Trix (cereal)
Trix is a brand of breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills in the United States and Canada. Introduced in 1954, it is known for its fruit-flavored, brightly colored corn puffs.
History:
Originally, Trix were spherical in shape. In 1991, they were changed to fruit shapes, including raspberries, lemons, and oranges. The fruit shapes have varied over time, sometimes including grapes, watermelons, and blueberries.
Marketing:
Trix cereal is well-known for its marketing slogan, "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!" This tagline, often featured in television commercials, highlights the rabbit character's attempts to obtain the cereal, which are always thwarted by children. The rabbit, whose name has evolved over time but is often simply referred to as "the Trix Rabbit," is a mascot synonymous with the brand. While the rabbit is often denied the cereal, on several occasions over the years, public voting campaigns have been held to decide whether or not the rabbit should be allowed to enjoy Trix.
Nutritional Information:
The nutritional content of Trix cereal has evolved over time. It typically contains added vitamins and minerals. Like most breakfast cereals, it contains sugar and carbohydrates. Consumers seeking specific nutritional information should consult the product packaging.
Variations:
Over the years, General Mills has introduced various variations of Trix cereal, including different shapes, flavors, and promotional tie-ins with popular media franchises. These variations are typically limited-edition releases.
