Forbidden Froot (A Joke Ad for Froot Loops)

A Michelle Obama speech about childhood obesity causes the parents of two little kids to hide the Froot Loops and tell their children they may not have Froot Loops anymore due to the threat of childhood obesity. (They hide the Froot Loops in the back of some very high cupboard in the kitchen.) Oh, but we all know about Forbidden Froot: we only want it that much more because of the allure of the forbidden. And so the children go to extreme lengths to get the Froot Loops, building a rickety tower of chairs and end tables to climb up to the high cabinet, almost falling and killing themselves, which shows their parents that it’s more dangerous to try to put a prohibition on Froot Loops than it is just to let their kids have them. And so the kids live happily ever after, eating the previously Forbidden Froot of Froot Loops.
