I adore Fruit Loops with a passion that is kind of concerning. This adoration began in my childhood (I was the sweet tooth in the family) and has shamefully continued into adulthood. I was far from spoiled by the Loops as my parents NEVER purchased sweet cereals when I was a kid. It was during my one year at Covenant College when I realized, Hmmm… I could eat Fruit Loops for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I want to! So when the hot food options in the cafeteria looked undesirable, to the cereal dispensers I flew. Now that I own my own home and answer to no man (just kidding, Jeremy!), I occasionally indulge in box or two of the rainbow-colored multi-grained o’s. [Funny story: Last Friday night I went through the checkout lane at SunMart and the cashier, just being friendly or flirty — I don’t know which, asked if I was going out partying that night. I glanced at my purchases, a half gallon of milk and a box of Fruit Loops and said, “Oh yeah. It’s a big night for me.”] One word of warning… The Loops must not be eaten for breakfast, afternoon snack, bedtime snack and again for breakfast the next day. There is definitely such thing as Fruit Loop Overload.

Other cereal-lovers might find this article interesting. I can say with great certainty that I’d eat at Cereality (oh Renae, I can sense you groaning right now!) while traveling, though probably not while in Lincoln.
