I've seen this commercial on TV and it just makes me cringe. Some parents must be swallowing this, because marketers don't spend this kind of money on TV ad campaigns unless they get results (= increased sales). But pitching Froot Loops as "healthy" and "high-fibre"? This says more about the dimwitted parents who believe it as much as the unethical manufacturers who pitch it. Aaarrrrrgggh!
