I loved Fruit Loops
\na sugary cereal made straight from the devil’s dentist
\nHowever, there was something I loved more than the taste
\nit was the packaging.<\/p>\n
Call me a weirdo, call me a fruit loop
\nmy childhood memory of opening the kitchen cupboard door
\nwasn’t for the food, it was the plastic wrapping
\nI sniffed it every chance I got.<\/p>\n
Now, when I sniff the packaging, it doesn’t have the same sensation
\nthe nostalgia has worn off and all I’m left with are Fruit Loops
\nA consolation prize consisting of sugar and wasted memories
\nI should have made a candle out of the smell, but it wouldn’t sell.<\/p>\n
It would just be for me
\nto remember the simpler times
\nwhen sniffing cereal packaging gave me a high
\nI loved Fruit Loops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
