Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
The Conan and Jordan Show – Beet Red Face

Okay, I would like to try the British Fruit Loops. Nevertheless, Fruit Loops was always my holy grail. And I'll tell you something, not about Fruit Loops, but about Trix, which is a General Mills cereal, okay? So they also have artificial colors here. And a number of years ago, General Mills took the admirable stance and they said, we are going to phase out artificial colors in our cereal.

And I said, finally, our country is moving forward. They listen to the consumer. The consumer votes with their dollar. Consumer trends show people want healthier. McDonald's offers salads now. So now finally, they're getting rid of artificial colors. And they did. And of course, the colors were now natural. They were a little more muted and the cereal tasted exactly the same.

And suddenly there was an angry letter writing campaign by Americans complaining about this change. People saying this is not the cereal I grew up with. I do not want my children having these disgusting colors. And I'm thinking to myself, you're blowing it. You're blowing it. We're finally moving forward as a nation. And you're you're you're saying the exact opposite of what you should say.

People were so disappointed that Cheryl wasn't as bright as it used to be, tasting exactly the same. And you know what General Mills did? They said, sorry, we made a mistake. And they put the artificial colors back in. And that's regression. And I'm incredibly ashamed of this country's reaction to the naturally colored tricks.

OK, but recently I had one of my cravings that I wanted to satisfy and I was in the supermarket. So I went to the cereal aisle and I said, let me just take care of this, nip this in the bud and then it will disappear and I can eat normal, unprocessed foods for another three years. So I filled my basket with my Holy Grail Fruit Loops, and then I mixed it up a little bit.

I also did Golden Grams, which was also one that I have liked historically. And I went with a Lucky Charms, which is like a wild card, guilty pleasure, another one of those super sugary cereals. And then I went with Quaker Cereal Life. Life is not quite as sweet as some of the other ones.
