Am I the only one who was AMAZINGLY disappointed when they changed the shape of Trix® brand cereal to fruit shapes?

Back in the olden days, Trix® brand cereal were simply multi-colored spheres of sugary goodness. Kids didn't realize that they manufacturers were having a subtle, subversive laugh at them each time they ate their product...

Fast-forward to now... someone let the fucking cat out of the bag and kids found out that they were actually eating rainbow colored rabbit shit... there was a silent rebellion... now Trix® brand cereal is molded into various fruit shapes. How boring.

I say that we all write to General Mills and tell them that we want our multi-colored rabbit shit back IMMEDIATELY!!!

Who is with me?!??!?

Bringin' back the rabbit shit edit!

You missed out on the good old days of rabbit shit-shaped Trix® brand cereal. They were so wonderful... you could pretend that a rainbow rabbit had shit your bowl full of fruity goodness...

Now the imagination has been sucked out of breakfast.

sad

I am 33, by the way.

found it here:

Trix

Trix was introduced in 1954, and the Rabbit first appeared on packages in 1960. No one loves the fruity taste of Trix more than the Rabbit. Just knowing that Trix is around sends him into a fantasy of its bright fruity colors and big fruity taste. Trix fruit-shaped cereal puffs have the 7 fruity flavors of raspberry red, orangey orange, lemony yellow, grapity purple, lime green, wildberry blue, and watermelon. Trix round pieces changed to fruit shaped pieces in 1992, and brighter colors were introduced in 1995. The Rabbit will try anything for a bowl, but Trix are for kids, not silly rabbits!
