Fruit Loops

[Lannie]

Hey, guys, I've been looking for a recipe for a fruit loops flavor, and all the ones I've seen have just fruit flavors in them. Like orange, lemon, raspberry, etc. and that's it. I have some birdbrains liquid, and there's a definite "cereal" taste to it, and the fruit flavor is subtle. It tastes EXACTLY like the cereal out of the box to me. What is it that gives the "cereal" flavor? Would it be something like graham cracker or ...?... Does anyone know? I'm totally hooked on this stuff and I don't think I can afford to keep buying it at the rate I'm using it, so I'd like to try making some of my own if I can.

Thanks for any information you might have.

Hi Lannie. There are a few "cereal" inspired flavors in diy. You can check this link https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/3fxl0a/tfas_new_cereal_flavor_reviews_cuttwood_bird/

Lannie, I just saw this one posted over in the TFA thread. It's more of a cereal in milk rather than out of the box, but it's still tasty.

Thanks, Faerie, I had seen that and jotted it down before. I didn't have all the flavors, though, so I haven't tried it yet.

Sir (and all the rest... your name is tooooo long! LOL!), that thread just makes me think I'll never get a good facsimile to bird brains, since no one seems to know what's in it. I was trying to figure out what gives the "cereal" flavor (as in the oat rings, sans the fruit), not the finished cereal flavor. I can put several fruit flavors together and have a fruit flavor, but what makes it taste like fruit flavored CEREAL, you know? My brain is still foggy from being sick, so I don't know if I'm being clear. I saw some reference in comments on a flavor for yellow cake (on Bull City Vapors site) that mentioned that she used the yellow cake in all her cereal juices, so maybe it's something like that? The Reddit thread by whomever that was (and now I forget his name) implied that all the cereal FLAVORS (not finished juices) that he'd tried were not all that good. I know taste is very subjective, and I might like something he thinks is awful, but with limited finances available, I want to at least try to give myself the best chance possible. From reading that thread, I think I want to stay away from "fruit rings" flavors that contain lemon! LOL!

It might be nothing for the average person to "waste" a $3 or $4 bottle of flavor, but it's something to me, so I'm just trying to do as much research as possible before I start buying flavors. In the meantime, hubby went ahead and ordered me some more Bird Brains, so I won't run out THIS month. LOL! So I have some time to work on this, still.

Thanks for the info, though.
