Froot Loops
- For the music software formerly known as Fruityloops, see FL Studio.
Froot Loops (pronounced Fruit Loops) is a brand of cereal produced in the United States and Australia by Kellogg's. The cereal pieces are O-shaped, and come in banana, blueberry, lemon, marshmallow, orange, and strawberry (artificial) flavors. The Australian version of the cereal is without marshmallow to comply with local dietry requirements for products marketed to children.
Other varieties of the cereal sold by Kellogg's include Froot Loops 1/3 Less Sugar, and Marshmallow Froot Loops.
The cereal's mascot is Toucan Sam, a blue cartoon toucan with a striped beak. Originally each stripe on his beak represented one of the flavors of the pieces in the cereal, (red = strawberry, yellow = lemon, orange = orange) but the additions of new flavors have made this no longer true.
Toucan Sam speaks with a British accent on TV commercials and is known for his trademark catch-phrase "Follow your nose!" In the ads he often does just this, following his nose to the scent of a bowl of Froot Loops.
Toucan Sam also has three nephews who sometimes appear in commercials; they bear some resemblance to Donald Duck's nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
