        It’s spelled that way because Fruit Loops was too generic to trademark. There is a story about froot loops changing its name due to a lawsuit but that was proven apocryphal. There are other brands with this being a real issue that happened.

        In 2020 there was an Australian lawsuit with hopes to force Kellogg to change the name because Froot Loops had over the years become a slur for disabled people. It’s failed.
