New Shape? Hah!
May 23rd 2007 01:55
In the early ‘80s, Trix were round puff balls. They only had three colors (orange, yellow, and purple I think). Then they went to hard little fruit shapes that cut the shit out of the roof of your mouth. I guess they finally figured out the shapes suck and went back to the puff balls. I bet they thought I wouldn’t remember when they advertised the “new” shape on the box.
Lucky Charms is another one. Pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, blue diamonds, and purple horseshoe marbits (marshmallow bits) is what I grew up with. Those are charms, not red balloons, green hats, pots of gold, and whatever the hell else they have stuffed in there now.
Oh, and don’t get me started on Fruit Roll-ups. I don’t want little punch out shapes, and multiple colors, and made up fruit flavors. Give me a basic peach or cherry Fruit Roll-up and I will be happy. What’s that? You can’t find one? No kidding. Maybe General Mills should have an ad campaign for that advertising “New normal flavors!” I’ll probably be the only one that knows they aren’t new.
