Fruit Loops vs. Cheerios
So a common argument found among young people today is which is better, Fruit Loops or Cheerios? In a sense, they are the same exact thing, round-shaped food. However, one is colorful and the other is rather dull-colored. To support the Cheerios argument, Cheerios are healthier for you than Fruit Loops. They have the multi-grain healthiness to them so this increases their popularity to parents. This argument definitely fits our text book title, Everything’s An Argument. In a popular poll on the first floor of Lee Hall, the numbers prove the true winner. With the ratio 10:3, Cheerios is a clear winner. Among the popular reasons for choosing Cheerios:
“They are healthier for you”
“They are multi-grain”
“They’re yummy!”
“Because, they’re just better! You can’t even compare the two.”
So based on the first floor of Lee, Cheerios is a much better cereal than Fruit Loops. So, what do you prefer? Cheerios or Fruit Loops?

So i think this is really funny. I don't know why, but it made me laugh. I think just because I was trying to decide what to eat this morning, and I have fruit loops and cheerios. I picked cheerios, but not the regular kind. Yuck, those are gross. I picked honey nut cheerios :) and yes they are yummy
ReplyDeleteCheerios may be better for you but I would pick Fruit Loops any day! They just taste better!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an Essay by this guy Jim Corder where he's trying to prove that you can write an essay about _anything_ [which by the way is a key principle of our class :)], so he uses the example of Cheerios -- just to give you a taste: "Any single Cheerio, then, seems to weight in at about 0.0038+ ounces, to measure 3/8 inches in diameter, about 3/16 inches in thickness. Since I do not have a keen or an accurate sense of smell, I cannot report on the smell of Cheerios. The taste of a cheerio, unadorned with either milk or strawberries, gives me a faint sense of walnuts mixed with a faint recollection from old days when iw as a little boy. Sometimes, when my otehre wasn't looking, I took a mouthful of uncooked oats (meant to be cooked and hot for morning cereal) and pretended it was chewing tobacco...I doubt that I would ever have come to write abou tCheerios were it not for a sorry episode in my freshman class, where we sete ach toher dull subjects to write bouat. Now that it's happened, I find I don't mind. There's a littl esomething to learn if you look closely at just about anything, and an archeologist friend of min e nce to ld me that he thought eh could elarn more abou a culture by diggining in a kitchen than by exploring a cathedral..." (Jim Corder, "Hoping for Essays)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had Fruity Cheerios? They're my new favorite -- kind of like if Cheerios and Fruit Loops had a baby.
