Trix
Made famous by the Trix Rabbit, this cereal
is fruity, which kids love. It is a
fortified cereal, so while it may not be the
healthiest choice for breakfast, it is
vastly better than say a donut. Trix has

yogurt that is kid friendly. This cereal was sold as early as
1954. You can view the new Trix commercial
and then look up old commercials on You Tube
and follow when the rabbit does and doesn't
get the cereal (hint: the first time he
nabbed it was 1969). |
