One of my family's favorite hotel amenities is the free breakfast (the other being an indoor pool). Lotta and Zibbi pile high their plates with every food that looks remotely edible (meaning the foods of course, with the most sugar and/or chocolate). This is where Zibbi discovered her love of Froot Loops. I intentionally spread the mis truth that hotels were in fact the only place that had this chemical laden, dye filled delicacy. Now that Zibbi is 7 and has more access to the outside world through the internet, she has discovered that in fact Froot Loops are available at Amazon. Which led her to believe that they might be available in other stores too. Sigh. The gig is up. Yesterday, I ventured to our small, local cooperative grocery store. I found some alternative/natural less colorful fruit loops, named, Fruitful O's. Zibbi tried one bite and proclaimed them not the same. At all. Not even close. I guess it IS actually the dyes and chemicals that give them their taste.
Follow up: This morning, Zibbi decided to give Fruitful O's a second chance and she ate the entire bowl. Desperate times I guess.
