen. So there you have it: all you need to bring back a discontinued snack is 12 years and over 81,000 signatures.

Existing from around 2007–2009, Froot Loops Cereal Straws made a huge nostalgic impact in a short time. I’m not gonna say they were functionally the best breakfast innovation—the things are so fragile that a nearby sneezing bee could reduce each straw to shards and rubble—but these cereal straws were still so fun. From cereal milk to smoothies, everything was fair game to suck up with these suckers. Heck, I was even tempted to go to town on one of those shimmering rainbow oil puddles.

Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws are Back for 2021!

Froot Loops Cereal Straws, as well as Cocoa Krispies Cereal Straws, will return to shelves this October in 5, 18, and 24 count sizes. No word yet on whether Apple Jacks Cereal Straws, which also released over a decade ago, may return, too.
