[edit] Stub sorting

Is this still a stub? It has a fair amount of content. If so, what additional content should be here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phantom784 (talk • contribs) at 16:51, 2 August 2005

In order: No. Agreed. No clue.

[edit] Critisms

Reaction from animal rights activists on cruelty towards fictional rabbits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.41.225.222 (talk • contribs) at 23:32, 7 January 2006

The fact that this cereal hasn't been good at all since they changed the shapes and added new flavors................—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.79.247 (talk • contribs) at 06:09, 22 May 2006

[edit] Trix Rabbit ever win?

My brother said he saw this happen but I doubt it. Verdict? Piepants 01:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)Piepants

The Trix rabbit has eaten Trix at least two times in the past.^[1] -W.A.C. (4/13/2007)

[edit] Kix Connection?

• Trix seems to be a spin-off of Kix (based on the names, which rhyme, and the shape.) WizardDuck 02:58, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
• I was just thinking the same thing. The other factor I thought of is that the name "Trix" suggests the number three, also, the number of flavors the cereal originally had. (So it'd be like "Tri-Kix" or something.) Octan 02:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

i was just wondering if trix was ever round before??? like back in the 80's or something....something reminds me of them being round...not the fruit shaped...

Yes, Trix was most definitely round when I was a kid (way back in the late '60s). I don't know when the shape was changed.

[edit] When did this get pulled from Canada?

Anyone know when we lost Trix in Canada? -- Randall00 ^Talk 01:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Family guy episode trivia

I remember in the episode of family guy, "breaking out is hard to do", it shows a trix commercial as a sponsor for a sumo wrestling match on TV. In the sponsorship commercial, it shows a bunch of asian children at a table eating trix, while an angry trix rabit stands watching them. The kids say "silly rabbit, trix are for kids," and the trix rabbit resolves to killing the children with karate moves. After he kills them, he runs off with one of the child's bowl of trix cereal.

[edit] Name

Whats his name? Silly Rabbit?

[edit] Spoiler Warning Needed

In the bit about the reference in Kill Bill Vol. 1, the real name of The Bride is given away without even a spoiler warning. True, it's a stupid name, and revealing it doesn't spoil a great element of the story, but Tarantino bleeped out her name from the film on purpose, and it's not revealed until the second film because he wanted it that way. I suggest either removing the name, just leaving in "and provides a hint as to her real name", or adding a spoiler warning. Djr36 23:17, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prejudice in commercials

This might be considered over-the-top, but do you think the Trix commercials, in a way, represent prejudice and rascism? Think about this. The Rabbit, representing African Americains, wants to have one bowl of Trix cereal(representing the same rights as white people), but the white people(The Kids) say, "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!" in other words, that means, "Stupid! We get to have this and you can't because you're not like us!" I wonder if that could be considered in the article. 65.103.61.154 22:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I think you're reading too much into an advertising campaign. 216.254.25.199 16:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I was just suggesting some thoughts. Somebody ought to warn General Mills about this possibility, or some legal trouble might come up, and we might lose a huge contribution to our breakfast system. Not trying to be harsh, I'm just collecting what can be gotten from the facts of what is evident and presenting them for dicussion. 65.103.61.154 00:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I smell bullshit. 58.178.34.211 07:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Was that support...or opposition? 65.103.61.154 21:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "1992 was when Trix cereal replaced" paragragh is trivia

Didn't know what to do with this paragraph when cleaning up this page. This paragraph either needs removing or moving. It's pretty trivial. --86.18.82.203 05:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
