Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 26, 2020

Beware any food that has to misspell it’s alleged main ingredient to avoid a false advertising lawsuit.

Maybe Phoebe’s parents should stop shopping at Pay-’n-Pay.

UNICORN!

you just had to ask, Phoebe, about equestrian colour deficiency

Try “Magic gems” now.

(sigh). Back in MY day, we got our choice of rice-chex, oatmeal or cheerios and we were grateful !

The reason most mammals are colorblind is because they evolved from nocturnal ancestors. It’s believed the reason monkeys and apes re-evolved color vision is so that they can tell when fruit is fresh.

Conversely, most birds and reptiles have great color vision, hence why they come in so many bright colors mammals don’t. In fact, they can see colors we humans can’t.

Those are Froot Ovals. You can tell by looking at Peter the Parrot on the box.

Fruit Loops are all the same flavor, just different colors.

Technically, a magic spell could sort things by colors, even if the user is colorblind. It is magic after all.

She’s gotcha there, Phobes.

I remember when Marigold helped Phoebe with her magic act. She produced colours which she could see but which were invisible to the human eye.

Why would you even ask such a dumb question, Phoebe?

Despite what generations of children have believed, Kellogg’s admits that all Fruit Loops taste the same, no matter their color. By implication, they also smell the same.

Here’s a secret: Froot Loops all have the same flavor: Fruit. It’s a mixture of all the fruit flavors in one. It’s your brain that makes them taste different.

Jeremy is eating a similar cereal over in Zits.

The fruit loops do not have individual flavors just some red dye #2

Points to Marigold.

She can’t sort them by smell because they’re all the same flavor. Fruit.

I want my Froot Loops – excuse me, Froot-O’s, sorted like that :(
