Silly Rabbit. Trix are for kids.

In celebration for easter, let us all remember the poor rabbit who brought us cereal instead of fowl eggs.

He did however succeed in obtaining and eating the Trix on some occasions, including twice as the result of a box top mail-in contest (1976 and 1980) entitled "Let The Rabbit Eat Trix".[4] The results of the vote were an overwhelming "yes", and the rabbit was depicted in a subsequent commercial finally enjoying a bowl of Trix.

Well, I did not know this. It's nice they threw Sisyphus some Trix eventually

I somehow remember those commercials despite them being aired before my birth.

I'm guessing they tried this again in the late 80s or 90s.

Hexartes · 2013-03-31 12:22:36

I really hated those commercials when I was a little kid. I was also personally offended when anyone would suggest that it's "just a commercial."

Imipolex G · 2013-03-31 12:24:44

I vaguely remember there being a similar vote thingy around, I dunno, 1990 or so? But I don't think they let the rabbit have some that time, which pissed me off and made me vow to never eat Trix

SERIOUS BUSINESS

I think I remember another contest in that vein in the early 2000's that they never followed up on it.

^^I seem to remember the kids voting "yes" with the well dressed dude who was pro-Trix eating being very exited.

I also didn't like the Lucky Charms commercials

Fucking kids keep stealing the poor guy's cereal

What if he doesn't want to share with those pricks, huh?

I never minded those, because it seemed like both parties were willing to participate in it. And also because it wasn't always the kids who got the cereal in the end.

Imipolex G · 2013-03-31 13:39:25

I didn't have as much of a problem with those. Hell, I still eat Lucky Charms sometimes

Tre · 2013-03-31 14:51:08

With Lucky Charms, it seems like Lucky's leading them on a bit, but still, if the kids REALLY wanted them, they could just go to a store and buy them like the rest of us.

Trix... Those kids are just some ratchet bitches.

This sounds exactly like something my sister would say.

Was the Cookie Crook committing the crime of stealing cookies to eat for breakfast?

Is Reese's Peanut Butter cereal what happens when all sense of law and order leaves breakfast land and anarchy rules supreme?

Miss Miko Mayonegg · 2013-03-31 15:32:29

The rabbit was so tired of people telling him that he couldn't have Trix that he is, as we speak, getting another surgery done for his species transition so he can be human. One wonders: is he really a human inside? Did we do this to him? We will never know. But I am going to push for anthro rabbit equality.

See, I prefer the bee from the Honey Nut Cheerios commercials. He's always so generous.
