Before There Was That Blasted Rabbit

Here's a 1950s Trix cereal box.

No Rabbit?

Here's a mid-1950s box for General Mills' Trix cereal, before they started using a cereal-obsessed rabbit as its' mascot.

Raspberry Red, Lemon Yellow, Orange Orange..............

And NO obnoxious silly rabbit, either!

1955 magazine ad for Trix Cereal.

 

After Roughly Half-A-Century, Trix Are STILL For Kids!

Silly Rabbit.





Mort Marshall, who lated did the voice of frustrated zookeeper Stanley Livingston on the old Tennesse Tuxedo television show (sponsored by General Mills, which made and still makes Trix cereal), voiced the rabbit on this commercial from around 1960. That old slogan is STILL used today in Trix commercials.
