of this here cereal bag here. (I threw away the box)
Did you know that Trix are now just fruit-flavored frosted corn puffs again? They just look like painted Cocoa Puffs. Or Kix. Or Reese's Puffs. The Trix I remember were shaped like the fruit they so artificially represented. That's what made Trix so much fun. It wasn't just boring, albeit colorful, balls of cereal. It was different. They were lively. They had personality. When I looked into a bag of old Trix I saw a cereal that was trying. Now when I look into the bag, all I see is this staring back at me:
Dull, lifeless, emotionless little puffs of corn. They all look exactly the same but for the colors. Nothing exciting about this. The old Trix got you ready and excited for the grueling, disgusting day ahead of you. This new Trix just stares back at you and says, "yeah, so? Eat me. Don't eat me. Fuck if I care. Loser."
Anyway, that picture ought to give you your first hint. The winner will receive the crushed remains of these 5 pieces of Trix wrapped in page 18 of The Value of Helping: The Story of Harriet Tubman, shown here:
