Breaking news: CLASSIC TRIX BALLS ARE BACK!
Keith over at It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Blogging) reported yesterday that General Mills has gone retro with Trix cereal.
That’s right, they’ve done away with the fruit-shaped puffs that were introduced back in 1991 and reverted back to the classic ball-shaped puffs, a la Kix!
He writes:
I’m at Target, aiming to fix my household lack of Total Raisin Bran, when I look over and see Trix. But it’s not the lame fruit shapes I see, THEY ARE BACK TO THE COLORED BALLS!!! I am in no way kidding when I say I stood there, put my hand over my dropped jaw and quietly said “Oh my God”. It was really quite touching.
Touching indeed. Lump in throat accomplished, Keith. I literally stood up and saluted upon reading this.
Why? Because Trix was SO much better that way. The ball-shaped puffs had that awesome rough texture, crunchier constitution, and a stronger citrus taste. The fruit-shaped puffs really dulled down the flavor and had this weird waxy coating.
This is HUGE news, folks. I’ll be heading to Target right after work. What the hell, I should just take the day off.

I am so disappointed with the switch back to round ball shaped Trix cereal pieces. I snacked on these for years in the evening instead of “junk” food and loved the various sizes of colored fruits. It is no fun any longer with these little balls that don’t even taste the same–very boring and bland. I have been scouring stores looking for the old Trix cereal–but to no avail. I guess I will have to suffer without the fruit shaped Trix cereal. I gave my opinion to General Mills, but they don’t seem to care–I can’t believe anyone would prefer the little ball shaped pieces to the fruit shaped, better tasting Trix.
